R. Kelly may be behind bars for horrific crimes, but clearly some fans still can’t get enough of his singing talents.
On Friday (March 18), TikTok user jizzlezoldykk uploaded a video of the disgraced R&B legend singing for her over the phone from prison. Allegedly, the girl’s father is currently incarcerated in the same Brooklyn federal detention facility as R. Kelly and managed to get the 55-year-old singer on the phone.
“I wanted to ask you something,” she says in the clip. “Can you sing a song for me?” When R. Kelly asks “which one?,” she replies, “the ‘Love Letter.'”
Kellz then lets out a long sigh before delivering a brief rendition of his 2011 Love Letter title track. The girl and her friend can barely contain themselves as R. Kelly’s famous pipes come through the phone’s speakers.
“Thank you,” they scream through astonished laughs, to which the incarcerated superstar replies, “You’re welcome.”

The video has since racked up over 800,000 plays on TikTok and an additional two million-plus views on The Shade Room‘s Instagram.
As the clip went viral, speculation suggested R. Kelly — whose financial troubles are no secret — performed the song in exchange for money, but that notion was quickly shut down by jizzlezoldykk.
“R Kelly didn’t do anything for commissary!” she clarified in an Instagram Story. “I just simply asked him to sing and he said yes.”
R. Kelly Placed On Suicide Watch Following Guilty Verdict As Chicago Sex Trial Gets Date
In September 2021, R. Kelly was found guilty in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn of exploiting his celebrity status to sexually abuse women and children over two decades. He was convicted on all nine charges he was facing, including eight counts of sex trafficking and one count of racketeering.
The “Ignition” star is due to be sentenced on May 4 and faces 10 years to life in prison. He is also set to stand trial in Chicago in August on separate child sex images and obstruction charges.
Crazy how someone can get some love because of his talent even though he did some foul shit. We as human beings are really pieces of trash.
I’m not sure it’s that. As much as we all hate to hear it, EVERYBODY deserves love regardless of what they’ve done
No. They don’t. You sound like a pedophile that has to walk door to door in a neighborhood and introduce himself. Idiot.
no, idiot.
pedophiles don’t deserve to breathe, full stop. if you’re so sure of yourself why don’t you let your kids go visit him?
not defending pedos but the entire human history pre 1900 12-16 was marrying age 1850-1900 20% of people couldnt even read in the 50s rock stars was banging 15 year olds on the regular elvis married a 17 year old, i dont see kels as a pedo he belongs in prison if guilty no doubt its not me to decide if he guilty or not, but to me pedos are the ones out here kidnapping n rapin pre pubescent kids not teens neither is right but theres got to be levels to this ish, he wasnt trolling the streets offering candy and holding people against their will he just likes em a few years under the legal limit haha. not my cup of tea at all i like em 25+ 18-25 are pretty much retardo i cant imagine bothering with em younger than that but is there really a differnce between 17& 11 months & 18 or is it just some arbitrary number states came up with?
Not the first time unfortunately someone has fans. Ted Bundy had numerous female supporters despite him being a serial killer
They need to give him access to recording equipment in there like The Escorts. We’re missing out on a lot of good music unnecessarily. Some of those dudes were behind bars for murder, so don’t give me this holier than thou shit. Free Kels
Free R. Kelly. Fuck the cancel culture mob.
i can’t watch that one interview and think he is guilty.
STILL AT IT I SEE
KBJ will release him prayge
R.Kelly should be grateful. He got away with it for years while making millions and being revered as one of the best singers ever. He could be in jail for the rest of his time on Earth, and it still wouldn’t be enough after all he’s done. Also, what kind of weirdo wants their child to be serenaded by a guy with Kelly’s history?
Why y’all don’t just leave that young man alone all these women and their parents got away with not telling how they were praising him so glad to say my baby is with the hottest singer and getting money and as soon as someone says their filing a law suit now all of a sudden everyone starts weighing their options and start following the leader these people are just as sad if he’s really guilty on any of these crime’s then by the first person that came forward put the proof on the table and let justice prevail but not by all these hungry people that never had nothing and at the end of the day not realizing there’s no money gonna be left after all this is over so they prayed on this man’s life for a dollar I really hope all coming up stars and athletes or anyone getting a blessing from God please watch out for people like these clowns cause at the end of the day you might be in the same bind and I hope all of them receive 50 cent each cause they not worth a dollar I believe they may have had 50 minutes of fame and no sleep
