R KELLY RUSHED TO HOSPITAL AFTER OVERDOSING IN PRISON.

R&B singer, R. Kelly, has been hospitalized after overdosing on medication provided by a prison guard. 

According to his lawyer, the singer collapsed at the federal correctional institute in Butner, North Carolina, and was rushed to Duke University hospital.

The lawyer alleged that Kelly was given an overdose quantity of medication, which threatened his life, noting that the singer reportedly overheard a prison officer during the ambulance ride to the hospital, saying that it was going to open a whole new can of worms.

Kelly's lawyer, who has accused prison officials of denying him surgery and plotting to have him killed by another inmate, has filed an emergency motion requesting his release to home detention.
