R. Kelly's girlfriends Azriel Clary and Joselyn Savage, who defended the singer, flatly denied that they had been snatched away from their families
UPDATED MAR 14, 2019

Chicago police had to rush to the home of disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly which is located in the Trump Tower on Tuesday evening amid fear and speculation that his girlfriends had made a suicide pact and were attempting to carry it out.

Eventually, it was reported to be a false alarm. A police radio call online showed a dispatcher receiving an anonymous call where the caller told officers that R. Kelly's girlfriend Azriel Clary and "four other women, who are victims of R. Kelly are planning to carry out a suicide pact at one of the condos at Trump Tower." However, the caller did not specify when or where the alleged suicide would take place.

As confirmed to PEOPLE by the Chicago Police Department in a statement, emergency responders showed up at the 400 block of North Wabash a little before 5.30 pm.
