R. Kelly Sends Condolences to Tyrese After His Mother’s Death

Tyrese received some comforting words from R. Kelly.
On Friday night, the Fast & Furious star took to Instagram to share a message he received from the incarcerated Kelly. The post featured a text message screenshot in which the disgraced R&B singer offered condolences over the recent death of Tyrese’s mother.
“[…] Hey Lil Bro,” the message began. “My Condolences To You About Mom… She Is In A Better Place With My Mom & They Both Smiling Down On Us.. I Pray For You & Keep It Going On Love. I know it a lot having to deal with this in the limelight but keep ya head up ~Rob~.”
Tyrese said he “broke down” for 45 minutes after receiving the message, and went on to declare Kelly the “R&B king.”
“Selfishly I wish they could sneak a protools rig and a mic in your jail cell so that you can unload all of those ideas,” he wrote in the caption, “’cause I know you don’t write, all of your hits have been freestyled off the top…… But that’s just me.”
Tyrese’s mother, Priscilla Murray, died last month after a weeks-long battle with pneumonia and COVID-19. The actor/singer announced the tragic news on Instagram.
Kelly was found guilty of racketeering and sex crime charges back in 2021. He faces 10 years to life in prison when he’s sentenced this spring.
