DOWNHILL TO HELL FOR SHEER R. KELLY ACCUSED OF SEXUAL AGGRESSION

"R. Kelly and Sony have decided to separate, "reported Billboard magazine, specializing in the recording industry, Friday, January 18.

It was the descent into hell for the "King" of the RnB who, from the beginning of his career, had been accused of having ambiguous relations with very young girls.

Already in 1994, he was accused of secretly marrying the then 15-year-old singer Aaliyah.

In 2002, he was again in the news with his arrest for child pornography in 2002 after filming his antics with a 13-year-old girl.

He was acquitted six years later.

The coup de grace came from the broadcast in early January on an American channel of a documentary titled "Surviving R. Kelly".

Several women accused the 52-year-old singer and producer of having sex with girls under 16 and of forcing other women to be his sex slaves.

Calls for boycott had multiplied under the impetus of #MeToo and Time's Up, via the #MuteRKelly slogan on Twitter.

Some personalities, including Lady Gaga and Celine Dion, have also requested that their duets with the author be removed from the download and streaming platforms.

A demonstration had also taken place, January 16, in front of the headquarters of Sony Music to request the rupture of the record company with the artist.

Several prosecutors have opened an investigation following these accusations that the 52-year-old singer continues to deny. Chicago Attorney Kim Foxx launched a call for witnesses on January 8. That of Atlanta, the state in which the singer owns a property, is also investigating his side.
