Barely hours after his emotional outpour in an interview with CBS News, embattled R&B singer R Kelly has been re-arrested in Chicago over unpaid child support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is coming barely two weeks after the singer was released on a $100,000 bail, having been indicted on ten counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had spent three nights in jail before meeting the bail terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The singer, being investigated after numerous allegations of sexual abuse and paedophilia were levelled against him, was arraigned in court regarding $161, 633 child support he owes his ex-wife, Andrea Kelly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following R Kelly\u2019s proclamation of his inability to pay the said sum owed to his ex-wife, the singer was taken into police custody and arrested on Wednesday, March 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Sophia Ansari, spokesperson of the Cook County Sheriff\u2019s office, R Kelly would remain in jail until he pays the said sum while his next court hearing is fixed for March 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The singer\u2019s publicist,Darryl Johnson, said he was prepared to pay between $50,000 and $60,000 during the court hearing but the judge had requested the full amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Johnson said the sum wasn\u2019t available because the singer has not been able to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the sexual abuse trial started, R. Kelly\u2019s recording contract has been cancelled and he has been the target of a boycott campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
