R. Kelly & Accused Subway Shooter Frank James Form Friendship In Brooklyn Jail

Accused Subway Shooter Frank James Makes Friend With Disgraced R&B Singer R. Kelly

Accused Brooklyn subway shooter Frank James has made at least one new friend since his arrest for spraying 33 bullets on a crowded New York City train: Disgraced R&B superstar R. Kelly.

Three sources told the Daily News about the behind bars bromance between the two men held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, where Kelly is awaiting sentencing for sex trafficking and James is awaiting trial for the April 12 mass shooting on the N train.

“Both do get along. They actually sit together and eat together,” said one jailhouse source, as reported by NYDailyNews.

“They talk about TV shows. They go out to rec together. They’re buds,” said another source familiar with the situation.

The two men are in a unit at the troubled lockup that also houses government cooperators, since both are high-risk inmates, sources confirmed. James has a bunkmate, while Kelly has his own room, a source said.

Despite their uncertain futures — both could spend the rest of their lives in prison — James and Kelly manage to find some solace behind bars.

In his few weeks in the jail, James has not been much of a complainer and drinks copious amounts of coffee, said one of the sources. Kelly, meanwhile, uses his music to lift spirits, numerous sources said.
