R. Kelly is keeping himself busy while behind bars.
The singer is currently serving a 30-year sentence after being found guilty of federal racketeering and sex trafficking. However, the singer revealed that he has written 25 albums. During an interview on the “Inmate Tea With A&P” podcast, Kelly sang snippets of his songs “Step In The Name of Love” and “When A Woman’s Fed Up.”
While speaking to the podcast hosts, he said that his focus was on getting out. “Singing is a beautiful disease that’s incurable, that’s not gonna happen. [Me] stop singing. I don’t care where I’m at, I’m always singing. I’m always writing.”
He continued, “I’ve written 25 albums since I been in here so. Right now, I’m just working on getting out, getting back to what it is God gave me- my talents to do.” Kelly also added that he was using “patience as a tactic” while behind bars.
As the interview continued, Kelly spoke about the food conditions at the Federal Correctional Complex in Bunter, North Carolina, saying that it wasn’t good.
R. Kelly has not revealed when his new music will be released.
