Is Donald Trump R. Kelly’s Only Path To Freedom?

R. Kelly’s Lawyers Beg Trump for Help

This is like a bad Lifetime series. R. Kelly is looking toward Donald Trump—yes, that Donald Trump—to come to his rescue. YUP! You saw the news story on Tuesday (June 10), but I’m about to double down on this.

EXCLUSIVE: R. Kelly Demands Release—Says Aryan Brotherhood Wants Him Dead

Kelly and his legal team claim there’s a wild conspiracy involving corrupt federal prosecutors, jealous exes and shady prison guards. Put a member of the Aryan Brotherhood on top and you have the perfect show. This skinhead (in my imagination, he’s bald) was presented with a proposal to off the singer. And he would be allowed to escape jail. What B.I.G. say? You know that’s not right.

Kelly’s lead attorney, Beau Brindley, is tossing the Hail Mary to frumpy Trumpy. Everybody has seen that he likes helping criminally active Black men, including Lil Wayne, Larry Hoover, A$AP Rocky, Harry-O and Kodak Black. What do you think? Does Kelly have a chance with Trump? I don’t see that he ever helps anybody who has weird charges…like being a political prisoner. But, Kelly has crimes of a sexual nature and that could present a problem.

Do you think it is time for R. Kelly to be released?

Kelly was convicted in New York and Chicago on charges ranging from racketeering to child pornography. He isn’t eligible for release until 2045. That is a strong 20 more years. Something tells me Trump will pass on this. Per his time, this matter is so dire that he shouldn’t be in there another minute. I am thinking they are just raking in the money as he has no shot at getting out.

My recommendation is to get down with the brothers in whatever set you can and hunker down for the long haul.

Eminem Asked Mariah Carey To Be His Mom In Iconic Film

Filed under Entertainment News

Eminem once pitched Mariah Carey for the role of his troubled mother in 8 Mile, according to longtime music executive Damion “Damizza” Young.

Damizza revealed the unexpected casting idea during a podcast appearance last week.

Speaking on the TFU Podcast, Damizza claimed the Detroit rapper reached out to him directly with a vision for Carey to portray Jimmy “B-Rabbit” Smith’s mother in the 2002 semi-autobiographical Hip-Hop drama.

At the time, Mariah Carey was only four years older than Eminem, but he reportedly believed she was the right fit for the emotionally complex role.

“So I go to Mariah, and I’m like, ‘Look, Eminem wants to meet you,’ and she’s like, ‘No,’” Damizza recalled, describing his first attempt to connect the two artists.

According to Damizza, the conversation happened while he was advising Carey against accepting a part in the critically panned film Glitter.

Once he clarified that Eminem was proposing a film role—not a duet—Carey reconsidered.

The producer said he initially tried to talk Eminem out of the idea.

“I pleaded with him not to offer Mariah the movie role,” Damizza said, but he eventually agreed to arrange a call between the two.

During that phone conversation, Damizza claimed Eminem told Carey directly, “I want you to play my mother.”

“She did not like that s**t at all,” Damizza said. “*Her insecurities kicked in big time.*”

The part of B-Rabbit’s alcoholic mother ultimately went to Kim Basinger, whose performance was praised for its raw portrayal of a broken parent in a struggling Detroit household.

Released in 2002, 8 Mile became a box office success, earning Eminem an Academy Award for Best Original Song for “Lose Yourself.”

The film remains a defining moment in his career and a staple in Hip-Hop cinema.
