But why, though???

We know he’s in the middle of a foreclosure situation, but those cash flow issues can’t be anything R. Kelly couldn’t solve with a couple of live gigs, right? Sadly, as TMZ reports, that’s not what he’s been focusing his energy on…

R. Kelly needs funding — AND QUICK — because the singer tells TMZ he’s ready to film THIRTY TWO new chapters of his legendary hip-hopera “Trapped in the Closet” … but he needs financial backing first.

When we last saw “Trapped” … the year was 2007 and Kelly had released 22 chapters, involving a little person who crapped his pants … a neighbor with the spatula … and a pimp with the stuttering problem.

Now, Kelly — who was leaving an L.A. gym yesterday — tells us he wants to continue the saga — “but it costs a lot of money to do … so we’re actually looking for investors.”

He cannot be serious… Hit the flip to see what Robert explain why this makes sense.
