Accused pedophile R Kelly was nearly murdered in his cell by a fellow inmate with “F**k The Feds” tattooed on his face.
The man crept into R. Kelly’s cell while he was sleeping and attempted to stab him to death with a pen, while “stomping” on his head.
Now, R. Kelly’s legal team is using this to try and get the disgraced former singer released from jail.
R. Kelly was nearly stabbed by another inmate with the words ‘F**k the Feds’ tattooed on his face and armed with a pen who crept into his Chicago jail cell.
The disgraced rapper had been asleep in the Metropolitan Correctional Center last Wednesday when the inmate, who had ‘F**k the Feds’ tattooed on his face, snuck into his cell.
In a motion filed by Kelly’s attorney, Steven Greenberg, asking to have his client released on bail, it is also claimed that the other inmate ‘repeatedly’ stomped on his client’s head, Page Six reports.
Greenberg also alleged that the inmate had ‘an ink pen with him that he was going to use to stab Mr. Kelly’ but that other inmates were able to grab the attacker before he could use the knife.
The motion also said: ‘This is an inmate that never should have been anywhere near Mr. Kelly, an individual who is charged with the most violent of crimes, and one who plainly has no respect for the rules, he has the phrase ‘Fu** The Feds’ tattooed on his face.’
Kelly’s attorney said that his client stays in his cell most of the time but the disgraced rapper was placed in solitary confinement after the attack.
It is not known whether R. Kelly is still in confinement.
The attacker is alleged to have been upset because of recent prison lockdowns caused by protests supporting R. Kelly outside of the jail.
Kelly’s legal team regularly petitions the court to have their client freed from jail while he awaits his court dates for a series of child sexual abuse charges.
Both the judge presiding over the case has yet to file responses to this latest motion.
