R. Kelly’s Lawyer Offers Some Clarity…
After Dubai’s media office released their statement, R, Kelly’s attorney, Steven A. Greenberg, sent an email to the associated Press to clarify what he’d actually requested in court:
Via AP– Steven A. Greenberg responded saying…“Mr. Kelly had a signed contract with a legitimate promoter, and any information that was included in the motion to travel was from that contract. We did not say he was invited by The royal family, but the contract did provide that he would make himself available to meet with them.”
For clarity, the following is what R. Kelly’s lawyer actually requested in court last week:
The original court filing last week stated that R. Kelly needed to earn money because “he has struggled of late to pay his child support and other child related expenses.”
“Before he was arrested Mr. Kelly had signed a contract to perform between 3-5 shows in Dubai, UAE, in April 2019,” the court filing read. “He requests permission to travel to Dubai for the shows. While there he is supposed to meet with the royal family.”
