R Kelly Fans Protest For His Release In Chicago

Fans Held ‘Free R Kelly’ Protest In Chicago

While it seems the world is against R Kelly, there are still some fans that won’t cease advocating for his release. They recently took to the streets of Chicago, protesting for the singer’s freedom.

On July 11, 2019, R Kelly was arrested on federal charges alleging sex crimes and obstruction of justice. Kelly faces a total of 18 federal counts, including child pornography, kidnapping and forced labor, as of July 12, 2019.

About a month ago, Chicago residents marched for R Kelly in viral video. The protesters of about 20 – 30 people consisting of White and Blacks can be seen with placards chanting; “free R Kelly”.

Yesterday, Michael Rapaport shared a video of an R. Kelly protest taking place in Brooklyn. A banner reading, “Justice For R. Kelly ‘Due Process'” was held by two protesters while the man leading the protest sent his message loud and clear through a megaphone.

“Sony Records is the real pedophiles,” he declared in the microphone. The video was initially posted on producer Marco Polo’s Instagram Story.

“Real time in BROOKLYN right now like currently. A Free R.Kelly Rally in Fort Greene Park. This is NOT A DRILL,” Rapaport captioned the clip.
