Chicago police reportedly rushed to R. Kelly’s home in fear his girlfriends were attempting to carry out a “suicide pact.” They later determined it was a false alarm.

A dispatcher received a call Tuesday from an anonymous person, who said Kelly's girlfriend Azriel Clary and four other women were planning to carry out a "suicide pact" at the singer's Trump Towers condo, the Chicago Police Department confirmed to People.

The caller did not provide a specific unit number and did not give details about when the alleged suicide would take place.

When emergency responders arrived at Kelly’s home, they were met at the door by an attorney who said everyone was fine. Officers asked to enter the apartment, but they were denied entry. They did not have a search warrant and left.

Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi later tweeted the call about the alleged suicide was “unfounded.”

Kelly’s lawyer Steve Greenberg responded to the reports, telling People, “It is offensive that anyone gives this any credibility.”

Kelly's publicist Darrell Johnson also commented, telling E! News the claims were "fake." He said the songwriter was fine and was "getting ready (to) rehearse and sing some songs."
