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.
