R. Kelly’s lawyer says the singer overdosed on medication given by prison staff and was hospitalized for two days, alleging a possible assassination attempt tied to a white supremacist gang. The incident was reportedly caught on camera.
Kelly, 58, is serving 30 years for sex crimes and is also being denied surgery for blood clots, according to his legal team.
Prosecutors have dismissed his release efforts as “repugnant” and say the judge has no authority to grant it. A hearing is set for Friday, and Kelly’s team is also seeking a pardon from Donald Trump.
R. Kelly suffered an ‘overdose’ of medications given to him by prison staff, his lawyers say.
