R. Kelly Begs Media to "Take it Easy" on Him

We have all heard R. Kelly is only worth $1M compared to his early years when he could fly, these days he’s just getting by.

That has to do with a lot of the headlines everyone has been reading, the payouts, lawsuits and bail.

R. Kelly is trying to get some cash, for what seems to be one of his first paid gig in a while. … he’s already getting ahead of potentially bad optics. Read on…

CelebNMusic247.com reports that the embattled R&B singer took to Instagram Saturday to record a video of himself in front of what appears to be his Trump Tower residence.

R. Kelly pleaded with fans while begging the media for a big favor — to “take it easy” on him so he can make money at the moment.

Kellz says he’s gonna be at an event tonight in Springfield, IL … one that’s gonna line his pockets, apparently.

TMZ reports:

The embattled R&B singer took to Instagram Saturday to record a video of himself in front of what appears to be his Trump Tower residence in Chicago.

The king of R&B also makes sure to mention when the media sees him in the club with a couple drinks in his hand just know he’s only there to collect a check.  This means he won’t be trying to pick up any teenage “jailbait.”

Apparently, R. Kelly wanted to get ahead of a bad look of him partying in the middle of a serious criminal case. It’s unclear where exactly he’ll be Saturday night … he didn’t mention the venue by name.

R. Kelly’s been stuck between a rock and a hard place financially these past couple months, with people having to put up major dough not once but TWICE to get him out of jail.

Kellz is still blaming his ex-wife for hindering his ability to make a living.
