When asked about his sexual attraction to underage girls, in an interview with New York Magazine, he responded: ‘That’s a rumour that comes from the Earth, like all rumours. No. It’s not true. I love women, period. If I wasn’t a celebrity, people wouldn’t be saying these things about me.
The ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ hitmaker has faced numerous accusations of sexual interest for several years.
He continued: ‘I’m going to always have the gift along with the curse. I feel like I got a million people hating me, I’ve got maybe eight million loving me. So I’ve got nine million talking about me, and in a strange, magical way, it keeps me in the game. I only have a problem with haters. Other than that, I’m doing well.’
