R. Kelly Dropped From Sony Music!

R. Kelly fired out the cannon. Sony Music dropped him.
Did you see this coming?

They meant business. His official website was pulled. They pretty much fired him out the cannon.

The Sony Music Group has decided to dissolve its ties to Robert Sylvester Kelly. You may know him as R. Kelly.

RCA Records which was home to R. Kelly's catalog of music will still remain with Sony. However, his album was shelved and he has no plans on how to push his music to the masses without a label.

The move comes after years of public calls and even a petition from members of the #MuteRKelly movement, for the company to part ways with the troubled entertainer.

Multiple women have accused R. Kelly of sexual misconduct. The blockbuster documentary Surviving R. Kelly has got so much attention. Over 40 million people watched this. This documentary has gotten the federal and state authorities to investigate allegations.

The allegations go back for 20 years. Most infamously, the entertainer was charged with child pornography in 2000 after a video surfaced that purported to show him having sex with an underage girl. Kelly was cleared of the charges in 2008 after the key witness declined to testify against him.

He also had a brief marriage with Aaliyah. The late singer who was at 15 at the time married R. Kelly. The allegations that he forged Aaliyah's birth date on the marriage license are true. Some of R. Kelly's former allies said that Aaliyah and R. Kelly had sex together.

Kelly essentially holding women captive in a "sex cult" were published back in 2017. That launched the movement to take him down.

Many rappers and pop singers are distancing themselves from him.

R. Kelly continues to deny allegations. He said that its a smear campaign and threatened to sue those who make false allegations against him.
