Prince Kaybee praises R Kelly's songwriting amid ongoing abuse debate
R Kelly's talent is recognised by many, including South African DJ Prince Kaybee, who recently expressed his admiration for Kelly's songwriting abilities on X. This accolade, while highlighting his tremendous contributions over a decades-long career, struggles to overshadow an array of severe allegations that have tainted his public image. R Kelly , the controversial yet undeniably influential figure in the R&B music scene, has recently been ranked number 9 on Billboard's list of the Best R&B Singers of All Time. Throughout his career, spanning over three decades, Kelly has sold more than 75 million records worldwide, solidifying his position as one of the best-selling music artists in history. Renowned for his vocal prowess and songwriting capabilities, some of his most iconic hits include 'I Believe I Can Fly', 'Bump n' Grind', 'Your Body's Callin'' and 'Ignition (Remix)'. He has earned numerous accolades, including three Grammy Awards for 'I Believe I Can Fly', the theme song for the 1996 blockbuster film 'Space Jam'. Despite these musical achievements, Kelly's story is inextricably linked with allegations of misconduct and abuse that have emerged in recent years, affecting the enjoyment of his music by many. Currently imprisoned at the Federal Correctional Institute in Butner, North Carolina, Kelly is serving time after being convicted of sex trafficking and racketeering in 2021. Following an additional conviction in 2022 for producing child sexual abuse images and enticement of minors, his legacy continues to spark polarised opinions. Even amid this turmoil, his talent is recognised by many, including South African DJ Prince Kaybee, who recently expressed his admiration for Kelly's songwriting abilities on X. 'I know he is f#cked up, but there is NO ONE, 'dead or alive' that's going to be a better R&B songwriter or singer than R. Kelly,' Kaybee stated, igniting a wave of mixed reactions from fans and followers alike.

R Kelly lawyers allege he was target of ‘overdose' plot by prison guards
Singer R. Kelly appears during a hearing at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse on September 17, 2019 in Chicago. --AFP Lawyers for R Kelly said in recent court filings that the criminally convicted R&B singer suffered an 'overdose' of medication at the hands of prison officials. Kelly is currently serving a 30-year-prison sentence at a facility in North Carolina. He was found guilty of myriad crimes including federal racketeering and sex trafficking of minors. His lawyers alleged in a flurry of filings Monday and Tuesday that Kelly was in solitary confinement when prison staff instructed him to take an 'overdose quantity of medication' on June 12. The 58-year-old became 'faint' and 'dizzy' by the next morning, the filing alleges. 'Mr Kelly tried to get up, but fell to the ground. He crawled to the door of the cell and lost consciousness,' his attorneys said. The court papers say Kelly was taken in an ambulance to Duke University Hospital and that he was under treatment for two days. Queried by AFP, the Bureau of Prisons declined to comment. 'For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not discuss the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including medical and health-related issues. Additionally, the Bureau of Prisons does not comment on pending litigation or matters that are the subject of legal proceedings,' the office said in a statement. Kelly's lawyers had previously filed an emergency motion for release to home detention, saying that the once-famous artist was the target of a murder plot orchestrated by prison officials. In opposing the request, government attorneys called the accusations 'fanciful' and 'theatrical.' The request 'makes a mockery of the harm suffered by Kelly's victims,' the Chicago federal lawyers said, adding that it wasn't filed in the correct court with the jurisdiction to even entertain the accusations. Kelly was convicted in 2021 in New York federal court for using an enterprise to systematically recruit and traffic teenagers and women for sex. The singer known for hits including 'I Believe I Can Fly' was then convicted one year later in Chicago federal court in a separate trial, in which jurors found him guilty of producing child pornography and enticement of a minor. He is currently serving the New York prison sentence, and will serve almost all of the Chicago sentence concurrently.—AFP
