Marry The P***y - R. Kelly has a load of love ballads that would be perfect for any wedding but Swaggy P put in a request to have the R&B king sing one of his more raunchier songs for his upcoming special day with Iggy Azalea. The Lakers star put the word out that he wanted R to perform "Marry The P***y" from his Black Panties album and it looks like the request will be granted.Speaking with TMZ, Kelly revealed, “I didn’t think it was real until I met my man today. Now that I know it's real, we have to sit down and discuss the logistics of the whole thing. I never thought anybody on the planet would come and ask me to sing it for a wedding but you know what, it should be fun."If R. Kelly does bless Nick and Iggy with his stellar vocals, we're sure they'll be a little 12 Play mixed in to but until then, check out a few more R&B stars who helpe...
