'People (want) to work with me to spite him or people (don't want) to work with me just because of who he is,' Buku Abi said of pursuing her own music career.
NEW YORK — For a long time, Buku Abi ran away from pursuing music.
"At home it's normal, you're living a life with your parents; your dad and mom aren't going to go into all the bad things that might be going on outside of home," she said,"but kids in school don't necessarily care. Fifth and sixth grade is when I started learning the sore part of it, the not so good part. I think that was the hardest part for me because for so long I went with this image of who my dad and what my family .
Entering the music business comes with a different challenge for Abi: She can't escape the fact that R. Kelly is her father. She is no longer in touch with him and says being his daughter is like"a double-edged sword." When it comes to making music, she doesn't deny that's where she and her father connect:"There's a lot about him as an artist that inspires me."
