R. Kelly's Nephew Shot, Jamie Foxx Preps Dec. Release + New Videos From Kanye & Electrik Red
Posted on November 7, 2008 2:53 PM
R. Kelly's 15-year-old nephew Brandon Kelly was shot in the chest after a robbery attempt in Chicago on Thursday. Brandon Kelly was shot around 4 p.m. after Chicago police say he attempted to rob a barbershop.
Brandon is the son of R. Kelly's brother Carey Kelly, who spoke out publicly on The Wendy Wiliams Experience about his superstar brother's illiteracy and taste for young ladies, as well as his attempt to bribe Carey to say he was the man pictured on the sex tape that sent Kells to trial.
"I had to hurry up and run over here to find out what's going on, because I called and didn't know what was going on," Carey Kelly told Fox News Chicago. "The bullet went through is right side, and it went through his lungs. His lungs had collapsed and [the bullet] also pierced his liver. He's heavily medicated...for the pain," Kelly continued. "They urged me not to talk about anything that happened while the investigation is going on."
Brandon Kelly is currently in police custody for the alleged robbery. I guess Brandon and Carey can forget about Uncle R. pitching in the bail money.
Academy Award winning actor and Grammy nominated singer Jamie Foxx will release his J Records sophomore album Intuition on December 16. The first single, "Just Like Me" featuring T.I., is set to hit radio on November 10 and will be available via all digital music providers on November 11. Get a taste of the single below:

"Just Like Me" was co-written and co-produced by The-Dream and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, the duo who brought us Rihanna's "Umbrella," Mary J. Blige's "Just Fine," and Beyonce's latest hit "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it)."
The follow-up to his RIAA-certified double platinum release Unpredictable, Intuition is slated to feature additional production by Timbaland, Ne-Yo, Sean Garrett, Salaam Remy, Carlos McKinney and more.
Kanye's animated video for "Heartless" premiered last night. I've got it for you below:
Kanye West "Heartless"
I love it. Based on this and G.O.O.D. artist Tony Williams' video that I posted the other day it's clear the camp is mighty fond of animation. I love how Kanye's video replicates the art in his home.
808s and Heartbreak is due out November 25th.
Last month I told you Def Jam was set to drop their very own "Dream" girls Electrik Red. The video for their first single "Drink In My Cup" made its MySpace premiere today. Check it out:
Electrik Red "Drink In My Cup"
What do you think? Def Jam's answer to the Pussycat Dolls? I just wish there was more singing and less chanting.
Have a great weekend guys!
