Singer R. Kelly, who is facing felony sex abuse charges, has begged the media to take it easy on him.
Kelly, 52, in a video posted to his Instagram account on Saturday said:
‘Yo this your boy Kells and I got an event to do tonight in Springfield Illinois, so I want the media to take it easy on me man’.
‘This is how I got to get paid for right now,’ he continued, explaining his predicament after twice relying on friends to post his bail in recent weeks.
‘So I gotta go do this event, and it’s a party. So if you see me in the club, with a couple of drinks in my hand, and chilling, please, take it easy. Appreciate it y’all, thanks,’ he concluded.

Robert Sylvester Kelly was charged with ten counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in February. He has pleaded not guilty and is free on a $1 million bond.
R. Kelly’s been stuck between a rock and a hard place financially these past couple months, with people having to put up major dough not once but TWICE to get him out of jail. He’s partially blamed his ex-wife for hindering his ability to make a living.
