R. Kelly reflects on his relationship with Michael Jackson in a recent Instagram post.

It's been a strange year for R. Kelly in many, many ways. After dealing with several controversies through the summer until now, he's still managed to maintain a solid career in the music industry and nothing has really changed his status in music either. He's managed to keep a strong fanbase throughout everything and it doesn't seem like that'll change either. Most recently, he decided to show some love to Michael Jackson's kids for showing him some love while reflecting on his relationship with their late father.

R. Kelly shared a video on his Instagram of two of Michael Jackson's kids, Paris and Prince, vibing out to his hit single "Ignition." Both Paris and Prince Jackson are seen on the road mouthing the words to the song. R. Kelly later cuts to another clip of Michael Jackson in a car dancing and vibing out to the song as well.

"I’m grateful to have called #MichaelJackson a friend. Pretty dope to see my music is touching his generations! @princejackson & @parisjackson having a blast while riding to #ignition," he wrote. Both R. Kelly and Michael Jackson have worked together in the past, most notably on the song "You Are Not Alone" which ended up being Michael's last No. 1 hit in America prior to his death.

In other Jackson family related news, Paris Jackson shared a rare family photo which also featured a rare glimpse at her brother, Blanket, who has rarely makes public appearances.
