An R Kelly fan and YouTuber was arrested in Chicago this weekend over threats he made in a video to “storm” the US attorney’s office in New York following last year’s court hearing in which the musician was found guilty of running a criminal enterprise in order to abuse young people.Christopher Gunn posts content to YouTube under the name DeBoSki, with the strapline “fighting for the due process rights of all people”. He has published countless videos about the prosecution of Kelly, often talking about and criticising witnesses and lawyers involved in the criminal cases against the musician, as well as the judge who oversaw last year’s trial in New York.Gunn’s own arrest relates to a video he made about a week after the guilty verdict was reached in that trial.
According to legal papers, that video featured footage of the New York office where prosecutors in the case are based. In his narration, Gunn then allegedly stated “get real familiar with this building” because “if Kellz goes down, everybody’s going down”.Naming three prosecutors in particular, he also said: “That’s where they work at.
We’re going to storm [their] office … If you ain’t got the stomach for the fuck we bout to do, I’m asking that you just bail out”. Shortly after that Gunn shared a clip from the 1991 movie ‘Boyz N The Hood’ showing a character about to be fatally shot.The legal complaint against Gunn also alleges that he has been accepting payments on CashApp from his subscribers who make comments like “30 rounds… free R Kelly” and “30 rounds on the haters”.

Japanese Breakfast (aka Michelle Zauner) has cancelled her upcoming show in Rochester, New York, after the venue it was booked at committed to hosting an event for right-wing conspiracy theorists.The show was scheduled to take place at the Main Street Armory on Tuesday September 27, as part of a North American tour consisting of headline shows, festival appearances (such as Here And There, Austin City Limits and the Pitchfork Music Festival) and gigs opening for The National, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Florence + The Machine.The Rochester date has been cancelled, Stereogum reports, because the Armory has decided to move ahead with its booking for the ‘Reawaken America’ tour – a travelling conference that hosts speakers known for espousing dangerous, xenophobic rhetoric and widely disproven conspiracy theories.Among the key talking points platformed on the tour is the false theory that 2020’s US presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump, and arguments against the implementation of measures to combat COVID-19. Two Rochester stops on that tour are slated to go ahead on Friday August 12 and Saturday 13 – neither are listed on the venue’s website, however several of the speakers’ own sites have them billed with tickets available.Announcing her show’s cancellation on Twitter overnight, Zauner wrote: “We have cancelled the event because a number of people reached out letting us know they were boycotting the venue because of the Reawaken America tour.
