#TSRUpdatez: R. Kelly’s Record Label Has Put His Music On Hold Amid ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ Backlash

<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">A lot of people have spoken out against &num;RKelly since &num;SurvivingRKelly aired and now it sounds like his record label &num;RCA has finally responded to all the protest and backlash&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Sources told &commat;<a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;tmz&period;com&sol;2019&sol;01&sol;13&sol;french-montana-r-kelly-legacy-allegations-music-los-angeles-rams&sol;">tmz&lowbar;tv<&sol;a> that RCA&sol;Sony has put his new music on ice&comma; meaning the label will not release any additional music until the criminal investigations are resolved&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">And it’s being reported that R&period; Kelly is obviously upset because he apparently has been in the studio recording new music to fulfill the obligations under his RCA contract&comma; which required two new albums of him&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Sources told TMZ that R&period; Kelly is especially annoyed with RCA&sol;Sony because they won’t break him off any bread for the music videos he wants to do&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">The pressure has been on the label to respond to the accusations of sexual assault made against R&period; Kelly in the wake of the growing &num;MuteRKelly movement&period; But it’s much more complicated than just shutting R&period; Kelly down because the label has a deal with him and if they formally walk away from him without any criminal charges to justify ending their contract&comma; they could be sued&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">It’s unclear if there’s a &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;morals clause” in R&period; Kelly’s contract&comma; which is the type of thing that would allow the label to axe him for crossing the line&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">The other possibility is that they could mutually agree to end things because of R&period; Kelly unhappiness with the label&period; It’s also being rumored that other artists are now turning R&period; Kelly down for collabs&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">There was no public comment from the labels about the situation or the investigations into their client&period; Protests have been occurring outside of R&period; Kelly’s studio in Chicago and there has been no public response to that either&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon;
