In a dramatic turn of events, R. Kelly is making headlines again after his legal team revealed that the infamous singer was rushed to the hospital following a suspected overdose while behind bars.
The 58-year-old R&B star, currently serving time at a federal facility in Butner, North Carolina, was reported to have collapsed last Friday. After paramedics arrived, he was swiftly transported to Duke University Hospital for urgent medical care.
New court documents filed by Kelly’s attorneys detail alarming circumstances surrounding his sudden health crisis. They assert that Kelly was placed in solitary confinement on June 10 and given medication with specific instructions to take it.
However, a few days later, on June 13, Kelly reportedly woke up feeling extremely faint and dizzy, claiming he also began to see dark spots. According to the filing, he attempted to get up but ultimately collapsed after crawling to the cell door.
Once at the hospital, devastating news awaited him: his lawyers claim he received an overdose of his medication, endangering his life. The ordeal required him to stay hospitalized for two days, as the gravity of the situation began to unfold.
In a chilling moment during his ambulance ride, Kelly allegedly overheard a prison officer remark, "This is going to open a whole new can of worms,” hinting at potential fallout from this incident.
In the wake of these developments, Kelly’s lawyers filed an emergency motion suggesting that three Bureau of Prisons officials had conspired to have him harmed by another inmate, leading them to request that he be transferred to home detention.
Yet, federal prosecutors vehemently oppose this request. They described Kelly as a "prolific child molester" who has never shown remorse for his actions. They argued that his plea for home detention is a mockery of the suffering endured by his victims.
As the tense legal battle continues, one thing is clear: R. Kelly remains at the center of controversy, and his future hangs in the balance as new revelations continue to emerge.
