R. Kelly’s fans have put nearly $28,000 into the disgraced R&B singer’s prison commissary account, his lawyers revealed at a hearing in federal court Wednesday.
That money, which was seized to pay the fines associated with his sex trafficking conviction, will likely dry up, defense attorney Jennifer Bonjean said.
“They were people making $100 here, $100 there,” Bonjean said at a restitution hearing before Judge Ann Donnelly in the Brooklyn courtroom, as Kelly watched via Zoom call, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit and a black mask.
