R. Kelly grew up as a regular kid in South Side Chicago. His dad wasn’t in the picture, his mom had a rough time and later battled cancer, but she made sure he learned the importance of faith.
The courts ordered Kelly’s label, Universal, to pay Kelly’s victims $567,444.19 of royalties intended for Kelly. According to insider gossip, this money was used to compensate Kelly’s victims beyond the meagre $27,000 they had already received.
