how the disgusting have fallen.
r. kelly has finally been taken down.
with someone of his celebrity,
you’d think he had money to save him on a hurricane.
nope.
kellz can’t even post his own bail according to “cnn”…
R. Kelly, one of the most successful R&B acts of all time, was still in jail Sunday afternoon after he failed to immediately produce the $100,000 in cash required to make bail. A judge in Chicago set Kelly’s total bond at $1 million on Saturday, a day after he was indicted on 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse against four victims, three of whom would have been underage at the time of the alleged crimes, according to prosecutors.
Kelly’s bond was set at $250,000 for each of the alleged victims in the case. To leave police custody, he’s required to pay 10% of the total, or $100,000.
But Kelly’s money problems don’t stop with his bail.
According to court documents reviewed by CNN, Kelly owed more than $169,000 in unpaid child support to his ex-wife as of February 6. The court ordered Kelly to make a monthly payment of $20,833 on January 8, 2009, but Kelly failed to show up to that hearing, per court documents.
To avoid being held in contempt of court, a judge ordered he pay $161,663 by March 6. Greenberg told CNN his client “does not have to pay the child support before getting out. The state is trying to make him do that, or they were,” Greenberg said, “but the judge said no.”
Kelly also risked eviction at his Chicago studio last month because he owes more than $166,000 in unpaid rent. Court documents show a judge signed an eviction order in January. The documents show Robert Kelly needed to move out on or before January 21, but Kelly was still at the studio minutes before he turned himself in to police on Friday night. The eviction process began in July 2018 when the landlord, Midwest Commercial Funding LLC, said Kelly defaulted on the lease by initially failing to pay more than $79,000 in rent. The back rent continued to pile up, and the judge finally signed off on an eviction.

I read on a blog that he signed the rights to some of his music to his former manager, Aaliyah’s uncle, as part of some settlement.I think this is why Aaliyah’s mom has kept pretty quiet in terms of saying anything negative about the man who married her 15 year old daughter.His income comes from touring but the Mute R Kelly movement has affected that because places are banning him.Australian leaders are trying to ban him entry into the country.
He clearly owns none of his music. Smh. One would have thought after all the stories from past musical greats he would have learn the power of owning his own music. Hell even on streaming services:
Here’s the math: Spotify pays about $0.006 to $0.0084 per stream to the holder of music rights. And the “holder” can be split among the record label, producers, artists, and songwriters.
He’s gonna be in there until his trial 😂
^lmao!
damn.
welp!
the good news is he won’t have to pay rent for his new home.
