Video shows fight between R. Kelly's girlfriends

Chicago authorities were reportedly called to R. Kelly's apartment on Wednesday after a fight between his girlfriends on the singer's 53rd birthday.

As pointed out by TMZ , the incident was captured on Azriel Clary 's Instagram live broadcast as she apparently picked up her belongings at Kelly's Trump Tower residence. At some point, Clary started arguing with Kelly's other girlfriend, Joycelyn Savage - and it wasn't long before things turned to physical violence.

The images, obtained by TMZ, show Savage yelling at Clary, accusing her of disrespecting Kelly's house. Clary insists she is doing nothing wrong and is simply protecting herself, although the context of the argument is unclear. Moments later, we see Savage approach Clary and the two begin to fight. Only a few seconds of the fight were captured on camera, which fell immediately to the ground; however, you can hear both of them keep fighting while others try to narrow down the situation. Clary can be heard accusing Savage of sleeping with her when she was a minor and threatened to report her to the police.

Shortly after the incident, Clary returned to Instagram Live to broadcast her conversation with the Chicago police. She claimed the incident began when Savage allowed a woman identified as "Kimberly" to enter Kelly's apartment. Clary told the authorities that she knew Kimberly as Kelly's “manipulator,” but was uncomfortable that Savage had given her the key to her house. Clary does not explain how the situation got worse, but said Savage finally confronted her.

“[Savage] started saying I was wrong, and this and that. And I told her, 'Joycelyn, you're going to jail. You slept with a minor and this minor is me. You've done it several times, '”Clary told police. “She was like, 'Oh, I can't believe you're doing this, I can't believe you're saying that,' all of these things. And then she started attacking me. ”

Clary is then seen telling police that Savage had hit her face and wanted to press charges. Although she initially refused medical treatment, TMZ reports that Clary was taken to hospital on Wednesday afternoon. Earlier this week, Clary shared a series of tweets that suggest she may be ready to testify against Kelly, who is currently behind bars for a series of alleged sex crimes.
