R Kelly Is Now Performing At Birthday Parties Over The Phone From Jail

R Kelly is just three years into a 31-year sentence for convictions related to sex trafficking, racketeering, child pornography and the enticement of minors, and claims he’s already written 25 albums in that time.

Aside from that, the R&B paedo has been keeping busy by singing happy birthday to his fans over the prison phone:

Best birthday ever? Have to wonder how something like that even gets arranged in the first place. Maybe that woman’s baby daddy is locked up with R Kelly and asked him to do it as a favour? Maybe he did it in exchange for a packet of ramen noodles?

Either way, what an unbelievable fall from grace. R Kelly was the biggest R&B star on the planet in the 90s, selling millions of records and performing to sold-out stadiums, and now he’s singing happy birthday over the prison phone to 50-year-old women dressed like it’s their sweet 16. Absolutely tragic stuff.

Just a few weeks ago, R Kelly gave an interview to The Inmate Tea With A&P podcast where he belted out some classic tunes for listeners over the phone:

R. Kelly was recently a guest on the podcast Inmate Tea With A&P. During the interview, the disgraced crooner sang “When a Woman’s Fed Up” and “Step in the Name of Love,” and revealed he has written 25 albums since being locked up. Kelly is currently serving 30 years in prison… pic.twitter.com/mmaNsrwK1w
