The Game is calling for the release of Sean "Diddy" Combs and R. Kelly.
In footage TMZ published on Monday, December 1, the Compton native, born Jayceon Taylor, grabs the mic while celebrating his 46th birthday in Hollywood, Calif. and shocks the crowd with his unexpected speech. His rant is full of support for both imprisoned artists, along with comments about baby oil and "pee-pee."
"Since nobody else is going to say it, aye man, free Kelz," he tells the crowd as Kelly's "Bump N Grind" booms from the speakers. "Free that man. Free Diddy. Free all the freaky homies. I don't give a f**k."
Diddy and R. Kelly are currently sitting in prison after both once-superstar artists were convicted of sex-related crimes. The Bad Boy Records founder was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and sentenced to 50 months in prison. He was transferred from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey at the end of October. He's expected to be released in June 2028, but could be released earlier if he earns a presidential pardon from Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, R. Kelly isn't getting out of prison anytime soon. He was convicted in 2022 of three counts of child pornography-related charges and three child enticement charges in Chicago. He was also convicted of eight counts of sex trafficking and one count of racketeering in New York City in 2021. He was sentenced to 20 years in Illinois, which he's serving concurrently with his 30-year sentence in New York. He's reportedly scheduled to be released in 2045.
