Robert Kelly is still hurting from getting beat up in his jail cell last month.
An inmate went into R. Kelly’s cell and beat him up after being frustrated that the jail would get put on lockdown when R. Kelly protestors marched outside the jail. The inmate almost stabbed the singer with a pen, but R. Kelly didn’t suffer and serious injuries. He was placed in solitary confinement after the fight, and his lawyers tried to get him out on bail, but a judge denied it since they removed the inmate to another facility.
Reported on The Jasmine Brand, the “Bump n Grind” singer is still “suffering” from the attack. R. Kelly said he’s feeling “petrified, paranoid, and can’t sleep.” The singer’s lawyer also said R. Kelly is afraid to leave his cell.
R. Kelly turned himself in last summer and awaiting trial since last summer at Chicago’s Metropolitan Correctional Center. He’s facing multiple charges in various cities. He faces federal charges related to the sexual abuse of minors in two separate cases in Chicago and Brooklyn. The charges vary from child pornography, sexual assault, abuse of a minor, racketeering, and obstruction of justice. A woman also claims he knowingly gave her herpes, she’s also demanding money from the singer in a lawsuit.
A judge recently discovered he had a secret bank account with $1.2 million in it, after claiming he was broke. His next trial date was scheduled for Sept. 14. but it appears to have gotten pushed back. R. Kelly pleaded not guilty to all charges.
