R. Kelly’s prison nightmare just took a shocking turn. The embattled singer, currently serving a 30-year sentence for sex crimes, faces more than just incarceration — according to explosive court documents obtained exclusively by TMZ, his life is reportedly in immediate danger behind bars.
His legal team has filed an emergency motion demanding his immediate release after uncovering a terrifying murder-for-hire plot involving prison officials and Aryan Brotherhood gang members inside the North Carolina penitentiary where he is held.
The Deadly Plot: Murder for Freedom?
The singer’s attorneys presented sworn statements from a terminally ill inmate and Aryan Brotherhood leader, Mikeal Glenn Stine, who claims prison officials offered him freedom — and a chance to escape — in exchange for killing R. Kelly.
“I was offered my freedom if I killed R. Kelly,” Stine’s statement reads, detailing how authorities planned to cover up the murder, including burying evidence and letting him slip away afterward.
According to Stine, the plan was to murder Kelly, pin the crime on him, then transfer Stine with a clean record — allowing him to escape the prison system and spend his remaining days free.
Whistleblower Moment: Stine Approaches Kelly
In a startling twist, Stine claims he came face-to-face with R. Kelly in prison in March, revealing the hit order to the singer personally.
But in a dramatic last-minute change of heart, Stine says he backed out and instead reported the plot, signaling his willingness to cooperate fully, including taking a polygraph test and testifying against those involved.
This bold move, however, seems to have escalated the danger.
Retaliation Brewing: Another Hit Ordered
Kelly’s legal team warns that following Stine’s flip, another Aryan Brotherhood member has been ordered to kill both Kelly and Stine.
The prison is reportedly teeming with gang affiliates, intensifying the threat.
“The situation is volatile, and the officials tasked with protecting Kelly may themselves be complicit,” one source told TMZ.
R. Kelly’s Ongoing Legal Battle
Alongside this urgent motion, Kelly has also taken his fight to the U.S. Supreme Court, filing separate documents seeking a review of his case.
His lawyers argue that home confinement would not only safeguard his life but also allow him to pursue his music career from a safer environment.
What This Means for R. Kelly
This revelation adds another layer to the troubled life of the once-famous “Pied Piper of R&B.”
With mounting fears for his safety, Kelly’s situation inside prison looks increasingly precarious, raising serious questions about prison management and inmate safety.
