R.Kelly has now been reportedly dropped by recording music giant, Sony music.
Since the docu-series “Surviving R.Kelly” surfaced online which
revealed the sexual attrocities the talented singer committed in the
past with underage girls, there has been cries from every corner of the
US music industry and even outside of it that R.Kelly’s music should be
taken down from all streaming platforms.
Many are even of the opinion that those that have had a music
relationship with the singer in the past should denounce their
affiliation with him. Many of the artistes definitely did according to
the wishes of these people as the likes of Lady Gaga, Celine Dion and
many others all expressed their regrets at working with Kelly in the
past and promised never to have anything to do with him anymore.
It was even during this period that the #muteR.Kelly campaign came up
which was intent on clearing the legacy and musical existence of the
superstar.
It seems Sony Music have now found all these controversies a possible
setback for the label and also a damaging image for their signed
artistes; R.Kelly and others, so they have then decided to terminate his
contract and send him packing from the Label. Although there hasn’t
been any official confirmation from the label, but there are heavy
reports it is an accurate story.
If truly this has happened, does it signify an end to R.Kelly’s career?
