If you liked R. Kelly's 33-chapter saga about a man having to hide in a closet to avoid a jealous husband, you could be in for a real treat. And if you didn't like it, well, tough. You'll undoubtedly watch anyway, to see how much crazier things can get.

We speak, of course, of some potential new chapters, which could be coming our way if Apple Music executive Jimmy Iovine gets his way. The news was reported by Bloomberg Businessweek on Thursday. The article stated that Iovine has talked to Warner Bros. Television about a potential sequel to the famous (and frequently ridiculed) rap opera. It's long been reported that Kellz has plenty of material to keep the story going.

The R. Kelly note takes up just a couple of sentences in a much larger piece about Apple Music's ambitious plans for video content. "We have the freedom, because it’s Apple, to make one show, three shows, see what works, see what doesn’t work until it feels good," Iovine explained. The streaming service, which is used by 20 million subscribers, is said to be working on as many as 10 original shows by the end of 2017.

Also noteworthy is that Puff Daddy has opted to use Apple (in partnership with Live Nation) to premiere his upcoming documentary appropriately called Can't Stop, Won't Stop: A Bad Boy Story. Apple will hold the rights to that flick for at least the next year. It seems that they're going all-out to catch Spotify, and to counteract the declining numbers from iTunes sales.

According to Billboard, you can watch Puffy's doc starting on June 25.
