R. Kelly is no longer on suicide watch at the New York city federal jail where he’s being held. The 55-year-old R&B singer was sentenced last week to 30 years in prison for efforts to collect victims to subject to sexual abuse.

He has since filed a lawsuit against the jail with claims that the imposed suicide watch caused him mental distress and violated his constitutional rights.
