For those that don’t know, R&B/Soul singer D’Angelo was arrested over the weekend in Greenwich Village for soliciting sex from an undercover cop. Not only that, he was also caught with over $12,000 cash in his glove compartment.

The net has been on fire regarding D’Angelo’s recent charges, but his publicist just sent out a statement from his manager trying to make sense of the situation:

“We know there is a lot of speculation in regard to the arrest of D’Angelo in New York City this past weekend. We would like his fans and the public at large to know that D’Angelo has pled not guilty — and is contesting the allegations made against him. Also know that, he is in good health and extremely excited about his forthcoming new album.

D’Angelo would like to personally thank all of his fans for the outpouring of concern, and appreciates if all would allow the American justice system to resolve the matter before jumping to any conclusions.”

Ummm…yeah that’s really not saying anything.

Its a shame that with all of the people wondering about D’Angelo and when he’s going to hop back into music, this is what he is getting the most attention for. When will these stars learn?
