Teddy Riley has announced exciting news for R. Kelly fans by unveiling a new remix featuring the incarcerated singer. In a recent post, Riley shared a snippet of Kelly performing a rendition of Chris Brown’s popular track “It Depends,” recorded over what appears to be a phone call. The clip showcases Kelly affirming that it is indeed him singing while also giving a shoutout to Brown. This teaser was initially shared by Kelly’s label, Rockland Records, on January 8.
In his post, Riley hinted at more music coming from Kelly, stating, “Still the King of R&B Bar None!!!! Can’t wait for y’all to hear the new music!!! Til then teaser missiles will be dropping!!! It’s about that time for real music!!! #legendary #letsgo.” Brown himself responded to the original post with eye and fire emojis, indicating his enthusiasm for what Kelly has done with his song.
This news aligns with Kelly’s previous comments made last year on the “Inmate Tea with A&P” podcast, where he revealed that he has written 25 albums while serving his 30-year sentence for racketeering and sex trafficking. “Well, singing is a beautiful disease that’s incurable,” Kelly stated. “I’m always singing, I’m always writing… I’m using patience as a tactic right now.”
Currently, Kelly is serving a 30-year sentence after being convicted of multiple charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking, with his sentence expected to end in late 2045. Additionally, he faces further legal issues stemming from separate charges related to child pornography.
