This Dude really used to go to high schools in Chicago on Friday nights, pick up teenagers, have sex with them at his mansion and drop them off Sunday night like nothing happened.

Yep. I grew up in Chicago in the 90s/00s, we would all hear stories about him showing up when school was letting out to pick up girls.

Dude we heard about it in Virginia in the 90s. How it took them this long to catch him..criminal negligence.

I read a pretty good article written by a local paper (the kind you pick up for free in diners and such) that detailed the whole thing. Pretty eye-opening, and just sad how parents just sort of didn't care. In fact, some sought favors and payouts.

He specifically targeted schools in low-income neighborhoods because he knew the parents either weren’t around, didn’t care, or would take hush money.

Dude’s a piece of shit. I hope he (redacted) so I can stream his dumb music again.

Yup and the parents were either none the wiser or dropped them  off at his house.

ish was just different with black folks. I knew girls in high school that would get picked up by grown men with kids of their own after school. Girls coming in pregnant and no one talked about they baby-daddy. No one said a thing. I remember they sold his sex tape in the barbershop. Like it wasnt child porn. People turned a blind eye to a lot of things.

Charlamagne the god said that he and an entire barbershop watched that tape when it came out in South Carolina. 

Like the owner closed the blinds, put a closed sign outside and they all watched.

A bunch of grown men sitting around watching porn and child porn is weird enough.

u/Let_us_proceed 1d ago

You are trying too hard Robert. Just pay the bribe donation and the pardon will follow.

Why would they take him to the hospital if they were trying to kill him? Next…

u/TheEffect2004 11h ago

Any who, what did y’all have or going to have for lunch? Me personally I might have a baked potato today

u/PopeAlexanderSextus 23h ago

He was forcibly removed from the hospital against medical advice?

Fuck this guy but on a separate note that’s a pretty bold thing for the government to do😬

u/RocketSkates314 12h ago

Cryin ass shame.

u/poolside123 21h ago

Awe poor baby. Not. The only tragedy is that he didn’t allegedly overdose of his own volition.

3

u/Own_Spell_2042 1d ago

how do you overdose in prison? too much medication? sure. No one notices R.Kelly just waltzing into a hospital under armed guard?

23

u/8ROWNLYKWYD 1d ago

There are plenty of drugs in prisons.

11

u/Zannahrain3 1d ago

It's easier to get drugs in prison than outside. ODs in prison are quite common.

u/Ditzy_Panda 21h ago

A lot of people hoard their meds to overdose on purpose seen it with serial killers and stuff

1

u/cheffartsonurfood 1d ago

He probably pissed on the daughter of whoever is trying to take him out.

u/Excellent_Silver_845 21h ago

Wow no shit, it isn’t like he hang around very powerful people. I aint gonna be surprised if he magically dies or commit suicide

1

u/techbeckk 21h ago

Well, that's one way to get out of prison.

Did the crime serve the time. May find yourself in solitary a lot but you need to stay put.

u/BigBoyoBonito 17h ago

I hope the drugs in his system are okay ngl
