You know what I think it is...

The documentary aired in what is now the #metoo era.

That could be what actually prompted it. Lifetime knew exactly what they were doing - this sudden interest they took in the stories of these young women following the trial and sentencing of Bill Cosby is no coincidence to me.

The documentary may have flown under the radar had we been in a different time, but then again I don't even think Lifetime would have CARED enough about it then to do this. Kinda disgusting on their end as well.

This has nothing to do with that documentary. It has to do with business. The media isn?t on his side and I?m sure they see that. It was NOT a good look that people were outside Sony protesting him or blowing up their phone lines. I feel like they would?ve ignored it had people not go down to their office. That quickly made it from R. Kelly to an issue with Sony/RCA. R. Kelly has a good relationship with Sony. They gave him millions during the lowest point of his life because he was a cash cow. Now he?s not.

I doubt it was mutual but him being paid out isn't far fetched.  He still had two albums to deliver to my understanding. They cant just break a contract without cause. 
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw

Why do you doubt it? His manager already confirmed it and said he wouldn?t pursue legal action because it was a mutual separation. He was paid out.


Vonc2002

Yea that sounds like a saving face tactic.
Oh! Wanted to leave anyway.  HA!
He was no doubt put out but he was probably paid out.  That sounds about right

He wasn?t put out. :dead: Sony stood by him during a far worse period of his life but whatever helps you sleep at night. The fact is it was mutual and he got his check. LMAO! Meanwhile some of y?all faves gonna stay in the same contract - forever.

Iman it's ok to say R.Kelly is losing :plzstop:
Them standing by him then has SHIT to do with now. We're in a whole other climate and people ain't putting up with this type of shit.  People far more successful and connected have lost their careers in the wake of #Metoo and #Timesup. If u really think R.Kelly left just out the blue then more power to you.  He was definitely UNCEREMONIOUSLY escorted tf OWT :kii:

He was put out and deserved to be dropped. Maybe they bought him out of his contract or whatever but Sony has a good reputation and can't have it tarnished by some pedophile no matter how many records he sold. They have to protect their brand.

It?s been in talks for months now. His A&R said that Kellz camp actually asked to get out of the contract. Probably why Sony or RCA won?t release a statement.  I mean, what?s the point? They didn?t promote his last couple of albums and now he owns all his future recordings.

It is mutual only because of contractual obligations
and not by choice

sony was fine
rkelly was fine

doc series aired and sony wasnt fine
sony said look dude the negative press around you could impact our label other artists
lets buy out the contract and end it

rkelly with shit gettin pulled left and right im sure wasnt to upset about it

now sony can say hes gone and continue to support our artists  :ohwow:

its mutual because both parties HAD to agree to new terms contractually

I?m really yelling. It?s sad just how gullible niggers are by media tactics. Me too! Times up! Nobody cares, girls. A LOT of niggas would be up and out of labels if those movements really mattered. This is about money and business. Period.
