R. Kelly has reportedly been beaten up at a federal prison in Chicago.
Authorities and the singer’s lawyer have refused to comment on the drama, but a TMZ source claims the I Believe I Can Fly hitmaker, who is behind bars awaiting trial on a series of child sex abuse charges, was attacked in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
An inmate allegedly took his frustrations out on Kelly after a series of recent jail lockdowns caused by protests related to Kelly outside the jail.
Kelly was examined by a doctor, who determined he was not seriously injured.
