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."
