R Kelly's Dangerous Prison Mix-Up: Overdose and Alleged Murder Plot Uncovered

Disgraced singer R Kelly was rushed to hospital after overdosing on medication in prison

R Kelly's Shocking Ordeal: Singer Claims Prison Staff Tried to Kill Him - But Is It Just a Bid for Freedom?

In a stunning twist, disgraced R&B star R Kelly has been rushed to hospital after allegedly overdosing on medication given to him by prison staff, according to his attorneys. The shocking incident has raised serious questions about the treatment of the singer behind bars and whether he's being targeted due to his high-profile status.

Kelly, who's serving a 30-year sentence for racketeering and sex trafficking, was taken to Duke University Hospital last week after reporting feeling faint, dizzy, and seeing black spots in his vision. His lawyers claim that prison guards deliberately gave him an "overdose quantity" of his anxiety medication, which could have killed him.

But what's behind this alleged attempt on Kelly's life? His attorneys believe it's a retaliatory move by prison staff after he filed claims that they hatched an elaborate plot to kill him. In fact, Kelly was placed in solitary confinement just days before the overdose, where he was given his regular dose of anxiety medication.

This latest development is just the tip of the iceberg for Kelly, who's been complaining about mistreatment at the hands of prison officials. His lawyers claim that he hasn't received necessary treatment for blood clots and has been denied surgery despite doctors finding multiple blood clots in his legs that will require further surgery.

But Kelly's attorneys aren't stopping there. They're also alleging that three high-ranking prison officials hatched a plot to have him killed by a white supremacist gang, citing a sworn declaration from terminally ill inmate Mikeal Glenn Stine who claims he was approached by staff to carry out the hit.

Stine alleged that prison officials offered him the opportunity to escape and live out his final months as a "free man" before his terminal illness takes its toll. He even claimed that staff pressured him to carry out the killing in March, telling him: "You need to do what you came here for."

The singer's attorneys have requested a pardon from President Trump, citing Kelly's lack of access to justice due to the alleged corruption within the prison system. They're also claiming that they're engaged in conversations with multiple persons close to the White House and President Trump.

But is Kelly just trying to get out of his sex crimes sentence? Prosecutors have slammed his attempt at freedom as "deeply unserious" and "repugnant." And with Kelly's history of abuse, it's hard not to wonder if he's using this latest drama to try and gain sympathy and get a reduced sentence.

The Bureau of Prisons has declined to comment on the matter, citing pending litigation. But one thing is certain - R Kelly's ordeal has raised serious questions about the treatment of inmates in our prison system and whether justice is being served.

Stay tuned for further updates on this shocking saga as it continues to unfold. Will R Kelly get the justice he seeks? Only time will tell.
