R. Kelly Owes Over $800K In Taxes

R. Kelly's medical hiatus from performing seems to have come at the wrong time financially. The Chicago crooner reportedly owes over $837,000 in delinquent federal taxes, according to records recently obtained by DETNEWS. The IRS filed an $837, 442.59 lien against the singer on January 6.

Kellz recently had his debt to Uncle Sam lightened when the IRS lifted a $1,036,858 tax against him last month, but still has the $837K tab.

The singer also faces possible foreclosure on his $2.9 million Chicago mansion.

As previously reported, Robert was rushed to the hospital for an emergency throat surgery. He was released following the procedure and will take a break from performing to heal.
