R Kelly and Sony have finally decided to part ways, breaking nearly a three-decade partnership, reports said. The record company had been under immense pressure to drop the singer over decades of sexual abuse allegations brought against the 52-year-old Grammy-winning artist, all of which he denies.
Kelly had signed with Jive back in 1991 and recorded albums under Sony subsidiaries including Epic and RCA. His profile has been removed from both the RCA and Sony websites. .
This happened hours after one of the first women to file a lawsuit against R Kelly for sexual abuse broke her silence for the first time.
