R. Kelly Plays a Woman Like a Violin on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'

(Radio.com) R&B legend R. Kelly continued the promotional blitz for his upcoming new album, Black Panties, with a live performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday night (Dec. 4) assisted by rapper 2 Chainz.

Kelly set the stage by reproducing the lascivious Black Panties cover art in real-time with a model on his lap that he stroked with a violin bow. He performed � sporting the same bedazzled Phantom of the Opera-styled mask from the cover � a medley of new songs, beginning with "Genius," which segued into the first live performance of "My Story," featuring 2 Chainz, who stuck around to hype the crowd during "You Deserve Better."

After the show taping, excited fans � decked out in Black Panties promo t-shirts � were treated to what amounted to a scaled down version of an R. Kelly concert, with the star blazing through a cavalcade of hits including "Ignition (Remix)," "Your Body's Callin'" and "Step in the Name of Love." Watch video here.
