R. Kelly reportedly received both injections of a COVID-19 vaccine while he was being held in a prison in Illinois on serious child sex charges.
The “I Believe I Can Fly” singer – who has repeatedly tried to be released from custody because of the dangers of the pandemic – is one of more than 60 inmates at the Chicago Metropolitan Correctional Center who have been fully vaccinated, according to TMZ.
The 47-year-old had his first injection in January and his second this month, the vehicle said. It was not clear which vaccine he received.
The singer – whose real name is Robert Kelly – is awaiting trial in Illinois and New York on charges of sexual abuse of underage girls, production of child pornography and destruction of evidence.
