Just when you thought R. Kelly couldn’t possibly have any more ideas for Trapped in the Closet.
The R&B crooner just released 10 new chapters in his twisted “hip-hopera” and plans to take the saga to Broadway, but he’s not stopping there – a book is also in the works. Kelly told Fast Company‘s Co.Create that he’s currently writing the book that appears in an infomercial in the series’ most recent installments. It’s a hefty tome that he claims provides background information about the story’s bizarre set of characters: Rufus, Chuck, Sylvester, Pimp Lucius, Bridget, a midget named, fittingly, Little Man.
“I feel like it’s time to introduce [fans] to these people before what they saw,” Kelly said. “It’s the prequel meeting the sequel. You’ll get to find out a lot of things you don’t know.”
This news should hold over Trapped in the Closet enthusiasts for a while, at least until Kelly releases further installments. And from the sounds of it, there will be many, many, many more.
“I’m gonna continue,” Kelly said. “I have 85 more chapters that��s already written, already in the studio, and already ready to be shot.”
