Was R. Kelly Rushed to the Hospital in June 2025? Update

The former record producer and singer is behind bars after being convicted of multiple charges related to child sexual abuse and racketeering.

He is serving a combined prison sentence of 31 years after being convicted of nine counts of “a superseding indictment charging him with racketeering predicated on criminal conduct including sexual exploitation of children, forced labor and Mann Act violations involving the coercion and transportation of women and girls in interstate commerce to engage in illegal sexual activity,” according to the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York and Homeland Security Investigations. AllHipHop reported on June 16, 2025, that attorney Beau B. Brindley claimed Kelly had overdosed in solitary confinement after allegedly being given extra medication by prison employees. “That means that, within two days of the filing of his motion, Bureau of Prisons officials administered an amount of medication that significantly exceeded a safe dose and caused Mr. Kelly to overdose, putting his life in jeopardy,” Brindley said, according to the outlet.
