Kelly<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0wants back in his studio, and he wants to work late-night hours \u2014 \u2019cause that\u2019s when his creative juices flow the best \u2026 according to new legal docs.<\/p>\n<p>The singer filed paperwork in Chicago Thursday as part of his building code violations case asking a judge to give him access to his studio during the wee hours of the night. According to the docs \u2014 obtained by TMZ \u2014 Kelly wants access to the space between the hours of 8 PM to 7 AM.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly says it\u2019s during those hours when he puts in the best work on his music, just like a lot of big artists in and around Chi-Town. He also lists this schedule as his employees\u2019 normal working hours.<\/p>\n<p>In the docs, obtained by TMZ, R. Kelly doesn\u2019t spell it out specifically, but we\u2019ve been told by sources close to the singer that he sometimes spends up to 15 hours in his studio \u2026 and needs a place to crash \u2014 hence the bed that was there as of Wednesday when city officials did a follow-up inspection to Thursday\u2019s hearing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Chicago\" alt=\"Chicago\" src=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1549569162_825_R.-Kelly-Asks-Judge-to-Give-Access-to-Chicago-Studio-for-Late-Hours.jpg\" \/>These are photos taken from inside R. Kelly\u2019s studio, and as you can tell \u2026 there\u2019s still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2019\/01\/23\/r-kelly-chicago-studio-alleged-sex-cult-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>a bed inside<\/strong><\/a> that hasn\u2019t been removed. City officials attached this photo as evidence that R. Kelly is using the space as a residence, even though he says he\u2019s removed most of his other belongings since the city\u2019s January raid.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A city inspection showed a number of personal items were being stored inside the studio, including clothes, a massage table, couches, an entertainment set and other miscellaneous items. There was even a full bathroom that\u2019d been installed, shower included.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"lightbox-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/photos\/2019\/01\/23\/inside-r-kelly-studio-photos\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Chicago studio\" alt=\"Chicago studio\" src=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Inside-R.-Kelly039s-Alleged-039Sex-Cult039-Studio-in-Chicago.jpg\" \/><\/a>The building\u2019s landlord was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2019\/01\/22\/r-kelly-chicago-studio-building-code-violations-fines\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>facing heavy fines<\/strong><\/a> for the violations \u2014 which ranged between $500 and $1,000 per day, adding up to staggering amounts in the tens of thousands. Sources close to R. Kelly tell us he helped the landlord pay off some of those fines.<\/p>\n<p>R. Kelly had already been instructed that he could only use the studio for recording during business hours \u2014 9 AM to 5 PM.<\/p>\n<p>A judge continued the case and is expected to officially weigh in Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2019\/02\/07\/r-kelly-chicago-studio-building-violations-late-hours-request\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- adman_adcode_after --><\/p>\n<p class=\"dpsp-share-text\">Sharing is caring!<\/p>\n<p class=\"gasd_author\"><a href=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/about-me\" rel=\"author\" title=\"Profile for Dalelorenzo Johnson\">Profile for Dalelorenzo Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\"><span class=\"cat-links\">Posted in <a href=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/category\/categorized\/news\" rel=\"category tag\">News<\/a><\/span>\t<\/footer>\n<p><!-- .entry-footer --><\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/r-kelly-asks-judge-to-give-access-to-chicago-studio-for-late-hours\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>R.
