Dec. 21 2023, Published 6:00 a.m. ET
R. Kelly's getting more than coal for Christmas this year. The R&B singer-turned-convicted sex creep prison move to FCI Butner Medium I was probably the best thing that happened to him in 2023 — because his new facility in North Carolina is going all out for the holidays! RadarOnline.com obtained R. Kelly's Christmas Day menu and can reveal that Ol' Saint Nick delivered.
A spokesperson for FCI-I told this outlet exclusively that the I Believe I Can Fly singer, 56, will chow down on his choice of cornish hen or soy chicken with rice pilaf. We can report that the side dishes are where it's at.
Not only will R. Kelly and his prison pals be eating roast, but they will also get the same traditional sides they'd have at home if they weren't in lockup.
The embattled musician will get mashed potatoes and gravy, glazed carrots, cornbread dressing, cream of broccoli, and sweet potatoes. R. Kelly will also get dinner rolls to pair with his meal.
He must have been a good boy behind bars because he'll also get dessert.
RadarOnline.com is told that prisoners at the medium-security federal correctional institution will end their Christmas Day with pecan pie. But Santa Claus isn't done there.
The prison's representative revealed that FCI Butner Medium I's staff has several holiday activities planned for the inmates.
R. Kelly, who is serving 22 more years in prison for sex-related crimes, can play games like BINGO. Hopefully, his aim is good because the incarcerated star can participate in a bean bag or ping pong toss — and compete in a 9-ball tournament.
They will be able to snack on popcorn in between dinner and the recreational activities.
In April, R. Kelly was transferred to the N. Carolina facility from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago, which didn't serve prisoners turkey on Thanksgiving last year.
