R Kelly Received $1.2M Last Year, Opened Bank Account In Someone Else’s Name
R Kelly Reportedly Made $1.2 Million Last Year With Someone’s Name On Bank Account
Disgraced R&B star R Kelly, actually had them dollars stacking up the whole time and had everybody fooled. In spite of R Kelly claiming lack of funds, he reportedly controlled a bank account that received at least $1.2 million last year, according to reports.
The bank account was created shortly after the singer was charged with sex crimes in Cook County Circuit Court, the Chicago Sun times reports.
It’s also reported that the singer opened the bank account in the name of a nominee–essentially in someone else’s name–and he can be heard on recorded jail calls directing people to contact the person “to receive payments indirectly from Kelly.”

According to the Chicago Sun times, that’s when prosecutors discovered bank records belonging to an attorney representing R. Kelly in federal court in Brooklyn.
Last year, R. Kelly opened an account in the name of an individual who also incorporated a business called ‘SomeBrotherLuv LLC’. Within the next month, he assigned his music royalties to flow into its account.
While trying to determine if the money was being used for bribes or to avoid financial penalties, prosecutors subpoenaed records for that account.
Kelly’s defense team accused the feds last month of an “unreasonable, intimidating, and harassing fishing expedition into the records of Mr. Kelly’s current counsel.”
In a related news, three of R Kelly’s alleged goons have been arrested and charged for bribing and intimidating his accusers.
