R. Kelly Says Prison Guards Knew He Was Going to Get His Ass Kicked
R. Kelly recently got his ass kicked in prison, and he now says everyone in the building knew it was coming, including the guards, to which I say “no s**t, Robert, it was self-evident that you were being set up from the beginning.”
TMZ reports Kelly was telling the guards the inmate who eventually assaulted him was gunning for him weeks before the attack happened.
The disgraced singer’s attorneys, Steven Greenberg and Nicole Blank Becker, tell TMZ … a lot of the animosity toward Kelly within the Metropolitan Correctional Center is due to some of the prison guards telling the inmates that they had to go on lockdown because of protests outside the facility for R. Kelly.
Kelly’s legal team suggests it’s strange for guards to make such announcements, and believe this caused the other prisoners to become upset with him.
A few days later … Kelly allegedly told a doctor from medical he wished guards would stop telling everyone he’s the reason for lockdowns because the other inmates were getting mad.
