R&B artist R. Kelly, who is being held on sex-related charges, has been taken to the hospital after suffering a life-threatening overdose, his lawyers said.

R. Kelly, the embattled R&B singer currently serving a 30-year sentence for sex trafficking and racketeering, was hospitalized following what his attorneys describe as a deliberate overdose. The incident occurred at the Federal Correctional Institution in Butner, North Carolina, where Kelly has been imprisoned since his 2021 conviction.

After R. Kelly is hospitalized, his lawyer blames OD-levels of medication on a plot to murder his client that was alleged last week. Feds call that 'fanciful.'
