R. Kelly may be behind bars for horrific crimes, but clearly some fans still can’t get enough of his singing talents.
On Friday (March 18), TikTok user jizzlezoldykk uploaded a video of the disgraced R&B legend singing for her over the phone from prison. Allegedly, the girl’s father is currently incarcerated in the same Brooklyn federal detention facility as R. Kelly and managed to get the 55-year-old singer on the phone.
“I wanted to ask you something,” she says in the clip. “Can you sing a song for me?” When R. Kelly asks “which one?,” she replies, “the ‘Love Letter.'”
Kellz then lets out a long sigh before delivering a brief rendition of his 2011 Love Letter title track. The girl and her friend can barely contain themselves as R. Kelly’s famous pipes come through the phone’s speakers.

“Thank you,” they scream through astonished laughs, to which the incarcerated superstar replies, “You’re welcome.”

As the clip went viral, speculation suggested R. Kelly — whose financial troubles are no secret — performed the song in exchange for money, but that notion was quickly shut down by jizzlezoldykk.
“R Kelly didn’t do anything for commissary!” she clarified in an Instagram Story. “I just simply asked him to sing and he said yes.”
