R. Kelly & Sony Are Parting Ways

R. Kelly and Sony are parting ways.

The news comes as the 52-year-old artist finds himself once again in the headlines following the airing of Lifetime’s docu-series Surviving R. Kelly, which detailed allegations of sexual assault and misconduct against the star.

The artist and his label agreed to part ways, Billboard reported on Friday (January 18).

In addition to the #MuteRKelly protest online, other artists have already spoken out against the singer, including RCA Records act Jack Antonoff, who called for R. Kelly to be dropped from the label back in March of 2018.

R. Kelly was signed to Sony since the beginning of his career, and was under contract at RCA Records since 2012.
