Someone from Chicago, or anywhere, come and tell me why R. Kelly is broke

[jadillac]

So dude owes 5 MILLION in back taxes to the govt since 2005.

That's insane.

What's going on? You never really hear or see dude on TV showing off his cars, houses(I think he only has one, or so I've read), never see him in Hollywood or on TMZ out and about. He's pretty much a recluse on a national level when he's not on tour. And with the sheer amount of work he's done, it seems like he's gotta be holed up in the studio all the time.

Chicago....tell us what's up. Did his lawyers take all his money? Did his divorce take his money?

Not paying ur taxes since 2005 means SOMETHING is wrong. Especially when it first came up last year, along with not paying ur house note....now it's coming out again in full.

He should be one of the last r&b musicians broke.

Sad if this is true.

That's what I said.

He should have money similar to Lionel Richie & Babyface with the amount of stuff he's done.

I know they're old, but "You Are Not Alone", "I Believe I can Fly" are just two monster songs that would set most ppl for life....not to mention the dozens of other hits he's done.

I said damn if R, Kelly is broke, who aint? lol

Not necessarily...Jermaine Dupri owed about the same and just cut that check. I think at some point of extreme financial security some of these cats just lose a touch of reality about taxes and things. Now if he CAN'T pay it back...THEN

Swear. I've literally NEVER met anyone from Chicago that didn't have stories of meeting or seeing R. Kelly out at places all the time. That's why I asked in the thread title.

It would be bad it someone signed him up in some shady business deal bc he was functionally illiterate.

 

[Rekkapryde]

You do have some of these dummies thinking show money is tax free..

Sent From My Nexus S 4G nikka!

 

[MR. SNIFLES]

I GUESS HE PISSED AWAY ALL HIS MONEY

Yeah, but what about his house???

This is only the latest bad news for the financially-strapped singer. Last summer, it came to light that Kelly had failed to make mortgage payments on his Chicago-area mansion for more than one year -- he was then slapped with a $2.9 million foreclosure suit. The 11,000-square-foot Olympia Fields home went on the market in December with an asking price of $1.595 million.
