Journalist Will Lee posted a tweet today (24th Feb) stating:

"A court clerk just told me their office was receiving calls from female #RKelly fans wanting to know how to post bail for him," he wrote. "The love is real, I guess."

On Saturday (23rd Feb) at R. Kelly's bail hearing, his bond was reportedly set at $1 million by Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr., who described the allegations made against Kelly as “disturbing.”

However, only $100,000 of this $1 million needs to be paid for R. Kelly to be released from custody ahead of his trial.

The "King of R&B" allegedly is unable to pay for the bond due to his financial circumstance. This has taken social media by storm as people assume superstar R. Kelly could "easily" pay $100,000.

R. Kelly's lawyer revealed that his client was not in possession of the funds required to be released due to "mismanagement," "hangers-on" and "bad deals."

R. Kelly's lawyer Steve Greenberd adds that "He's trying to get it together,". He also states "He doesn't have it sitting in the bank" on behalf of R. Kelly.

R. Kelly has allegedly struggled to pay his child support fees, according to court documents reviewed by CNN.

The CNN report states:

"Kelly owed more than $169,000 in unpaid child support to his ex-wife as of February 6.The court ordered Kelly to make a monthly payment of $20,833 on January 8, 2009, but Kelly failed to show up to that hearing, per court documents. To avoid being held in contempt of court, a judge ordered he pay $161,663 by March 6.

Greenberg told CNN his client "does not have to pay the child support before getting out."

"The state is trying to make him do that, or they were," Greenberg said, "but the judge said no."

R. Kelly's Chicago studio is reportedly facing eviction due to unpaid rent. The singer allegedly owes over $166,000.

Currently, Kelly is facing ten counts of felony criminal sexual abuse and could possibly spend up to 70 years in prison. Fans who want to pay for R. Kelly's bond are receiving backlash on Twitter.
