R. Kelly’s is likely experiencing one of the roughest months of his life in the wake of Lifetime’s Surviving R. Kelly docu-series — and it’s not over. According to TMZ, RCA Records (a subsidiary of Sony Music) has pushed pause on any new music from the singer.
Although Kelly is still obligated to contractually release two more albums under the imprint, sources say they will not put any resources into his current catalog or release any of his new music until the most recent open investigation against him in the state of Georgia is resolved.
This would prevent Kelly from taking immediate advantage of the increase in digital streams he experienced following the Surviving R. Kelly premiere. Many fans appeared to have no interest in canceling his music. Conversely, a large portion of those plays were presumably listeners revisiting his catalog with a fresh perspective.
Kelly’s last album released via RCA was 2015’s The Buffet, which was the lowest charting — and selling — album of his career.
Lifetime can make money from booty banging girls but he can’t make music?
Now that’s holding someone hostage and screwing them against their will.
So is fucking girls that aren’t old enough to consent……statutory ra.pe
Look it up bro NO ONE GOT PAID FOR THE DOCUMENTARY.
They have to be getting paid off of this, I’m pretty sure lifetime is making plenty of money so is it ok if the women in the show don’t get paid?
So they ran that shit with no commercials? That would be a first. some of you people say the dumbest shit to make flawed points.
He’s a molester. He’s a CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLD molester.
Karma is catching up with this diseased dick pedophile. Satan is waiting for this sick loser at Hells gates
Guilty until proven innocent.
except not really you child molestor defending piece of trash.
it´s a record company,not a non profit org. How would they explain this in court,especially with the spike in streaming.
just drop his ass and let him figure it out on his own
Great. Now we gotta stream his old classic music. Thanks RCA.
The same young girls who are screaming “cancelled” to every dude in high school without Jordan’s or Gucci are now grown talking about precious black pearls. Miss me with that BS. R. Kelly seen these young girls fast and Materialistic and took advantage.
Liberals in 2003: R. Kelly is innocent and is only on trial because he was set up by racist white cops
Liberals in 2019: The only reason R. Kelly was able to get away with harassing young black girls for so long is because society doesn’t value black girls.
It’s time for this chomo to face the music
Tick tock. Time is almost up for your peado ass you piece of shit!
Then after he dies, they’ll do all of the rereleases of the greatest hits and live fromt he vault albums. Funnier than the artists taking him off their old albums is the label heads who have been there through it all and now want to push pause because that last album was wack. Instead of being hypocrites, go tell him to release another Love Letter. That shit was heat.
