More trouble for R.Kelly as an arrest warrant has been issued against him in Minnesota.

An arrest warrant has been issued on R.Kelly by a judge in Minnesota even though he is presently in a Chicago prison.

TMZ reports that the judge in Minnesota issued his arrest after he failed to show up in court. This time around, R.Kelly isn't at fault as is presently in jail in Chicago which makes it impossible to appear in court.

R.Kelly is facing a two-count charge in Minnesota for engaging in prostitution with someone under 18, and hiring/offering/agreeing to hire someone for sexual contact.
