R. Kelly allegedly attacked by inmate inside Chicago prison

Embattled American singer, R. Kelly has allegedly been attacked by another inmate inside a Chicago prison.

TMZ reports that the incident recently took place inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago, Illinois where he is being detained after pleading not guilty to dozens of state and federal sex crime charges in Illinois, Minnesota, and New York.

The 53-year-old was said to have been sitting on his bed when another inmate walked into his cell and started punching him.

Federal law enforcement sources told TMZ that the yet-to-be identified inmate attacked Kelly because of built up anger over the detention facility being placed on lockdown on different occasions due to protests by the singer’s supporters outside the correctional center.

After the alleged attack, the ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ singer was examined by a doctor, who determined that he was okay as he didn’t suffer any broken bones or serious injuries.
