The disgraced music star had sought release from the North Carolina jail amid allegations that federal prison officials are trying to kill him in a murder-for-hire scheme.

A judge has denied R. Kelly's emergency motion for prison release following accusations that officials were orchestrating his murder.

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.
