In a stunning new development in the ongoing saga of disgraced R&B megastar R. Kelly, his attorneys have filed an emergency motion alleging that prison officials partnered with Aryan Brotherhood gang members to try to kill him in a federal penitentiary.
In that case, it’s safe to say that Kelly will probably never survive his current serving time in FCI Butner in North Carolina, where he’s being held on a 30-year sentence after not one. Still, two confirmed the prison reportedly hired white supremacists to put a hit out on the singer, based on documents obtained.

Their dark report came from attorney Beau B. Brindley. He claims that one such inmate, a terminal cancer patient and self-professed Aryan Brotherhood member named Mikeal Glenn Stine, had been deliberately moved into Kelly’s prison with one job: assassinate the R&B artist. But in a bizarre twist, Stine supposedly changed his mind and confessed the plot to Kelly.
“He was ready to go ahead and execute Appro while he was handcuffed,” Brindley explained. “But when he came close to Kelly, he made a different decision and told him the truth. That he was sent to kill him and that his life was threatened. And that the directive came from prison workers.”
He told police that he had been guilty of numerous murders in the past as well but that he did not want his last act while on Earth to have been him killing someone else. Instead, he revealed what he claims to be a decades-old practice of corruption and mistreatment inside the Bureau of Prisons (BOP).
A second Aryan Brotherhood member, David Keith Harris, has also spoken, claiming guards at the BOP approached him and told him to poison Kelly, too. Both men said they would publicly testify under oath and also take polygraphs.
“This means two convicted white supremacists were ordered by officers who had sworn to protect inmates to kill off one of those inmates,” Brindley said. “And now, the one left holding the bag has a target on his back.
The filing also accuses prison officials and federal prosecutors of violating Kelly’s constitutional rights. An officer, Tawana Ingraham, broke the law by accessing Kelly’s private communications, which she then handed over to a government informant named Larry McGee, who would publicly confess online to using the materials to try to influence witnesses, according to the filing.
And yet more alarming, another inmate, Kishan Modugumudi, says that a federal prosecutor solicited him to steal Kelly’s legal mail. He signed a statement and got a warning from a prison official that his life was in grave danger, but the very next day, Kelly signed another form saying he wanted to decline protective custody and return to his cell.
Facing the prospect of spending the rest of his life in prison and freshly tainted by overwhelming government misconduct allegations, Kelly’s attorneys are asking he be released to home confinement as he awaits his appeal.
For now, R. Kelly continues to be held in custody. But if these allegations are to be believed, his story could shift from a matter of justice to a struggle to survive.
