According to a report by The New York Post, Kelly’s attorney, Beau B. Brindley, claimed that the Bureau of Prisons staff had intentionally given him too much medication, which caused him to overdose and be transferred to a nearby hospital.
It is unclear what “medication” the “Bump n’ Grind” singer was taking at the time.

On June 13th, Kelly purportedly felt “faint” and “dizzy” and “started to see black spots in his vision.” He then allegedly “tried to get up, but fell to the ground,” before he “crawled to the door of the cell and lost consciousness.”
The outlet reported that while he was in the ambulance, he allegedly heard a prison officer say: “This is going to open a whole new can of worms.” In addition, his lawyer claimed that Kelly allegedly learned at the hospital that he had been administered “an overdose quantity of his medications that threatened his life.”
Brindley told reporters that doctors “discovered blood clots” in both of the singer’s “legs and lungs,” but he was allegedly removed from the hospital before he could receive treatment.

Brindley further alleged that Kelly “was denied the surgery he needs to clear blood clots in his lungs that threaten his life,” and that he was returned to solitary confinement at the prison.
“It is undeniable. Mr. Kelly’s life is in jeopardy right now because the Bureau of Prisons denied him necessary surgery to clear clots from his lungs,” Bridley went on to say. “He could die from this condition, and they are letting it happen.”

In September 2022, a Chicago jury found Kelly guilty of child sex offenses, and he was given a 20-year prison sentence. However, the judge only gave Kelly an extra year in prison. The remaining 19 years were served concurrently in Kelly’s original 30-year sentence.
