Content and music video[edit]

The first chapter of 'Trapped in the Closet' begins with the narrator, Sylvester (portrayed by Kelly), waking up and realizing that he is not in his own bed. He recalls leaving a nightclub with a strange woman the previous night, and that he was in her bed. As Sylvester is scolding himself for what he has done as a married man, the woman comes back into the bedroom from the bathroom. Sylvester tells her that he has to leave quickly. She tells him he can't leave out the door because she hears her husband coming up the stairs. Sylvester says he'll jump out the window, but she reminds him that they are on the fifth floor. Sylvester thinks frantically, and then decides to hide in the closet. A few seconds later, the husband walks in, and the couple ends up fooling around on the bed. Sylvester reflects that the woman deserves an Oscar for her skillful acting. Suddenly, Sylvester's cell phone rings and he hurries to put it on vibrate. The husband hears the ring and suspects something is wrong. He searches the house for another person. He looks behind the shower curtain, under the bed, in the dresser, and then walks towards the closet. The first part ends with Sylvester reaching for his Beretta and the husband opening the closet.

Were you a fan of R. Kelly’s Trapped In the Closet saga, but wished it could be, say, 40 parts longer? Then today is your lucky today!

After the series originally appeared in 2005, the most recent addition came in 2012, currently leaving it at 33 parts. That would seem more than sufficient, but apparently, Kelly is just getting warmed up. In an interview with Complex, he revealed some new chapters of the story that he is preparing to shoot:

According to Kelly, forty more chapters have already been written and recorded. They just need to be shot. He spoke a little bit about how chapter 34 will take place on the “out the closet” TV show he teased in chapter 33 and says that everyone from the entire series will make appearances on the Jerry Springer-like fictional show.

Yes, apparently we’re going to get even more drama from the master of it. Obviously, this raises one essential question: will Weird Al give us some new chapters of “Trapped In The Drive Thru” to go with these new releases? Surely, that story needs to be finished as well!
