R. Kelly has been placed in solitary confinement in a Chicago, Illinois prison after he was beaten up in his cell by a fellow inmate.<\/p>\n

A TMZ source claimed 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. <\/p>\n

Kelly’s legal representative has confirmed the report, revealing measures have been taken to protect his client.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s the only place they can protect him,” Steve Greenberg told Page Six.<\/p>\n

“My understanding is, every time there is a pro-R. Kelly protest outside of the jail, they lock down the entire facility,” he explained, elaborating: “When they do this, inmates don\u2019t get their commissary, they don\u2019t get their shower, stuff like that and since they\u2019re fairly sporadic anyway, they get upset.” <\/p>\n

Greenberg said everyone in the facility was penalised: “because people are protesting in support of Kelly.”<\/p>\n

The ongoing drama led to tensions behind bars and that resulted in the altercation on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Greenberg insisted Kelly sustained no major injuries thanks to the quick thinking of prison guards.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m still very concerned because sure this time the guards were able to quickly stop something from happening but what happens if someone goes in his cell with a shank or something like that? Or the guards are busy doing something else?” he queried, concluding: “We were fortunate this time.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
