I’ve Written 25 Album Since I’ve Been In Prison – R. Kelly
Talk about making the most of your time away.
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, 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, saying “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.
