The Greatest Musician of all time Mr. R Kelly - The R in R&B - ameanza kufilisika. Ameshindwa kufanya malipo aliyokopa kununua Nyumba yake iliyokuwa na thamani ya dola million 5 na sasa benki wamenyang"aanya nyumba na wako kwenye procedure za kuiuza kwa less tha 1 million dollars. Daah - Mzee wa " hit it hard from the back, all around to the front. I know you've heard a lot of tracks. But twelve play is what you want. Let me just call the studio. So we can go all nite. Girl i hope you can hang cause i am horny as hell tonight."
Back in the 1990s, when the putative King of R&B R. Kelly was still riding high on hits like "I Believe I Can Fly" and when his legal troubles mostly lay in the future, he bought himself a $1.5 million mansion in the Chicago suburb of Olympia Fields -- not to live in it, but to tear it down and build a new one.
The bizarre fate of that custom-built mansion, now badly rundown and bank-owned, in some ways holds up a cracked mirror to Kelly's own fortunes.
Once reportedly valued at more than $5 million, the home is now bank-owned -- and the price recently dropped to a staggeringly paltry $587,100.
According to the rather breathless listing, the home is "one of a kind" (a fact we won't dispute), with "an incredible amount of interior living space, over 14,500 square feet!"J.P. Morgan awarded Kelly a $3.5 million mortgage inMarch 1999.
Kelly bought the Olympia Fields property in spring 1997, razed the existing mansion in the summer, and began construction work in September 1997, the Chicago Tribune reported. It was to measure 20,000 square feet including basement, the Tribune said. The Chicago Bulls fan added a team logo to the floor in this room.
In the heyday of R. Kelly's Olympia Fields mansion, parties went late into the night (or early into the morning) and included lots of women in "various levels of clothing," according to his neighbor the mayor, who talked to the Chicago Tribune in 2006. Kelly's barking dogs were unlicensed, his guard shack unpermitted, and tour buses and trailers crowded the driveway, neighbors told the newspaper
In 2011, the bank sued Kelly, saying he still owed almost $3 million on his mortgage. He had stopped making payments in the hope of forcing the bank to modify his loan, a "person familiar with his affairs" told Crain's Chicago Business, after the value of the home sank below the $3 million he owed.
