When we are not responsible in our personal lives Irony can bring deep horrors when the bill comes due. R Kelly has a well documented recent history that isnt all too suprising when looking back at the insane experiences he shared through his music in the past. While this is a pretty extreme example of irony, It tells a deeper message of real world situations we as humans get ourselves into with equally as insane outcomes. Irony is an incredibly powerful thing in life but when we handle life as it comes with honor and integrity, you change the chances of how that irony will be revealed.

The figurative language used is Hyperbole. He uses the closest as a place of hiding and uses hyperbole to exaggerate the heat of the moment.
He also uses Personification on the closet to show a way of keeping things secret, but that closet door could open at any time revealing all the secrets

Irony is displayed heavily in "Trapped in the Closet" by R Kelly. In the beginning of the song it is heavily implied that he is having an affair with another woman:

"I'm stretchin' and yawnin'
In a bed that don't belong to me
And a voice yells, "Good morning, darlin", from the bathroom
Then she comes out and kisses me
And to my surprise, she ain't you"

He thinks everything is all good, but he quickly finds out the severity of actions done in the dark. You could anticipate that maybe his actual wife maybe finds out or possibly a disagreement between him and the mistress could occur BUT no one could anticipate the ironic twist, not even poor R Kelly. This comes in the next verse

"Here I am, quickly tryin' to put on my clothes
Searching for my car keys
Tryin' to get on up out the door
Then she stretched her hands in front of it
Said, "You can't go this way"
Looked at her, like she was crazy
Said, "Woman move out my way"
Said, "I got a wife at home"
She said, "Please don't go out there"
"Lady, I've got to get home"
She said, her husband was comin' up the stairs

This is extremely ironic because R Kelly tries to quite literally have his cake and eat it too but finds out quickly that he was being played in the same way this entire time. Life hits him fast as he must now hide from potential catastrophe because the mistresses' husband has arrived home while R Kelly is still there.
