Lawyer Claims R. Kelly’s Prison Overdose Was Murder Plot—He’s Rushed to Hospital
Okay, I’m buzzing on triple espresso and you need to hear this—R. Kelly just got airlifted out of prison after collapsing, and his lawyer is shouting “murder plot!” like it’s opening night on Broadway. According to an emergency court filing obtained by People Magazine, Kelly was found slumped in his cell late last month, reportedly after ingesting a cocktail of prescribed psychiatric meds. Prison officials insist it was a simple medical episode, but attorney Steven Greenberg—who first blew the whistle back in 2019—says this was anything but accidental.
Greenberg’s motion, filed in federal court in Chicago, alleges that certain guards orchestrated the overdose to silence Kelly for good. He points to suspicious timing—Kelly’s public statements about prison conditions and potential snitching dynamics—and claims unnamed correctional staff slipped extra sedatives into his routine dose. It’s a wild twist worthy of a legal thriller. Rolling Stone reports the Department of Justice has quietly launched an inquiry into the allegations, interviewing prison staff and reviewing video surveillance.
Meanwhile, prison spokespeople tell the Chicago Sun-Times they found Kelly unresponsive during a routine round and immediately called medical personnel, who stabilized him before transferring him to a local hospital. A spokesperson for the facility says “there is no evidence of foul play” and that Kelly’s meds were “strictly monitored.” But Greenberg counters that prison logs were altered and key records go missing whenever Kelly makes waves—like when he recently demanded fresh legal counsel to appeal his federal convictions.
It’s hard to know who to believe, but two things are certain: Kelly’s health is on the line, and this case just got infinitely more tangled. Family members are scrambling for details—his sister JoAnn released a statement telling fans “we’re praying for Rob’s swift recovery and full transparency.” In the meantime, Kelly remains under 24/7 medical watch, and prosecutors say they’ll be evaluating any new evidence.
So what’s next? Will DOJ investigators uncover a conspiracy in the lockup? Might Kelly reverse his appeal strategy to spotlight his treatment behind bars? I’m practically vibrating with anticipation here. I swear, I could talk about this all day, but my latte’s going cold—so stay tuned, because the next round of courtroom drama is about to begin. Whew, that was a lot, but you know I’ve got more where that came from!
