There are reports that music icon, R.Kelly, has been attacked by an angry inmate in jail.

According to TMZ, the disgraced music star who is facing sex abuse charges among others was attacked by another inmate inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago, United States of America.

It is alleged that the inmate went on the attack because he was angry about the detention facility being placed on lockdown a couple of times due to Kelly protesters outside the jail.

According to the report, the fight didn't last long as the prison wardens were able to break it up.
