R. Kelly Taken Into Custody After Child Support Hearing

R. Kelly has been taken into custody following his child support hearing.

The 52-year-old singer arrived at the Daley Center for his hearing on Wednesday (March 6) in Chicago.

He was in court after failing to pay more than $160,000 in child support and is expected to return to jail, CBS Chicago reports.

R. Kelly had been ordered to pay more than $190,000 to his ex-wife, Andrea Lee. They share three children – Joann, 21, Jay, 19, and Robert, 17.

The terms of R. Kelly‘s 2009 divorce require him to pay $20,000 a month in child support, but he stopped making the payments in the spring.

His next hearing is scheduled for March 13.

R. Kelly recently gave his first interview since his recent charges, denying sexual abuse claims.
