R. Kelly Superfan Arrested for Threatening the Prosecutor


Last year Grammy Award winning singer / songwriter R. Kelly was convicted on sex trafficking charges in New York [click here if you missed that]. 

Now an R. Kelly superfan has been arrested after using Youtube to organize a band of supporters called the 'Kellz Steppers' to storm the federal prosecutors’ offices in Brooklyn...

Authorities announced charges Monday against a man accused of threatening three women prosecutors who worked to convict singer R. Kelly. Christopher Gunn pointed out the building where the victims worked, according to the criminal complaint.
“I want y’all to get real familiar with this building I’m about to pull up and show to you. …Imma show you exactly where we’re gonna be going. And we’re gonna get real familiar with this building, and this building is gonna get real familiar with the enterprise, also known as Kellz Steppers…. We know who is going to stick to everything that I told you, which is that if Kellz goes down, everybody’s going down,” he allegedly said in a video dated Oct. 4, 2021. He was referencing Kelly (real name Robert Sylvester Kelly) as “Kellz.”
The post was titled “Get Real Familiar,” authorities said. The prosecutors in question were only identified through the pseudonyms Jane Doe 1, Jane Doe 2, and Jane Doe 3. As federal authorities described it, Gunn “knowingly and intentionally transmitted in interstate and foreign commerce communications containing threats to injure the person of another, to wit, threats that would result in the death or seriously bodily injury” of the prosecutors.
“That’s where they at,” Gunn allegedly said. “That’s where they work at…We’re going to storm they office. We’re gonna storm they office. We going to storm [Jane Doe-1], [Jane Doe-2], and [Jane Doe-3]. We’re going to storm they office.” He allegedly said, “[I]f you ain’t got the stomach for the shit we bout to do, I’m asking that you just bail out.”
