Caged singer R. Kelly tried to extract a cool $1 million from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons before slamming the government with a big bucks lawsuit after his private information was allegedly leaked to an online blogger, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.

The disgraced I Believe I Can Fly crooner sought to quietly settle the matter with the seven-figure payout after an internal probe showed BOP workers illegally snooped into his prison records, email correspondence, recorded telephone chats, and visitors’ logs, according to the November 13, 2023 lawsuit.

The singer, who is serving 20 years in federal prison on child porn and enticement charges, claimed documents obtained during an investigation by Special Agent Matt Loux of the Department of Justice’s IG’s office proved his privacy was violated by about 60 prison workers at Chicago’s Metropolitan Correctional Center.

Armed with the smoking gun evidence, R. Kelly thought he could quickly earn a quick buck but was rejected by BOP brass.

“Plaintiff promptly filed a notice of claim on November 14, 2022, and served his claim to the appropriate federal agency for administrative settlement under the FTCA (Federal Tort Claims Act) requesting $1,000,0000 or more,” the court documents revealed.

“By letter dated June 15, 2023, Plaintiff's claim was denied in writing by the North Central Regional Office of the Federal Bureau of Prisons and such denial was sent by certified mail to the Plaintiff's counsel.”

R. Kelly claimed in the lawsuit, which now seeks unspecified damages, that he “suffered emotional distress because he did not feel at liberty to freely speak with his attorneys.”

“Plaintiff spent sleepless nights distressed and confused how his private conversations had been leaked to the public and who was responsible for it,” the lawsuit stated.
