The intensified effort to get everyone that matters to take R.Kelly off their good books reached another height today. As reported by Billboard, Sony and R. Kelly have reportedly agreed to part ways amidst a slew of sexual misconduct allegations. This comes a few weeks after the explosive documentary Surviving R. Kelly aired, which chronicled the musician’s highly-discussed history involving teenage girls and women.

The source reveals to Vibe Magazine, “Kelly had been signed to Jive since the beginning of his career in the early 1990s, and when Jive became part of Sony BMG, he became part of the Sony umbrella. He has been under contract at RCA, a Sony subsidiary, since 2012.” Protests calling for Sony to drop the Pied Piper of R&B took place outside of the company’s Manhattan offices on Wednesday16th of January
