R. Kelly singing to one fan live from his prison cell. The fan joyfully posted to her personal
TikTok account and the Internet is subsequently bashing and praising her for it.
The video shows the fan on speaker phone, requesting the imprisoned R&B singer to sing a song for her. She says, “I wanted to ask you something. Can you sing a song for me?” He responds, “what do you want?” She promptly requests his single, “Love Letter.” R. Kelly belts out a deep groan and sigh and the fan starts the song for him, “did you get my call?”
R. Kelly begins singing the popular hook as the two girls in the video laugh with glee and give thanks to the singer.
