 The singer-songwriter left jail on Monday night and went straight to McDonald's where he ordered a quarter-pound combo meal with soda and some coffee. He also got BBQ sauce on the side.

 Kelly, one of the most successful R&B artists of all time,  had been locked up a total of three night at the Cook County Jail on sex abuse of four victims. His attorney, Steve Greenberg, pleaded not guilty on his behalf.

 Three of the accusers were underage at the time of the alleged crimes. Attorney Michael Avenatti, who represents one of the accusers, said new witnesses and more videos indicate Kelly "deserves to be locked up for the rest of his life".

  "Our position at this point is that Mr. Kelly has done nothing wrong, " said Kelly's attorney, Steve Greenberg. " No one has showed us any evidence that he has done anything wrong".

  R.Kelly faces up to 70 years in prison, if convicted of charges.
