New Female Fans

Keep in mind Kelly is still getting paid for his past work as well, which totals some 681 songs. According to Nielsen, since the the finale of Surviving R. Kelly aired, Kelly’s back-catalog streams shot up as much as 116 percent. And as twisted and cringy as it may be, Kelly has even gained some young new female fans who stupidly state they wish they could be apart of his alleged sex cult.

Whether critics want to admit it or not, people live for scandal. It’s human nature and because of that, R. Kelly is likely making exactly as much money as he was before, if not a lot more.
