R Kelly has been fighting sexual abuse charges filed against him and on Wednesday, the R&B singer sat down for an explosive interview with CBS' Gayle King and the result was a shocking breakdown with him screaming at the camera. Such was the impact of Kelly's screaming that the interview had to be halted midway. The 80-minute long conversation has now hit the headlines. R Kelly has been charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse with nearly three or four victims being underage at the time of the assault back in the 1990s.

At one point in the interview, King asked the singer on which lies disturb him the most and he said, "Oh my God. Um — all of them," he said, then rattled off: "Got little girls trapped in the basement, helicopters over my house trying to rescue someone that doesn't need rescuing because they're not in my house. Handcuffing people, starving people. I have a harem, what you call it — a cult. I don't even really know what a cult is. But I know I don't have one." R.

Catch bits from the explosive CBS interview between R Kelly and Gayle King:

The interview, of course, went viral when Kelly lost his patience and started screaming staring directly into the camera. He said, " I didn't do this stuff! This is not me. I'm fighting for my fucking life! You're killing me with this!" Such was the impact of this interview that even Oprah Winfrey took to Twitter to talk about it as she hailed the courage and calm that Gayle King showed all through this interview.
