The Ignition singer was prepared to pay $50,000 to $60,000 but when the judge asked him to pay the full amount, he couldn’t. As per R. Kelly, he couldn’t pay the full child support money because he is unable to work.

R. Kelly Jailed For The Second Time This Year

It’s not the first time for R. Kelly to stay in jail. He previously had to spend the weekend in Cook County Jail when he was accused of sexual abuse. At that time R. Kelly failed to post the cash payment of $100,000 in order to make bail.

After being accused, R. Kelly’s attorney Steve Greenberg stated that was false as he is a rock star and doesn’t need to have any non-consensual sex.

During an interview with Gayle King, R. Kelly was emotional and agitated while talking about the sexual allegations. He asked the victims to quit playing and pleaded that he didn’t do any stuff.

Well, not everyone might believe what R. Kelly is saying but, his girlfriend Jocelyn Savage supports him.

Now let’s hope R. Kelly will clear all the stain he has got and go back to his normal life.
