R. Kelly had been silent on Twitter for months, but returned late Tuesday with a special message.
The singer, who is currently plagued by legal issues and sexual misconduct allegations, tweeted a video of himself singing happy birthday to his daughter, Joann.
"Happy birthday baby, daddy love you," Kelly said in the video. "No matter what I love you so much. MWAH."
He was indicted last month on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse -- a class 2 felony -- involving four alleged victims.
