R. Kelly has allegedly been struggling with cash flow since his rise in legal troubles in the last few months. Now, the singer has taken to Instagram to address the media, who he asked to “take it easy” on him.

Kelly said he had an event to do in Springfield, Illinois and that this was the way he is making his money at the moment. He pointed out that the event is in a club, so if the media sees him with a drink in his hand relaxing, take it easy on him. Watch the clip above.
