R. Kelly has been working with his legal team for the last several weeks to be granted an early release from prison as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. Unfortunately for him, his appeals have been unsuccessful to date. Other famed recording artists, like Tekashi 6ix9ine, are expected to be released any day now because of the virus but Kelly will likely continue to fear for his life behind bars.
50 Cent has been a central station for R. Kelly memes as the disgraced singer fights for his freedom, and his most recent April Fool's Day joke was possibly the most savage one yet.
Sharing a fake tweet headline from TMZ, 50 Cent laughed that R. Kelly had contracted a spin-off version of COVID-19.
"BREAKING: R Kelly has tested positive for SHEWASNT-19," writes the meme shared by 50 Cent.
Digging at the singer over the countless allegations that he's sexually abused underaged girls, this probably could not have gotten any more disrespectful.
Fif added his own comments in the caption.
"Damn boy, if it wasn’t for bad luck, you wouldn’t have luck," chuckled the rapper, making fun of the current state of R. Kelly's life.
April Fool's Day was celebrated on a more minor scale this year, but people like Lil Nas X still turned it out with a hilarious prank on his fanbase. Check out how he welcomed April 1 here.
