Sony Music Drops R. Kelly Over S*xual Abuse

Popular American multiple Grammy Award Winner, Robert Sylvester Kelly also known as R. Kelly, has been dropped by his Record Label, Sony Music.

According to reports, the artiste who is currently facing series of allegation of abduction, s-xual abuse and exploitation was dropped by the record label on Friday, Jan.18.

The `I believe I can Fly’ crooner was also removed from the RCA website whose parent company is Sony Music.

Sony’s move comes after years of public calls, and even a petition from members of the #MuteRKelly Movement, for the company to part ways with him.


Those calls intensified in the wake of the documentary `Surviving R. Kelly’ in which multiple women accused him of s-xual misconduct.

The protest were by women, organisations and victims including parents and relations of victims at the Sony Music offices in Los Angeles and its New York Headquarters.
