The “Bump & Grind” singer (photo inset) canceled a string of tour dates last week after a BuzzFeed story alleged he had assembled a “sex cult” in his homes outside Atlanta and Chicago. And sources close to the singer tell us that among the things some of Kelly’s alleged roommates have in common are new breasts.

At past shows, they’ve hidden in plain sight backstage, not looking the part of groupies. We’re told the women typically blend into the crowd, wearing sweatpants, baggy clothes and baseball caps.

The story also claimed the singer has been “dictating what they eat, how they dress, when they bathe, when they sleep, and how they engage in sexual encounters that he records.”
The singer has denied the report of a “cult” and insists he is not holding anyone against their will.
