R. Kelly announced that he is readying a sequel to his 2013 album Black Panties. Kellz told V Magazine that the album will be called White Panties. He said,
“It’s called White Panties. And you can expect a whole other level.” He also revealed that he plans to hit the road with Mary J Blige for the King & Queen tour — and wants to release an album called King & Queen. He said, “I’m in the studio right now working on a song for me and Mary. I’m even looking forward to proposing that we do a whole album together. But this is the first I’ve mentioned it. The King & Queen album.”
