"When a Woman's Fed Up" is an R&B song by American singer R. Kelly from his 1998 double album, R. The song reached number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 5 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart. The video, directed by Kelly, features Kelly's protégée Sparkle as the woman who is fed up. The single and the video were released after Sparkle's debut single "Be Careful", a duet with R. Kelly, as a continuation of the story.
Music video
[edit]The music video is directed by R. Kelly.[1] The video was released after Sparkle's debut single "Be Careful" with Kelly and it is seen as a continued story to that video. This and "Be Careful" are two of Kelly's first solo-directed videos since "She's Got That Vibe" from Kelly's then-group Public Announcement in 1991, as he usually co-directs with others.
