R. Kelly's big brother, Bruce Kelly, has filed documents with the state labor board (in the State of Illinois) after working for the famous singer for three months, and not seeing a dime.

Bruce Kelly claims that he started working as younger Kelly's assistant and driver back in March. He says they had a verbal agreement of $700/week. Bruce says he worked 144 hours/week, and had to wait for up to 12 hours in the car for R. Kelly, losing sleep, and never seeing any payments. Bruce says he spoke to his brother about the $11,000 he was reportedly owed, but R. Kellz gave no fucks. Bruce says that after three months he quit, because he was "not working for nobody, not even his brother, for free."

The labor board is currently investigating Bruce Kelly's claims.
