Popular RnB singer, R. Kelly, has allegedly pleaded for bail after Coronavirus (COVID-9) hits prison where he is currently serving as an inmate.

The 53-year-old singer and song writer who is currently awaiting trial at MCC Chicago for molesting underaged girls is scared of contracting the virus after reports have it that there are confirmed cases in the prison.

Kelly is so concerned as figures provided by the Bureau of Prisons on Wednesday, showed that there are 500 positive-testing inmates, 298 positive-testing staff members and 17 deaths.

“As of Monday, 23 inmates at MCC have tested positive for COVID-19”, reports say.
