Prosecutors say R. Kelly is no longer on suicide watch following the jailed R&B singer's sentencing in a federal sex abuse case.
Kelly underwent a clinical assessment and it was concluded that suicide watch was no longer necessary, prosecutors told the court, according to the New York Post.
Kelly’s attorneys filed a lawsuit last week, claiming the singer was placed on suicide watch as a form of punishment.

He is currently being held at a federal jail in Brooklyn.
