2019 continues to be a terrible year for R. Kelly. It all began with the graphic documentary Surviving R. Kelly airing in January and was subsequently followed by a mental breakdown during a highly publicized interview with Gayle King in March. Aside from that Kelly has been embroiled in child support drama that seems to be draining his bank account dry. But in an attempt to avoid anymore jail time his legal team has decided to pay the next two installments in advance.

Seems Like He’s Ready…To Pay

Kelly’s ex-wife Drea Kelly, whose allegations of abuse in the Surviving R. Kelly documentary were some of the most shocking revelations, has been trying to get him to pay what he’s owed her in child support for years. They struck an initial deal of just under $21K a month back in 2009 but Kelly has since fell behind on his payments as of 2018.

Prepays 2 More Months

TMZ reports that on Tuesday afternoon members of his legal team arrived at court to deal with the payments ahead of their scheduled allotment.

The disgraced singer’s crisis manager, Darrell Johnson, tells TMZ … Kelly’s family attorney, Lisa Damico, appeared in Chicago court Tuesday afternoon and paid $41,666 to cover June and July’s child support payments to his ex-wife,Drea Kelly.

This decision will keep the courts from shaking him down for the money he owes Drea for their three children while he can now focus on his pending sexual misconduct lawsuits. However he’s not completely off the hook yet as there are still more funds he needs to fork over. Or does he?

R. Kelly is living in the season of ‘when it rains it pours’. These days everyone is in R. Kelly’s pockets–the only thing is– this is the worst time for companies and people to sue Kels as his money has plummeted in recent months and his ability to make new music without the backing of a major label is difficult.

Kelly who has been out of the limelight due to his mounting legal and financial issues–had to find a way to get some cash flow as he has a $20,000 child support bill to pay monthly.

As previously, reported by TMZ Kelly came out of hiding last week for a paid club appearance at the Dirty South Lounge in Springfield, Illinois, where he interacted with the small crowd and belted out the opening line to his hit song “Bump N’ Grind.” Sources with knowledge of Kelly’s deal says the embattled singer was paid $22k for his 1-hour appearance. We’re told Kelly pocketed $20k, and paid his booking agent $2k.

R. Kelly’s ex Drea Kelly was happy to see that he booked a gig and of course was anticipating the support amount but it never came after Kelly’s club gig.

R. Kelly Misses Payments

The singer has missed his last two months of child support payments to Drea after he was just arrested in early March for a $161,633 delinquency coming right after being arrested for sexual abuse charges. He’s required to pay $20,833 a month to his ex.
