Following "Surviving R. Kelly," Boosie Badazz & Cam'ron bring Hugh Hefner into the fold.

 manLifetime's Surviving R. Kelly shared horrific details of R. Kelly's alleged victims. Although the allegations have been around for a while, more people, including your favorite celebrities, have been wondering why more wasn't done to protect these young women. Meek Mill, Tank, John Legend, and Chance The Rapper were among the many who condemned Kelly following the Dream Hampton-produced docuseries. However, Survivng R. Kelly has sparked up questions from both Boosie Badazz and Cam'ron who wonder why Hugh Hefner didn't face similar condemnation for the Playboy empire.

Boosie and Cam'ron have shared their thoughts following Surviving R. Kelly. The two rappers shared a similar sentiment as to why a Hugh Hefner, a white man who also faced accusations of sexual misconduct towards underaged girls, didn't face the same type of public scrutiny as R. Kelly. Boosie reposted a video of a man questioning why black celebrities are often portrayed negatively in the media before he shared a photo of Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion.

"BUT THIS IS THIS IS MAN YALL PRAISE Frfr #theyalwayswantofuckovertheblackmanlegacy IM JUST SAYIN 💯💯IF HEFTNER WAS A BLACK MAN DOING THAT WHAT WOULD HE BE CALLED?" he captioned the photo.

Cam'ron spoke on R. Kelly as well over the weekend. Over a series of post, Cam'ron made it clear that he doesn't endorse R. Kelly's actions in any way, but he did question why Hefner didn't face backlash for allegedly recruiting underage for Playboy.

"For all ya defending Hugh. He had Brooke Shields naked taking pics in da tub when she was 10. Not defending “Robert” but it’s mad pedi’s (no feet) out here," he wrote.
