It was just a matter of time before someone answered Beyonce’s “If I Were A Boy.” Surprisingly the first man to answer the “I Am…Sasha Fierce” singer is R. Kelly! R. Kelly issued a remix to Beyonce’s hit Monday, which is currently topping the UK Charts. Singing “You’re not a boy, so you don’t understand,” Kelly puts his stamp on the Toby Gad produced single. “So I go to the club with the guys and sometimes flirt with the girls.” “I should be able to roll out as long as I’m coming home to you,” Kelly continues attempting to cover a man’s perspective. While Kelly sings about being a guy who says “I am not a perfect man” for the majority of the song, he does take aim at being a girl for a brief moment. “If I were a girl. I wouldn’t play games.” As previously reported on Singersroom, R. Kelly was to release “12 Play: 4th Quarter,” a follow up to his last effort “Double Up” this fall. A video for the single “Skin” was released over the summer. CLICK HERE to listen to “If I Were A Boy” remix.
