owes Uncle Sam nearly $2 million ... and that's exactly why he says he would NOT be a flight risk if he gets released from jail due to the pandemic.
The singer's lawyers filed legal docs arguing Kelly owes a whopping $1,878,737.43 to the IRS to bolster their stance that he can't really skip town should he be released from Chicago MCC. Kelly's in the middle of his second request to get out to avoid catching COVID-19 behind bars. As we first reported ... prosecutors insist R. Kelly has the means to escape the country, claiming he's already madejust this year. But, Kelly's lawyers argue those royalties are likely the gross amount before agents and other people take their cuts. Plus, he says the huge IRS tax lien means the singer doesn't really have access to this money anyway.
They also argue any money he DOES have can be restricted by the feds as condition of his release from jail. Kelly's lawyers also point out while the feds were building a case against him, the singer"made absolutely no attempt to flee" and"never once failed to appear" in court.to contract COVID-19 while behind bars. His lawyers say things have gotten exponentially worse behind bars in just the last few days ... with cases DOUBLING not just for inmates, but staff too.
All the more reason to be a flight risk.
I got gas today for $1.99. Unfortunately it was Taco 🌮 Bell !!
Shit, this meme took over 2 decades to come together💀
GM: His lawyer should be moving to stop any interest or fees on this debt because he can’t work 2/2 to being held. He should be released & allowed to work until trial. I’m sad for him from a business perspective, he needed a good team and didn’t have one. The story of their lives

That absolutely means he’s a flight risk
No! But he's still a DANGER TO TEENAGE GIRL'S!
