Kanye West is continuing his wild social media antics by calling for the release of convicted child sex offender, R. Kelly to be released from prison.
On X, West reposted a viral clip of the disgraced R&B legend singing happy birthday to a fan over the phone from prison.
As well as reposting the clip, West simply wrote: “FREE R KELLY.”
It’s not the first time West has shouted out his “To The World” collaborator either.

On Vultures track “Carnival”, which went to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, West rapped: “Anybody pissed off, gotta make ’em drink the urine / Now I’m Ye-Kelly, bitch, now, I’m Bill Cosby, bitch / Now, I’m Puff Daddy rich, that’s #MeToo me rich.”
Shortly afterwards, West was seen playing Kelly’s music during a private DJ set.
In the past, Ye has been accused of defending Kelly, as well as Michael Jackson who had also battled accusations of child sex abuse before his death.
