R. Kelly's sexual abuse charges ain't stopping the bag! The singer is still making his money in his hometown from club gigs, bringing home $22,000.

Kelly recently had a club appearance in Dirty South Lounge in Springfield, Illinois. The R&B icon was interacting with the minor crowd in which he sung a little of his classic song "Bump N' Grind."

According to TMZ , "the embattled singer was paid $22k for his 1-hour appearance . We're told Kelly pocketed $20k, and paid his booking agent $2k."

In addition, R. Kelly did not have to sing for the crowd.

Only 50 people showed up for the singer, which tells how small the crowd was.

R. Kelly is in great need for the money because of his hardship to pay child support due to trail for 10 counts of criminal sexual abuse to minor girls.
