According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. shut down rumors that the “Ignition” singer’s three Grammys have been revoked, although he was just convicted on sex trafficking charges. “I think it’s something that we’re going to need to take a good hard look at, have a lot of conversations about, work through and make a decision,” Mason said.
Back in 1997, Kelly won Grammys in three separate categories for “I Believe I Can Fly,” the hit single from the Space Jam soundtrack.
Following his conviction, his music sales reportedly soared tremendously.
The 12 Play singer saw “double-digit growth” in streams and “triple-digit growth” in sales, according to Rolling Stone. From Sept. 27 to Oct. 3, Kelly’s on-demand audio plays grew by 22 percent, while his video streams increased by 23 percent compared to the previous week. His album sales surged by 517 percent and his streams jumped from 11.2 million to 13.4 million.
R. Kelly was reportedly put on suicide watch after his conviction.
His lawyer, however, confirmed days later that he had been removed from the categorization.
