R Kelly is being allowed to travel. This past weekend R Kelly attended two celebrity pool parties. A judge ordered Kelly to surrender his passport and to stay away from minors. R Kelly attended the parties in Miami, Florida but the promoters did not make a lot of money. The parties had to be stopped because of on going fights. The promoters didn't want to pay R Kelly because they felt he brought the wrong crowd and they lost money but they had to pay up because they signed a contract with R Kelly. R Kelly has to go to court on Sept. 20th to face child pornography charges.
