R Kelly is trying to sell the publishing rights to his back catalogue, but no one wants to buy them.

The singer is currently facing an ongoing trial, on charges related to alleged crimes against five female accusers who allege physical, sexual and psychological abuse.

He will also face a number of other charges in separate trials, two in Chicago, and one state trial in Minnesota.

In 2019, it was reported that Kelly had just $625USD to his name as a result of his ongoing legal battles.

He has been living in jail for the last two years and was recently ordered to pay $4million USD to a woman who accused him of sexually abusing her when she was 16 amid other legal losses.

Now, Billboard reports that the singer is attempting to sell the publishing rights to his back catalogue, but is struggling to find a buyer, despite the songs earning an estimated $1.7millionUSD per year in the US.
