R. Kelly's Manager Allegedly Threatened to Kill Father of Joycelyn Savage

R. Kelly's manager James Mason allegedly made the call on Wednesday.

Timothy Savage, the father of alleged R. Kelly 'sex slave' Joycelyn Savage, claims that the embattled singer's manager threatened to kill him, according to TMZ.

Timothy, who has said that he reported the alleged threat to the police, told the news outlet that Kelly's manager, James Mason, phoned him on Wednesday and told him "I'm gonna do harm to you and your family, when I see you I'm gonna get you, I'm going to fucking kill you."

According toTMZ, the police report states that Savage said there was a witness to this threat, as it was apparently a three-way phone conversation.

Timothy has previously gone public with accusations that Kelly is holding his daughter, as well as other women, captive against their will(s) in an alleged sex cult. Despite mounting allegations, Joycelyn has denied them while adamantly claiming that she has been staying with Kelly on her own free will.

In other R. Kelly related news, music from the singer, as well as XXXTentacion, was pulled from Spotify playlists after the company implemented a “hate content and hateful conduct” policy. The move, which has garnered both praise and condemnation, will reportedly be reversed.
