R. Kelly may already be in jail for the heinous acts he committed in the past, but some fans couldn't get enough of his singing prowess.
Last week, a TikTok fan shared a video of the disgraced artist performing a mini concert for her over the phone from jail.
According to reports, the girl's father is detained in the same federal detention center in Brooklyn as the "I Believe I Can Fly" singer and managed to convince him to perform over the phone.
In the video, a fan says. "I had a question for you. "Would you be willing to sing for me?" R. Kelly then says, "Which one?"
"The 'Love Letter,'" she replied.
The 55-year-old musician then lets out a big sigh before delivering a short performance of his 2011 title tune "Love Letter."
As the singer's famed pipes came over the phone's speakers, the fan and her buddy couldn't stop themselves from laughing.
"Thank you," they cried, laughing heartily, to which the jailed star answered, "You're welcome."
The video quickly went viral, garnering almost 900,000 views on TikTok and an extra two million views on The Shade Room.
When the video went viral on social media, rumors swirled that the R&B artist had played the song for money, but a fan quickly debunked that theory.
In her Instagram Story, she stated, "R Kelly did nothing for commissary." I just asked him to sing, and he agreed."
R. Kelly is presently incarcerated after being convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking late last year, and his financial woes are well known.
