Kelly born Robert Sylvester Kelly, was convicted last September of nine criminal counts, including violations of the Mann Act and racketeering.

He was sentenced to 30 years in prison on June 29.

It was at the 11,455 sq. ft. property where Kelly was accused of keeping his alleged victims as part of a sex cult.

The docuseries Surviving R. Kelly detailed allegations from women who stayed there. They claimed the star made them call him "Daddy".

Others alleged he made them ask him to use the bathroom and ask him for food.

Victim Asante McGee told the BBC: "Whenever I was in my room alone, that was when I would call home to speak to my children, as when I was with Robert, he didn't want us to have our phones and have contact with the outside world.

"As soon as I moved in, he started inflicting both emotional and sexual abuse.

"No, he didn't force me to have sex with him, but he intimidated me to commit sexual acts and have threesomes with other women when I made it clear that I wasn't comfortable."

She said Kelly "controlled every aspect of my life, while I lived with him.

"Myself and two other girls who were living with him while I was there could only eat when he said we could eat.

"He even controlled when we could use the toilet or come out of our rooms."

In 2018, Kelly was served an eviction notice at the home.

He was ordered to pay more than $25,000 in past rent, the Daily Mail reported.

The Surviving R. Kelly Part II: The Reckoning documentary series chronicled the singer's alleged history of sexually abusing minors.

The docuseries featured a claim by Kelly's brother, Carey, that the star tried to bribe him $50,000 to take the rap for a "child sex tape".

Carey said he told his brother: "You ain't got enough money for me to say that's me. Because it ain't worth me selling my soul."

Kelly was acquitted in 2008 after jurors could not decide if the girl in the 27-minute tape was underage.

The original series, Surviving R Kelly, received a powerful response when it aired in January 2019.

It reignited the attention of authorities to sexual abuse allegations relating to minors that have followed the R&B star for years.

Kelly took part in a now-infamous interview with Gayle King, where he sobbed, screamed, and protested his innocence to the allegations against him.

The last installment of Surviving R. Kelly - titled The Final Chapter - will air on Monday and Tuesday night on Lifetime.

KELLY'S DOWNFALL

During his trial, prosecutors alleged he and his entourage picked out girls at concerts and groomed them for sex.

Several accusers testified in lurid detail, alleging the star subjected them to perverse and sadistic whims when they were underage.

Following the jury's verdict last September, women's rights attorney Gloria Allred, who represented several of Kelly's victims, described the musician as the worst sexual predator she had pursued in her 47-year career of practicing law.

The disgraced singer was first accused of having sex with underage girls in the 1990s, and his illegal marriage to late singer Aaliyah in '94, when she was 15 at the time.

In 2002, Kelly was indicted on child pornography charges but was acquitted in 2008 at a trial in Chicago.

It was not until the #MeToo movement renewed scrutiny of his actions that a new wave of charges arrived — and a conviction was struck in New York.

Federal prosecutors wrote in their sentencing letter that Kelly showed no remorse and, for decades, “exhibited a callous disregard” for the effects of his abuse on victims.

“He committed these crimes using his fame and stardom as both a shield, which prevented close scrutiny or condemnation of his actions,” prosecutors wrote of Kelly.

“And a sword, which gave him access to wealth and a network of enablers to facilitate his crimes, and an adoring fan base from which to cull his victims.”

Kelly faced another federal trial alongside his former employees in Illinois.

He was accused of both producing child sexual abuse material and conspiring with employees to corruptly win his 2008 acquittal.

He was found guilty on September 14 of coercing minors into criminal sexual activity and producing child sexual abuse videos.

However, he was acquitted of attempting to obstruct a prior investigation.
