The saga continues in the never-ending drama concerning R. Kelly.

Gayle King sat down with his two girlfriends Friday morning on CBS This Morning to discuss their relationship with the singer. Azriel Clary and Joycelyn Savage believe their parents want money from Kelly, echoing the singer's claims from his Wednesday morning interview with King.

Both women say their families "sold" them to Kelly, encouraging the women to have sexual interactions with him while underage. They believe their parents are publicly retaliating because Kelly stopped paying them.

Clary noted her parents told her to lie about her age when she was 17, take sexual photos and videos with Kelly and threatened to blackmail him if necessary.

"Our parents are out here just to get money," Savage said in agreement with Clary.

"They're starting to send threats to both me and him, they said, 'I'll put all your naked pictures all over the world, I'm going to ruin you and him if he doesn't send $20,000 to this bank account by Monday, and then $10,000 after that,'" Clary continued before directly addressing her parents. "You're trying to solicit me like I'm some kind of prostitute. I'm not. I'm your child."

"When I was 17, my parents were actually making me, trying to get me to take photos with him, take sexual videos with him, all kinds of stuff" — Clary

Both women adamantly claimed they have a loving relationship with Kelly and they were never held against their will. Clary insisted her parents met Kelly with hopes he would mentor her through a singing career. She claimed she did not want to sing, even attempting to kill herself as a "cry for help."

Per CBS News, King also spoke with Savage's parents Friday morning. After King's interview with Kelly, Savage called her parents in a check-in her mother referred to as "prison calls."

"I call them prison calls because I can tell that someone is listening to the calls. And she calls with a one, with a script. 'Momma, I told you I'm happy. I told you a million times I'm happy where I am.' And then her younger sister came in and said, 'Hey, Joycelyn,'" her mother, Jonjelyn Savage, said.

The parents said they had not seen their daughter in two years. Her father, Timothy Savage, denied ever meeting Kelly and said he only spoke to him once over the phone.

"Never in my entire life met Mr. Kelly. I've only talked to him one time on the phone," he said. "And that one time, you know what he told me? He said, 'You gonna have to wait to see your daughter. Trust the process.' How can you tell another father to trust the process, but you rappin' and ravin' on TV that you wanna see your kids, but you won't allow me to see my own daughter. How you think that makes me feel as a father?"

Kelly is back behind bars after appearing in court Wednesday afternoon for owing his former wife, Andrea Kelly, $190,000 in unpaid child support.
