R. Kelly Hospitalized After Overdose Amid Murder Plot Claims

R. Kelly is once again at the center of controversy—this time not for his music or past legal battles, but for his health and safety behind bars. According to his attorney, Beau Brindley, R. Kelly was rushed to Duke University Hospital on June 13, 2025 after experiencing a near-fatal overdose in solitary confinement at the Federal Correctional Institution in Butner, North Carolina. The emergency intervention followed reports that prison staff administered an "amount of medication that significantly exceeded a safe dose" to R. Kelly, sparking fears that his life was deliberately endangered.
