R Kelly is being trolled on Twitter after attempting to join in with some Black Panther-related Twitter lols.
Following its release, fans of the Marvel film including airport staff have been posting mock-ups of flight details to Wakanda – the fictional land imagined in the film.
The story of the film goes that the East African nation of Wakanda was hit by a massive meteorite made of vibranium – a fictional and very powerful metal, the nation has been able to use this material in clothes, high-tech transport systems and construction and develop an extremely advanced civilisation.
But the nation has had to hide in plain sight so it is not pillaged, and so is known to the rest of the world as a third world country. The film depicts Wakanda as a rich country where traditional practices and modern technology co-exist beautifully – in fact one of the film's stars Lupita Nyong’o has said Wakanda is what Africa would be like if it hadn't been colonised.

Unfortunately for him, people were quick to remind him of the allegations of child abuse he’s facing.

And here’s what people think the flight attendants would do.
With Wakanda being seen as such a perfect place, it’s no wonder having R Kelly on board would cause Black Panther fans extreme stress. R Kelly should’ve known this would be the response, no?
