R. Kelly will have his first of two trials in New York and some in the area are showing their support, however, that doesn’t please everyone. Joe Budden saw a plane flying a banner in support of the jailed R&B superstar and captured it for social media.
“Look at this, only in New Jersey,” Budden said. “Are you fucking kidding me, buddy? This is what you waste your good, hard-earned money on to see? You gotta be shitting me.”
The plane’s message read “R. Kelly was set up for monetary gain!”
Meanwhile, an associate of R. Kelly has owned up to setting an SUV on fire as an intimidation tactic against one of his accusers. The New York Post details Michael Williams pleaded guilty to one case of arson after burning the SUV rented by the father of Azriel Clary.
By accepting the plea deal, Williams will have the witness tampering charges dropped against him. His sentencing is now a minimum of 60 months and a max of 71 months.
