Back in January, R. Kelly was evicted from his recording studio in Chicago after he stopped paying the rent.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Kelly’s former landlord, Midwest Commercial Funding recently issued a subpoena to Sony Music Holdings, Inc. and was able to get the music company to freeze $264,535 in Kelly’s biannual royalty account.
The amount frozen by Sony was meant to pay off the $173,855.08 Midwest was still owed on a judgement awarded after the R&B singer stopped paying rent on his infamous Chicago music studio.
However, after Sony froze Kelly’s account, Midwest was able to collect $154,527.22 from one of Kelly’s Bank of America accounts after a “turnover order” was issued.
