R. Kelly’s sisters have claimed racism played a part in the disgraced 90s singer’s sentencing to 30 years in prison after he was found guilty of sexually abusing women, boys and girls for decades.
The 55-year-old was convicted by a federal jury in New York in September last year and sentenced in June.
Judge Ann Donnelly said he had used his “minions” to “lure young fans into your orbit”, and there were parts of his victims' testimony she would "never forget".
