WATCH: R. Kelly Gets Personal In ?Trapped In The Closet? Behind The Scenes (Plus: New Photos!)

R. Kelly is taking his multi-chapter, possibly never-ending R&B hip-hopera, Trapped in the Closet, so super-seriously; the least we can do is return the deliciously campy favor. Watch R. Kelly transform - via prosthetics and a fat suit - into "Randolph," a la Tyler Perry, in a new behind-the-scenes look at Trapped in the Closet, which hits the airwaves on November 23 on IFC.

R.Kellys' Midgets, Pimps, Cheating Lovers, etc. Are His Madeas

Kelly talk seriously about modeling the character of Randolph on the men in his life, while getting fake old man cheeks applied over his stubble in this making-of video, that it hit me: Trapped In The Closet's multitude of ex-cons, down-low lovers, pimps, midgets, and secret twins are his Madeas.

"I felt like I wanted to do these characters, because I felt personal, I felt like I know these guys," he says. "These guys were friends of mine, or uncles of mine, or my grandfather, and I wanted to steal the spirit of those people."
