Sony Music Drops R. Kelly The singer has been involved in scandal for more than two decades over accusations of sexual misconduct, including pedophilia. The recent documentary, 'Surviving R. Kelly,' has prompted calls for the company to drop him. He was removed from the RCA Records website on Friday. Sony Music is the parent company of RCA. Representatives from both companies have declined to comment. Insiders say Sony has been working for months to terminate the contract with Kelly. He was charged and cleared of child pornography in the early 2000s. In recent years, he's been accused of holding women captive in a "sex cult." Kelly has consistently maintained his innocence.
