R. Kelly was recently taken to the hospital after allegedly being given too much medication by prison staff while in solitary confinement, according to a filing from the disgraced R&B singer’s legal team.

R. Kelly's attorneys say the R&B singer collapsed in prison and was hospitalized. The details made in court records this week came after Kelly's extraordinary allegations of a murder plot by prison officials that he argues require his temporary release on home detention.

R. Kelly was hospitalized for an overdose after prison staff gave him "an amount of medicine that could have killed him" and was later forcibly removed from a hospital against medical advice, his lawyer alleged in a statement to CBS News and a federal court filing.
