By prison staff? Why did they have to specify it? Hes getting ready to sue the prison and get money and get moved
He feels to emboldened from this Diddy trial. We all remember what you did to Aaliyah!!!
Awesome….hope he doesn't make it
I believe R. Kelly.
I have never been to prison though I have been administered medication two ways in jail.
Consensually, though still forced, through my cell doors-
and without consent when I took a bite out of a blue gel pill in the center of the morning cornbread clay loaf…
My body cramped up like an accordion inside, especially my abdomen I saw flashes of color, and after drinking a lot of water/ running it to calm me… They shut the pipeline completely off!
If prison is the punishment for his crimes… trust me- being there is already enougb.
Please don't kill him.
Bro
Kelly is one of my most beloved gospel artist on. Planet 🌎 I forever love and adore bro Kelly so in the name of the ALMIGHTY GOD y'all release him. What in the name of the ALMIGHTY GOD y'all better not no one and I. Mean no hurt
him. Peace out!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😃😃😃😃😃✌️✌️✌️✌️
😮 omg did he try to kill.hemself.
Oh my goodness
It's ashamed what going on with the celebrities
RKELLY STOP!! WE YOUR FANS STILL ♥️ YOU AND SUPPORT YOU!! YOU STILL THE KING OF RNB! DON'T" OD" WHAT EVER YOU DID ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE YOU! THAT'S BETWEEN YOU AND GOD
"I'm seeing dots."🕃 🥴
Good on him
😮😮😢
Oh no! Anyway, how’s the weather treating you guys? It’s a bit hot over here but the air quality is finally nice.
Straight up, R. Kelly is a child molester who profited from it. Let's not forget that.
Attention seeker 😅
Sicko Loser 😈 😠 Rott in Prison
The voice-over 😂😂😂
Oh well
C'mon arrrrah.
Let him Go
Police helped let him out
🎶 He believes he can fly, he believes he can touch the sky, he thinks about it every night and day, spreads his wings and flys away 🎶 (on meds)
Overdosed on medication given to him by prison staff…well that doesn’t add up.
That's Diddy doing
R Kelly probably staged the entire thing hoping he’d get out. Made sure to conveniently toss in “white supremacist” secret plot & filed days before a drug overdose? Set up to look like “covert murder in solitary “ 😂
I wonder why I don’t feel bad for him. He’s not good people you brought yourself to this position.
You mean at 54 years of age i am just now learning that Solitary Confinement is a CHOICE!!! 🤯🤣
Like Kelly wasn't capable of hoarding medication. 🤦♀️
Just everyone stay blessed amen!
Does he know something? Was he in the closet at a Diddy Party? 🤫🫣😳
OH NO! NOT THE RACE CARD AGAIN! 🙉
He needs to be set free as prince Andrew is free and be neighbors
FREE RKELLY AND DIDDY
lol… it seems as if the men are more angry than the women… in my experience… that’s because they are/were doing the same things As RKelly.
Get well soon 😢
Yeah right….he's a druggie in prison & the OD was due to his drug abuse.
Wouldn’t doubt if someone isn’t trying to clean up a mess related to Diddy. 🤷🏽♂️
Who cares🥴🤮☠️
Get well soon r Kelly and stay out of jail please
❤❤❤❤❤ Leave him alone! Why are the parents still free?
Prisoners have rights too
He's been in there for a while and if ninjas ain't cool with him by now is for a reason! Just saying 🤷🏻♀️
Why this happen to him 😢
He’s getting suicided …
Boy bye 🙄
😢
Nah PD sent it
Wicked ppll God is the judge and only God knows what really happened. The man is in prison serving his time. WHAT rights does prison Warden and prison guards have to harm him and unalive Kelly. Leave the. MAN alone. Get well soon Robert Kelly and I pray that God protect you from those white supremacist people in the prison building. I pray in Jesus name that you give your life to Jesus and ask for forgiveness. I pray that you repent from your sins and let this be a lesson learned in Jesus name I pray. Amen ❤❤❤
