This week it was reported that R. Kelly was a no show in court after refusing to leave his cell [click here if you missed that].
R. Kelly denies the claims...
R. Kelly's lawyer tells Billboard Magazine,
"He's in federal custody and it's incumbent on the state to get him to Cook County... I can't drive over in my Maserati and pick him up and they didn't do it."
"They claimed he refused to come when nobody came to get him. What they said was just not true. It was the State's Attorney lying to over up their own screw-up over the fact that they didn't get him."R. is facing charges of racketeering and child pornography in Illinois and New York [click here if you missed that].
