R&B singer and hitmaker R Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison for sex trafficking, a whopping 3x the amount his attorneys asked for. Eastern District of New York prosecutors said he used his celebrity status to have a “network of people at his disposal to target girls, boys and young women for his own sexual gratification.” Victims of his have since sounded off saying they don’t feel the time is enough, but one person who doesn’t exactly agree is rapper Boosie Badazz.
Boosie has spoken out about the case on Twitter saying, “He didn’t kill anyone, aggravated rape anyone. “People getting 15/20 years for murder n he get 30 [exclamation points],” he wrote. “Yes he was wrong af for manipulating young girls n sexing them [sad face emoji] but he didn’t kill anyone, aggravated rape anyone. N no blame on the parents who knew everything. Resentence this man [exclamation points] College professors get probation for this sh*t.”

He continued, “Get this man some help n some jail time but don’t give him a death sentence, 30 years [exclamation points] Maybe he can one get out one day n warn these young girls about older predators n make a difference ? but 30 years like Come on world [exclamation points]”

Now at first reaction, this really is a third rail politics topic that the average person would just be disgusted by and not go near. Now let’s take into consideration that Boosie is someone who has actually served time and has first hand experience with people who both have unfair sentences or at least have the appearance. If we’re supposed to be in a time of discussing criminal justice policy and reform, then this is a topic to be on the table, no? Considering people have done less for murder, oerhaps this warrants at minimum an explanation of the sentending process. Take a look at his thoughts and tell us what you think below.
