The singer, 56, wouldn't be eligible for release until he was about 100 if a Chicago judge goes along and adds it to the 30 years Kelly's already serving after a New York conviction.
Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2022 on nine counts that included "sexual exploitation of children."

Opening statements began Wednesday in Chicago in a federal trial for R. Kelly. He's accused of enticing of minors for sex, producing child pornography and rigging his 2008 pornography trial. Jim DeRogatis, journalist and author of "Soulless: The Case Against R. Kelly," first broke the story for the Chicago Sun Times back in 2000, and he joins CBS News to discuss this latest case.
Three people were injured in a shooting outside Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, near Chicago. A federal trial for R Kelly is set to begin in Chicago.

And a U.S. congressional delegation is in Taiwan on the heels of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's controversial visit earlier this month.
The singer's federal trial on charges he conspired to obstruct justice in his 2008 state child pornography trial starts Monday in Chicago.
The lawyers allege that there is no reason for Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center to put the 55-year-old Kelly on suicide watch, and that doing so is causing "real and lasting harm" to the singer.
Disgraced former R&B singer R. Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for leading a decades-long sex trafficking operation. He appeared in a New York City court Wednesday, where survivors of his abuse gave emotional accounts of their pain and suffering. National correspondent Jericka Duncan spoke with two of those survivors and reports on both the sentencing and its impact.
Prosecutors are recommending that singer R. Kelly should spend more than 25 years in prison for sex trafficking. Sentencing is slated for later this month. Former President Trump, his son Don Jr. and daughter Ivanka have agreed to answer questions under oath next month in the New York attorney general’s probe of his business practices. And the Foo Fighters say two concerts in September will honor late bandmate Taylor Hawkins.
