Keri for this collaboration, wears specially made jackets that have Michael’s trademark sparkling effect.
“It’s in honor of Michael Jackson,” R. Kelly said during the “Number One (Behind The Scenes)” video. “Don’t nobody get the wrong impression and try to make it negative. I love my man. I will rep him for the rest of my life.”
Keri added that it was only fitting to honor Michael in the video. “He’s No. 1,” Keri said. “That’s what it’s all about.
