Following a bail hearing<\/a> Saturday, R. Kelly<\/a> spent a second night in jail after the singer failed to pay the $100,000 needed to bond out prior to his trial.<\/p>\n

Kelly turned himself in to Chicago police Friday night after being charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse<\/a>. The singer remained behind bars that night awaiting Saturday\u2019s bond hearing, with the judge handing down a $1 million bail; Kelly only needed to pay 10 percent, or $100,000, in order to be released.<\/p>\n

However, Kelly\u2019s attorney Steven Greenberg told media Saturday that the singer\u2019s finances were \u201ca mess,\u201d the Chicago Sun-Times<\/em> reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s trying to get it together,\u201d Greenberg said, adding that Kelly has struggled for money since his record label dropped him. \u201cHe\u2019s trying to get it together \u2026 he doesn\u2019t have it sitting in the bank, sitting in a shoe box, sitting anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is someone who should be wealthy,\u201d Greenberg said (via WGN9<\/a>). \u201cI don\u2019t even think he owns the rights to \u2018I Believe I Can Fly.’\u201d Kelly ultimately spent Saturday night in custody.<\/p>\n

Kelly had another opportunity to pay his bond Sunday morning at 9 a.m. CST, but it\u2019s unclear whether he did or remains in custody; the Cook County Sheriff \u2018s Office inmate database<\/a> shows Kelly as still behind bars. His next court date is February 25th, when he\u2019ll reportedly be assigned a judge and enter a plea.<\/p>\n

In a press conference Saturday, State\u2019s Attorney Kim Foxx detailed the charges against Kelly, with the 10 counts drawn from his encounters with four women, three of whom were underage at the time. Two of the alleged victims provided authorities with evidence that potentially contains Kelly\u2019s DNA, reportedly his semen.<\/p>\n
