R. Kelly’s record label Sony Music has announced that they are standing up against the troubled R & B star.

After the fallout from last week’s ‘Surviving R. Kelly” docuseries on Lifetime Sony Music has decided to stop releasing any new music from Kelly.

According to TMZ:

Sources familiar with R. Kelly’s contract and dealings with RCA/Sony tell us … the label will not produce any of the singer’s new music, it will not put money behind any of his projects, and it will not release any additional music until the criminal investigations in Georgia and other fallout resolve one way or the other.

We’re told R. Kelly is pissed because he’s been in the studio recording new music to fulfill the obligations under his RCA contract … which requires 2 new albums.

Our sources say he’s especially annoyed RCA/Sony won’t provide money for music videos.

This means that Kelly will not any financial suppor

This means Kelly will be forced to fund his own music and its supporting content himself in the future.

Troubling for him, as his career was built and has been sustained by the major label machine, making this the first time that he will be tasked with creating content without the assurances said machine offers its artist.

The bad news doesn’t end there.

For, insiders say there isn’t a single major label who will sign the alleged paedophile if Sony was to drop him…meaning that he is well and truly on his own.
