R. Kelly's Music Royalties Garnished $500K To Settle Victim Restitutions

R. Kelly's owes more than half a million bucks in restitution to his victims but they’ll be getting a big check soon thanks to his old hits a judge signed an order garnishing the embattled singer's royalties as it was discovered Universal Music Group is holding a bunch of his royalties so the company will now cut a check to cover Kelly’s restitution bill. The order says Kelly's outstanding restitution balance is $506,950.26, and UMG just so happens to be sitting on 567,444.19 of his royalties more than enough to settle the debt. Although his back catalog apparently still generates plenty of money, Kelly hasn’t had as much success with music recently.
