Lisa Alter, a top music attorney who specializes in copyright law, indicated to Rolling Stone that Kelly may benefit and actually get extra coins, as a result of being dropped from the RCA Record label. Attorney Alter stated:
“If the label had a contractual obligation to release additional material and didn’t want to do it, it might make a financial settlement with the artist, because otherwise they could be potentially sued by the artist for that loss of income.”
Should Kelly Be Benefitting In This Way?
Even with the lasting criticism, and numerous people on social media timelines swearing up and down they don’t rock with the R&B singer anymore, Don Russell, advisor and consultant for Kelly, alluded to Rolling Stone that Kelly has continued to secure the bag, as several record labels have expressed interest in working with him.
