R. Kelly's Life in Prison Revealed

 

R. Kelly has been accused of numerous heinous crimes since the '90s... but it wasn't until 2019 that the singer was placed behind bars to await a trial that, as of November 2020, has yet to happen. Here's what life is like for R. Kelly in prison.

On July 11th, 2019, R. Kelly was arrested while walking his dog in Chicago and slapped with a 13-count indictment. According to ABC News, 

"[The charges included] exploitation of children, conspiracy to defraud the United States [and] coercion."

He entered a plea of not guilty but remained behind bars at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago to await his trial, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Lil Wayne Facing 10 Years In Prison

 

Lil Wayne is facing 10 years in prison after the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida charged him with 1 count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon. This stems from a December 2019 incident where feds searched Wayne's private jet in Miami and found a gun and ammunition. 

Lil Wayne's attorney, Howard Srebnick, commented on the situation back in December, stating that the rapper was "cleared " to leave the airport after the search, despite drugs and guns being found aboard. His team has not provided a new statement in regards to the federal charges, but Wayne is expected to appear in court next month. 

What Kind Of Deal Is R. Kelly Former Manager Trying To Make?

 

A former manager for singer R. Kelly, who faces criminal charges of his own, is in the middle of plea negotiations, prosecutors revealed at a status conference Friday.

Donnell Russell was indicted in October on one count of interstate stalking for allegedly contacting an anonymous "Jane Doe" victim in R. Kelly's case "with the intent to harass and intimidate" her and her family, according to the indictment filed in the Eastern District of New York.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge in October, court documents show. Russell was also charged by criminal complaint in the Southern District of New York with threatening physical harm by interstate communication and conspiracy to threaten physical harm after Russell allegedly placed a phone call to a Manhattan theater to prevent the December 4, 2018 screening of "Surviving R. Kelly," according to a criminal complaint. He allegedly told the theater there was an armed person inside, prepared to begin shooting, prosecutors said. His attorney in that case, Annalisa Miron, said Russell pleaded not guilty to those charges.

Did The Guards Try To Set R. Kelly Up In Jail?

 

A video of R. Kelly being punched by another inmate in jail shows that not one guard “raised a finger” to help him until the attack was well underway, his lawyers claim in a new court filing.

Kelly, who was being held in Chicago’s Metropolitan Correctional Center on federal sex abuse charges, was assaulted in August by Jeremiah Farmer, who had punched the singer repeatedly to get media attention for himself, CNN reported.

The assault left R Kelly with “significant physical and psychological injuries,” the filing said. His lawyers have not released the video.

According to the DoJ, Aaron Barnes-Burpo and Walker Washington both pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit wire fraud, a charge that could land both up to two decades in prison.

Feds Are Saying R. Kelly Paid Someone To Attack Him

Feds are up to no good again in the R. Kelly case. After recent news that R. Kelly was attacked while behind bars, the Feds are saying the prisoners was paid through a unknown source for the attack to happen.

Doug Anton, an attorney for Kelly, told CNN that the singer's legal team had been advised by the US Attorney's Office that the singer was on his bed in his cell Tuesday at Chicago's Metropolitan Correctional Center when another inmate came in and started to punch him.

Guards at the federal facility stopped the assault almost immediately, according to Anton. Anton said that R. Kelly did not sustain any injuries and that X-rays did not reveal any fractures.

Would Jay-Z Be Better At Business or Law?

The new indictment adds several allegations of abuse involving a victim referred to only as Jane Doe 5. Two of the new counts carry mandatory minimum sentences of 10 years in prison if convicted, according to prosecutors.

What If Michael Jackson Was Alive, What Would You Want To Ask Him

What would you do or say if Michael Jackson was still alive today? If Michael Jackson was alive today, would he still be making music, and still be the king of pop?

At the time of his death, Jackson was still a huge draw, particularly in Europe. He was still an active performer, and his last album, Invincible, had been put out in 2001, eight years before he died. It was a huge seller around the world at the time.

And his health was not good-had he not died, he in all likelihood might have been too ill to continue to be an active touring, working musician. Touring and public appearances are a lot of work, and Jackson just wasn’t well. And as we now know, his This is It tour was controversial because the sponsors of that tour basically put pressure on Jackson to commit to a heavy schedule while knowing he wasn’t in very good health.
