James Mason is a wanted man after he threatened to murder Joycelyn Savage's father.

In May of last year, R. Kelly's former manager James Mason had allegedly threatened to murder the father of Joycelyn Savage, one of the singer's accusers. Savage is one of the women that lived in R. Kelly's house as part of an alleged "sex cult." The accusations against Mason resurfaced recently after a police report was filed against Kellz' current manager for a very similar incident. Don Russell had reportedly been sending threatening messages to both of Savage's parents. Now, James Mason is in big trouble because according to CNN, a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

According to the news outlet, the warrant was issued over the summer when the accusations against Kelly were just starting to rile up the world. The incident in question stems from May 2018 when Mason texted Timothy Savage the following: "I'm gonna do harm to you and your family, when I see you I'm gonna get you, I'm going to fucking kill you." The case was originally presented to a judge in July before a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Joycelyn's father claims to have not seen his daughter in over two years, citing R. Kelly as the reason. He has seemingly been keeping Savage from making any contact with the outside world.

This adds just another layer to this increasingly messed up story. What are your thoughts?
