R. Kelly got a taste of jailhouse justice -- a frustrated inmate went on the attack and jumped Kelly in his cell ... TMZ has learned.

Federal law enforcement sources with direct knowledge tell us the incident recently went down inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago where Kelly was sitting on his bed when another inmate walked in his cell and started punching the crap out of Kelly.

Our sources say the inmate went on the attack because he was angry about the detention facility being placed on lock down a couple of times largely due to Kelly protesters outside the jail.

We're told the fight didn't last long, and it's unclear if another inmate or guards broke it up. Our sources say Kelly was examined by a doctor, who determined the singer was okay ... no broken bones or serious injuries.

A spokesperson for the Federal Bureau Of Prisons tells TMZ ... it cannot comment on an individual inmate's conditions of confinement or medical status due to privacy and safety reasons. We also reached out to Kelly's attorney, Steven Greenberg, for comment but he declined to discuss the incident and said Kelly's been a model inmate.

2020 journalism < anything

It be like that I seen a nigga get jumped for smelling like cigs and not having any

Nice

Lol

It’s TMZ.

R Kelly is worse than 69 but people don’t act that way

Cookies, what the f*** does that have to do with anything?

He made Ignition remix

People stay wishing death on 69 but not rkelly. Just an observation

one is rotting in a prison cell getting beat up by inmates

the other is consistently trolling on instagram

Imagine watching CNN and seeing a live news reporter describe the incident in those exact words with a straight face

Dressed like a predator going through a serious mid-life crisis
