R. Kelly Claims He’s Recorded 25 Albums Three Years Into a 30-Year Sentence for Sex Trafficking & Racketeering
In a shocking revelation, embattled singer-songwriter R. Kelly has revealed that he has recorded an astonishing 25 albums during his three-year incarceration at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City. This disclosure comes as a surprise, given that Kelly is serving a 30-year sentence for sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
The news emerged after a recent interview with a friend of Kelly’s, who claimed to have spoken with the R&B star about his prolific output while behind bars. According to reports, Kelly reportedly shared this information without providing any concrete evidence or previewing any of the unreleased material.
It is unclear how Kelly was able to record and produce such a large volume of music during his incarceration, given the constraints of prison life and the lack of access to professional recording studios. Many in the music industry are skeptical about the veracity of Kelly’s claim, questioning whether he has indeed produced so many albums while serving time for serious criminal offenses.
Kelly’s legal troubles began in 2019 when he was arrested and charged with multiple counts of sexual misconduct, including child pornography, grooming, and sexual exploitation. The allegations against him led to a wave of public outcry, with numerous artists, celebrities, and advocacy groups demanding justice for his victims.
The revelation about Kelly’s recording output has sparked concerns among fans, who are questioning the motivation behind such an astonishing amount of new material. Many have expressed doubts that Kelly could have created so many albums in such a short span without collaborating with other artists or producers, given his isolation from the music industry during his imprisonment.
Billboard will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
