There aren't a lot of folks who are willing to defend R. Kelly these days.

Fat Joe and Ja Rule even agreed to avoid any songs with the convicted sex creep during their recent Verzuz.

But Boosie Badazz is still rocking with Kells.

His city doesn't feel the same way.

Yesterday,  Baton Rouge, Louisiana stripped Kelly of the key to the city they gave him in 2013.

It's a symbolic gesture since Kelly still gets to keep the key and a plaque, worth a total of $256.

Little good that will do him in prison, while he may be spending the rest of his life after the Feds got him on sex trafficking and racketering.
