R. Kelly may be in prison for the next several decades, but he has said that he’s not letting that stop him from making music.
In an interview with the podcast Inmate Tea with A&P released on Sunday (March 2), the singer and convicted sex trafficker said that he’s still composing and performing while in federal prison.
“Singing is a beautiful disease that’s uncurable,” he explained.
Kelly claimed that he is still writing songs at a rapid rate.
“I’m always singing, I’m always writing,” he said. “I’ve written like 25 albums since I’ve been in here.”
He also claimed that his legal fight isn’t over.
“I’m working on getting out,” he continued. “I’m using patience as a tactic.”
Kelly’s attorney Jean Bonjean concurred, telling TMZ: “Our appeals process has not come to an end. We will continue to fight for justice and for his freedom.”
According to Bureau of Prisons records, Kelly is set to be released from federal prison on December 21, 2045.

Last month, Kelly’s sex trafficking and racketeering convictions were upheld.
Kelly was found guilty in New York in 2021 of multiple charges and subsequently sentenced to 30 years in prison, but took the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals in an attempt to throw out the convictions.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected his appeal on February 12 after hearing arguments last March.
The three-judge panel overseeing the appeal concluded that the R&B star “exploited his fame to lure girls and young women into his grasp” for over 25 years.
“Evidence at trial showed that he would isolate them from friends and family, control nearly every aspect of their lives, and abuse them verbally, physically, and sexually,” they added.
Bonjean slammed the dismissal as “unprecedented” and intimated that they now plan to take the fight to the Supreme Court.
The singer’s appeal centered on the argument that evidence produced during the trial was inadequate, as well as numerous other technicalities such as biased jurors and laws being applied improperly.
The high court previously refused to hear a separate appeal from R. Kelly relating to his 2022 conviction in Chicago on child sex charges.

Free R. Kelly for real. Maybe Trump can pardon him. He deserved no more than 5-7 years tops. These girls chose him because he was rich and famous. Theres never any accountability for gold diggers.
Calling minors/kids gold diggers is insane. His own daughter said he molested her. No wonder why this site got so many Drizzy stand y’all trying legalize touching kids.
She’s told to say that. He did nothing wrong same with Bill Cosby who’s free now. You liberals and women are evil you won’t acknowledge that non j3w men aren’t the problem it’s then they’re the problem poverty, slavery, greed, wars, violence, powers it’s all them! Not R.Kelly, not Diddy, not Trump, it’s them look who runs the banks, sets the laws, runs the law firms, the venture capital firms, who runs the companies at the top and have the largest shares. Why in the Middle East one side keep getting money and the other is vilified.
Just shut the fxck up. Your comment says a lot about who you are when you’re downplaying the gravity of what he did.
@RealTalkOG. You went full retard. Never go full retard
I bet they all fye too!!
I bet they all fye too!!
He’s leakin em thru Lenny Williams!!! 😆
This is all because the j3ws don’t like seeing non zionists succeed. He did nothing wrong legal age back then was 14 and marriage in Massachusetts also 14 at that time not to mention Aaliyah’s uncle was fine with it. Notice he’s locked up not Drake or Jay-Z or Roman Polanski, Ezra Miller, Woody Allen, or Cher. Obama sold his first kid to Hunter.
he could sell his work
More victims to sing songs about. I’m good.
