R. Kelly Suing Over Confiscated Commissary


Two years ago R. Kelly's prison commissary, which contained $28k, was confiscated and used as restitution for one of his victims [click here if you missed that]. 

R is still fighting to get his commissary back...

According to court documents obtained by HipHopDX, a hearing on the matter [was] scheduled for Monday (March 18), with Assistant United States Attorney Kayla Bensing representing the United States.
In March 2023, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled Heather Williams was entitled to access the disgraced singer’s label fund — which was reportedly valued at $1.5 million in 2020, according to Billboard — before Midwest Commercial Funding, a property manager that won its own separate $3.5 million ruling against Kelly over unpaid rent on a Chicago studio.
The following August, U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly signed an order demanding that Kelly and his label, Universal Music Group, turn over more than $500,000 in royalties. The order, which was signed on Wednesday (August 23), previously demanded that the “Ignition” singer turn over $28,000, which was in his prison canteen.
“The defendant is appealing his conviction and the government’s seizure of his substantial Bureau of Prisons commissary account to satisfy the financial penalties imposed in the case,” read the announcement accompanying the livestream link, which also confirmed that each side will have ten minutes to argue their point.

Whatever happened to the baby he was supposed to have with that one brainwashed chick? She should have had it by now. What about the other lying heauxes from last year that claimed they were pregnant? Zion Williamson's crazy porn side chick and old a z z Superhead. It's been over 9 months for all of them. Post their birth announcements, Snitch.

That commissary was probably his way of keeping some of those inmates off his back.
