 With a career that has spanned over 20 years, he has been surrounded by, sung to, and wrote songs about many beautiful women.

But even R. Kelly probably has not encountered many ladies as striking as Irina Shayk.

The 47-year-old R&B crooner can be seen in the latest issue of V Magazine striking a pose with the beautiful Russian model for a photoshoot and accompanying interview.

The pictorial appeared hot and heavy as Shayk, 28, posed draped all over the Ignition singer, including one snap where she was completely disrobed with her back to the camera.

She also showed off her considerable cleavage while posing perched on his shoulders in one shot. 

For fans of the musician, the sexual nature of the photo set should come as no surprise as his lyrics and live performances have never been subtle.

The Bump & Grind singer said: 'I do what I have to do to excite the crowd. I do whatever it takes to raise eyebrows and to win.'

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model isn't the only leading lady to work with the singer recently - his collaboration with Lady Gaga is currently all over the radio.

Do What U Want is a duet between the two musicians from Gaga's third studio album Artpop.

The I Believe I Can Fly singer said that it has been amazing to collaborate and work with the Bad Romance musician.

'It's an honor to be working with greatness. When I say that I say it with all my heart, because she is great on stage and off. She is so talented,' said Kelly.

In 2005, the RNB star began releasing a rap opera consisting of 33 chapters (so far) that he narrates through a tangled web of sex, lies, and deceit.

The tracks gained quite a cult following that has resulted in live performances and DVDs in addition to recorded music.

Despite the latest chapters from the series being released in 2012, Kelly insists that the saga is forever.

He told V Magazine: 'When I first started writing Trapped In The Closet, I didn't know myself what it was. I had one chapter and I had no hook. It never turned into a song, it was a cliff-hanger and one chapter led to another, and next thing you know I have all these chapters and now I have a leash on it.

'I have 57 more chapters that I haven't released yet that are going to be released. This thing is forever.'
