R. Kelly suffers overdose, alleges Aryan Brotherhood is responsible
Chicago's R. Kelly was rushed to Duke University Hospital after overdosing in prison. This has raised questions about the singer's safety behind bars while Kelly and his legal team claim the Aryan Brotherhood was behind the attempt on his life. His legal team said that Kelly collapsed in his cell at Butner Medium Correctional Institution on 12 June. This happened after the singer and songwriter was allegedly instructed by prison staff to consume additional medication. Kelly spent two days in the hospital, where he learnt that he had ingested a life-threatening amount of this additional medication. A few days ago, R. Kelly made headlines when he claimed he had received death threats from the Aryan Brotherhood while he was in prison. This came on the back of another celebrity convict, Tory Lanez, being stabbed 14 times in the prison where he was being held. Lanez survived and has since been moved to a different facility. Kelly's attorneys claim his poisoning is part of this larger plot to kill him. They claim this incident to be a murder for hire involving the Aryan Brotherhood. Mikeal Glenn Stine is a terminally ill inmate who alerted Kelly to this scheme to see him erased. Stine said prison officials offered him freedom in exchange for conducting this assassination. Another inmate was approached to ensure the job would be carried out when Stine declined the offer. Kelly's legal team has filed an emergency motion which would see him released and confined to his home. The argument cites his life being in jeopardy because of his incarceration, and his team has also cited misconduct by prison officials involving the lack of necessary medical treatment and leaking confidential legal documentation. Federal prosecutors responded by rubbishing Kelly's claims and calling these attempts at adjusting the terms of his incarceration 'the behaviour of an abuser and a master manipulator.' Prosecutors are of the impression that he simply wants to duck out on his 30-year sentence for sex trafficking and racketeering. The court has yet to deliver a ruling on this matter. These allegations have raised concerns around inmate safety and corruption in jails in America, especially as it pertains to high-profile convicts. It is not clear if Kelly will be released, but this has renewed his legal woes. Let us know by leaving a comment below or sending a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 11.

Palace to prison: How did Nandipha meet Thabo Bester?
Nandipha Magudumana's appearance in court alongside her co-accused Thabo Bester has left many South Africans wondering what went wrong for the former doctor. Known for her glamorous appearance, successful businesses, perfect family life, and beautiful homes, many believe that the woman in the dock is a shadow of her former self. Nandipha and Bester are currently facing charges of orchestrating his 2022 prison escape, defrauding the public, and violating multiple bodies. They appeared at the Free State High Court for a pre-trial hearing, which has been postponed to 19 September. While Thabo Bester appeared as suave as his charming personality, Nandipha Magudumana looked gaunt and run-down in the courtroom. Bester – has has been previously convicted of murder, rape and fraud – wore a black stylish coat and a pair of trendy spectacles. Nandipha – who donned red lipstick and a hoodie – displayed hollow cheeks and expressionless eyes. Her appearance quickly became a trending topic on social media. Entertainment reporter Phil Mphela posted on X: 'A whole DOCTOR, wasted her life on this. Thabo Bester is gaining weight while she is withering away'. Businesswoman and PR exec Farah Fortune agreed, posting: 'Look at Nandipha. Next time you wanna do stupid s**t to please a man'. Fellow X user @BedworthTimes added: ' Look at the glow-up turned glow-down. Sis has aged fast. Prison will humble even the baddest baddie. Not for the faint-hearted, shame!' According to GroundUp – which broke the news of Thabo Bester's prison escape – Nandipha Maguumana began visiting the convict in prison in 2017. At the time, Bester was serving three concurrent life sentences, which he was handed down in 2011 and 2012. They were for two counts of rape, one count of murder, and armed robbery with aggravating circumstances. 'She visited him several times over the coming years. There was even one booking on Valentine's Day', claimed journalist Daniel Steyn in Showmax docuseries Tracking Thabo Bester. Thabo Bester and his lover Dr Nandipha reunited in the dock. Image: Twitter @LindA_MniSii/@pmcafrica However, in her sworn statement since her arrest, Nandipha claims she met Thabo Bester at Wits University in 2006, where he allegedly studied theology. The Department of Home Affairs has since revealed that Bester only has a grade 7 education. Nandipha also claims that she and Bester began dating in 2017, and he paid lobola for her in 2020. In 2022, weeks after Bester's escape, Nandipha approached the Free State High Court, claiming she was Bester's 'customary wife'. The doctor had demanded to collect his 'body' after the prison fire, where he had faked his death. Meanwhile, Nandipha married her lawful husband, Mkhuseli Magudumana – also a doctor – in 2013. The former couple shares two daughters together: Ayana and Aziza. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .
