R. Kelly recently had an interview with Gayle King which found him asking how can he pay his child support bill. News surfaced that the singer reportedly asked for his child support bill to be lowered, and now reports surfaced noting that he has gathered the $161,000 owed to his ex-wife for child support. As a result, Kelly has been released from jail.
While walking out from the Cook County jail early Saturday morning, Kelly said “I promise we're gonna straighten all this out. That's all I can say right now. I love my fans." The money was reportedly given to him by a “benefactor.”
