R Kelly looks to be the next celebrity hoping to gain a President Donald Trump pardon. The disgraced R&B star is currently serving a 30-year prison sentence for multiple sex crimes. The I Wish singer is once again pleading with the justice system. Only this time, it’s not about overturning his convictions. It is about saving his life.
Kelly is asking to be released from prison and placed under house arrest after allegedly learning he’s the target of a murder plot behind bars. He believes he is no longer safe at the Federal Correctional Institution in Butner, North Carolina.
With an immediate and dangerous threat of violence reportedly looming. R. Kelly is begging for a relocation. Instead of prison, he hopes his plea will be heard and quickly granted, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence on house arrest.
R Kelly’s legal team claims the threats against the singer are more than just gossip. The alleged plot has triggered a full-blown panic. They insist that he’s now a marked man and that remaining in prison could have deadly consequences, according to the New York Post.
Kelly’s lawyers state the plea stems from serious safety concerns, while the request for house arrest is being painted as a matter of life and death. They’re urging the court to step in and offer an alternative before the situation turns fatal.
If granted house arrest, Kelly would still be confined. No more shared cells, just strict monitoring in a private residence. However, most agree that if R. Kelly believes he can avoid threats and violence on the outside, it is unlikely. In fact, they believe he would be an even bigger target outside of prison walls.
R. Kelly Pulling A Diddy, Calls On President Trump For Pardon
Critics argue that Kelly’s request sounds more like a convenient way to dodge the consequences of his actions than a true safety concern. But his team is standing firm, insisting that the threats are real and that his life is at stake.
“Anyone found guilty of child SA crimes will be in danger while in prison. Man up and do the 31 big ones,” one commenter writes.
“We are fighting to keep Mr. Kelly alive and expose the corruption,” Brindley went on. “We call upon President Trump to help us in this endeavor as he is the only person who has shown the courage and willingness to stand up to these people and actually stop the corruption in its tracks.”
“A Trump pardon, what’s the going price? Adds another. “Pulling a Diddy. If Trump pardons either one of these two clowns it will not go over well for all involved.”
For now, R. Kelly’s life hangs in the balance. Whether the court takes his claims seriously or sees them as a last-ditch effort to escape the consequences of his crimes, his fight for freedom has taken a dark new turn.
What started as a fall from fame has now spiraled into a desperate battle for survival. As the drama unfolds. One thing is clear: the chaos surrounding R. Kelly is far from over.
