\"attorney\"R. Kelly<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0avoided another trip to the slammer \u2026 by ponying up ALL of the back child support he owed to his ex-wife, Drea Kell<\/strong>y<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The disgraced singer appeared in court Wednesday in Cook County and forked over $62k. He currently is supposed to pay just over $20k per month to Drea. Wednesday\u2019s payment covers March, April and May.<\/p>\n

\"Cook<\/p>\n

Kelly\u2019s Crisis Manager, Darrell Johnson<\/strong>, tells TMZ that after paying the principal balance of the child support, his client has also put June, July, and August payments in an escrow account, and he \u201cnow looks forward to clearing his name in and being cleared of all charges in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, during Wednesday\u2019s child support hearing \u2026 Kelly was informed he still owes Drea $32k in interest on child support.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Drea is now requesting he cover educational expenses for their 21-year-old daughter, Joann<\/strong> \u2026 who goes by Buku Abi<\/strong>. Kelly\u2019s attorney asked the court for proof that she\u2019s enrolled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As we reported \u2026 Kelly was sprung from jail<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0back in March after a benefactor covered<\/strong><\/a> his $161,633 tab for back child support.\u00a0After he was released, Kelly went back to court to ask the judge to lower the $20k<\/strong><\/a> amount, claiming he could no longer afford it.<\/p>\n

That hearing was scheduled for Wednesday but in the meantime \u2026 he\u2019s still on the hook for $20k+ per month.<\/p>\n

Problem was \u2026 Kelly\u00a0fell behind AGAIN<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on child support payments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As we first reported \u2026 Kelly stopped writing checks<\/strong><\/a> after claiming his ex trashed him to their kids \u2026 the move that ultimately landed him in Cook County jail.<\/p>\n

Kelly later booked a 1-hour nightclub gig in Illinois last month that earned him $22k<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 which Drea was totally cool with<\/strong><\/a> for obvious reasons \u2014 but as it turned out, he never forked over the dough to get square with her.<\/p>\n

Of course, child support\u2019s only ONE of Kelly\u2019s worries these days as he waits to stand trial on 10 counts<\/strong><\/a> of aggravated criminal sexual abuse involving underage girls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
