R&B singer R. Kelly was recently hospitalized after an alleged overdose of medication, which his lawyers say was given to him by prison staff. This incident comes as his legal team claims there is a detailed assassination plan against the singer and continues to push for a presidential pardon from Donald Trump. Federal prosecutors, however, have strongly criticized Kelly’s attempts to be released, calling them “deeply unserious” and “repugnant.”
The events that led to Kelly’s hospitalization started when he was placed in solitary confinement. As found by All Hip Hop, Kelly’s lawyers says the singer had his anxiety medication with him, but that same day, prison staff supposedly entered his cell and told him to take more medication, which he reportedly did. This exchange was said to have been recorded on camera. Just two days later, Kelly reported feeling extremely unwell, with symptoms including dizziness, faintness, and black spots in his vision before passing out.
