 LAWYERS ALLEGE R. KELLY OVERDOSED, MURDER PLOT


Following an incident in which R&B superstar R. Kelly was hospitalized for two days, his lawyers alleged prison officials gave him an overdose of his medications and plotted to get him cancelled by an inmate.


Kelly's legal team alleged that prison officials placed the singer in solitary confinement before giving him an overdose of his sleep and anxiety medications on June 12, 2025.


"He started to see black spots in his vision," his team said. "Mr. Kelly tried to get up, but fell to the ground. He crawled to the door of the cell and lost consciousness."


Correctional medical staff rushed the 58-year-old by ambulance to Duke University Hospital when they could not help him, but he was allegedly evacuated after two days of treatment against medical advice - and returned to jail.


Robert Kelly is serving a 30-year sentence for racketeering and sex trafficking since 2022. He is serving his sentence in the Federal Correctional Institute facility in Butner, North Carolina.
