R. Kelly appeals to Trump to commute 31-year prison sentence

By GhanaSummary NewsroomNigeria

Kelly has formally appealed to United States President Donald Trump to commute his 31-year federal prison sentence after filing a request for executive clemency with the U.

The 59-year-old singer is serving his sentence at a federal prison in North Carolina and is not expected to be released until January 2046.

In 2025, Brindley filed an emergency motion seeking Kelly’s transfer to home detention, alleging that prison officials had conspired with a terminally ill inmate to kill the singer in exchange for an early release.
