R. Kelly & Sony Music Part Ways Following “Surviving R. Kelly”

    R. Kelly is feeling the heat in the wake of Surviving R. Kelly. According to TMZ, Kellz’s longtime label Sony Music has parted ways with the R&B superstar. Sources close to Kelly revealed both parties agreed to the separation this week.

    The label has reportedly been under pressure to release Kelly from his contract as protests outside their Los Angeles and New York City locations continue.

    Lifetime premiered the six-part documentary on January 3, spotlighting Kelly’s inappropriate predatory behavior and alleged sexual assaults. Since then, Lady Gaga, Chance The Rapper and Ciara have pulled their collaborations with Kelly from streaming services as the #MuteRKelly movement found its second wind.

    Kelly has been with Sony since the onset of his career and under contract with RCA —  its subsidiary label — since 2012. RCA released Kelly’s 12 Nights Of Christmas album in 2016, his follow-up to 2015’s The Buffet. 

    Earlier this week, RCA said any new R. Kelly material was on hold, but it looks like that was only the beginning.

        1. He is a pedophile? Sorry I don’t watch news about celebrities I just like good music? Never heard any of that

        2. Most of these celebrities are into sick shit. You better add some more to that list. No man is above natural law. Everyone pays for their sins.

    1. His net worth is only a million. This may actually hurt him alot. Now I bet if no charges or jail time,labels will be dickriding him again. Fake people in the industry. Smh

    2. They’re going to keep the masters though. They don’t hate him; just hate that the money finally dried up.

      1. Yep. This is the worst of this dumb shit. People mixing up shit we all know that goes on of fast hoes chasing the older dudes, which is of course wrong, but I’m not shedding a tear for either party, mixing that up with actual real deal shit that goes down like girls getting kidnapped and sex trafficked or kids getting taken from the bus stop and shit. Sorry, but that’s on their family structure to fix that shit, not society at large, and I’m tired of hearing about this shit. It goes down in every neighborhood everywhere in the world, but people just had enough of R. Kelly fucking tennagers and are going to do something about it. GFOH. Stop these girls from being hot in the ass.

        It’s like all those hoes that fucked Weinstein’s fat ass. They knew they were sucking dick for movie roles, but then they want to talk about they were sexually assaulted and shit. Give me a fucking break.

    3. ewe r. Kelly as president what would he do, genocide? there is something wrong when a black president is over sexualised with some Italian or something like lady gaga being like fucking Marilyn Monroe – ironic really – the deception is still there.
