Legacy
During the tour in support of Born into the 90's, Kelly came up with the concept for his album 12 Play. In the breakdown of "Honey Love", he addressed the audience and told them about "a dream where I made love to Mary J. Blige", which became the song "12 Play".

R. Kelly mentions "Honey Love" in a verse of "I Wish": "'Honey Love' goes platinum and y'all ass come around / But y'all don't wanna raise the roof until my shit is going down."
