Boosie Badazz is pissed off ever since the judge hit R. Kelly with 30 years in federal prison. Remember, the singer was found guilty on a slew of sex crimes, but Boosie insists none of them warrants such a stiff sentence.
R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison in a New York federal court on Wednesday (June 29) after being convicted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges last September. Judge Ann Donnelly’s sentence was welcomed by his victims, with one woman who was sexually abused by the R&B singer when she was 17 years old calling it a “special but hard day.” But not everyone is happy with the decision.
The always outspoken (if not controversial) Boosie Badazz took to social media on Thursday (June 30) to share his dismay at R. Kelly’s 30-year sentence, which theoretically could see him spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Chicago native R. Kelly is suing the Brookly detention centre where he’s being held, as he feels that he’s been subjected to “cruel and unusual punishment.”
R. Kelly filed his suit against MDC Brooklyn, claiming that the detention centre placed him on suicide watch after his sentencing. The recording artist’s lawyers argue that his 8th Amendment rights are being violated as “he is not suicidal and expressly told MDC officials that he was not suicidal and had no thoughts of harming himself or others.”
R. Kelly claims that he’s been staying in a single cell with no bed rails, showers, shaving, or toilet paper allowed. He allegedly has to eat meals with his hands and has been completely shut off from loved ones.
Singer R. Kellywas sentenced to 30 years in prison in a Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday after being convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking in September 2021. US District Judge Ann Donnelly sentenced Kelly after she and the court heard statements from the victims.
She also ordered him to pay a $100,000 fine, The Associated Press reports. The singer, who has been jailed since 2019, faces separate charges of child pornography and obstruction of justice in a federal case in Chicago, where a trial is set for August 1.
R. Kelly will likely be in prison until he’s 85 years old for sexually abusing fans, including some who were minors.
Last year R. Kelly was found guilty of racketeering in his federal sex trafficking case, and now his sentencing for the case is quickly approaching. Prosecutors have filed documents suggesting the time they recommend he serve behind bars for the crime.
According to TMZ, prosecutors have filed documents recommending the amount of time he should be sentenced, and they are saying that she should get more than 25 years in prison. They believe his actions are more than enough to have him locked up “in excess of 25 years.”
In the documents, prosecutors made mention of his relationship with the late songstress Aaliyah, claiming that he “began to sexually abuse her when she was just 12 or 13 years old.” They also mentioned the other inappropriate acts that he has been accused of throughout the years including the “physical and psychological” abuse of women.
The Associated Press further detailed that prosecutors wrote in the filings that the troubled singer used his “fame, money and popularity” to “prey upon children and young women for his own sexual gratification.”
They added,
“He continued his crimes and avoided punishment for them for almost 30 years and must now be held to account.”
R. Kelly’s attorneys argued in return that he should be given the maximum of at least 17 years in prison under federal sentencing guidelines.
Many of the women that have accused R. Kelly throughout the years were also a part of the Lifetime docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly,” which was released back in 2019. Kelly was later arrested that same year, and he has been in jail since. Some of his accusers featured in the series also testified against him in court last year before he was officially found guilty.
R. Kelly is scheduled to be sentenced on June 29th.
R. Kelly posted a message to his fans after he was found guilty on all racketeering charges in his trial in a federal Brooklyn court this week.
“To all my fans and supporters I love you all and thank you for all the support,” he wrote on social media. “Today’s verdict was disappointing and I will continue to prove my innocence and fight for my freedom. #notguilty.”
Kelly will be sentenced in May and is facing up to life in prison.
His attorney also reacted to the news, saying they would be appealing the decision.
“Of course Mr. Kelly is disappointed,” said Deveraux Cannick. “He was not anticipating this verdict because based on the evidence, why should he anticipate this verdict? You saw witness after witness giving three, four, five different versions as to what they said happened here.”
He continued, “You didn’t get to see what we saw in terms of the discovery. You didn’t get to see all the inconsistencies,. We said in our summation that the government cherry-picked their version that they thought would support the continuation of the narrative. Why would he expect this verdict given all the inconsistencies that we saw?”
Recently, R. Kelly’s lawyer asked the court to reconsider letting him out of jail while he waits for his trials in New York and Illinois, but a judge ruled against that.
The issues that R. Kelly has faced while being in jail continue to be told through his lawyers, who are now saying Kelly was beaten while locked up, and no one in the facility where he’s being held even “raised a finger” to stop the attack from going down.
Legal documents filed by Kelly’s lawyers this past Friday say surveillance footage from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago shows that one inmate “roamed a great distance … before carrying out that act, without any opposition.” As a result of the inmate being able to roam, Kelly received “significant physical and psychological injuries.”
Michael Leonard, one of Kelly’s lawyers, said, “An unresolved issue remains as to whether MCC personnel encouraged, and then allowed, a beating of Mr. Kelly to take place. That alone merits an evidentiary hearing.”
Boosie Badazz starts out this clip by sharing his thoughts on August Alsina saying he got permission from Will Smith to be in a relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith. Boosie explained that he thinks Will and Jada have an open marriage and he added that he’d love to “entangle” with Jada. Boosie went on to state that no one could go against R. Kelly in a Verzuz battle, including Michael Jackson, Prince, and Stevie Wonder.
R. Kelly claims alleged sexual abuse victims are lying.
In an explosive interview, R. Kelly is breaking his silence about the sexual abuse charges that landed him in jail last month. The R&B singer spoke with “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King for nearly 80 minutes Tuesday. He said all the women now accusing him of physical and sexual abuse are lying.
Chicago prosecutors have charged Kelly with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Three of the four alleged victims were underage when the suspected crimes happened. Kelly has pleaded not guilty. But sources tell CBS News federal and state authorities in at least two states, New York and Illinois, are now investigating a variety of allegations.
