kelly. nick watt was in court, as the judge gave some instruction, and it is important to know exactly what it is, because that's what we're waiting for, whether or not he was going to give bond. what happened in court? >> he was granted bond. $250,000 on each case. four cases a million. it is what is called a d bond so he only has to put forward $100,000. his lawyer had argued for a lower amount saying his finances are a mess. that he's been dropped by his record company. that he can't afford much bail. they also offered to surrender his passport. they said contrary to the song, rfrmd kelly does not like to fly and he has no tours planned, that was the only moment of levity i would say during the entire event, because there were some grim facts put forward by the state here. remember, we have four alleged victims here. one of them, the first, it was detailed by the state, was allegedly r. kelly's hairdresser. she was waiting to do his hair. he came in and said i don't want braid my hair, he

kelly's music?r push, it's not just radio stations, it's streaming sites, it's the promote oaors, live na, sony recently dropped him. so we realize there are a lot of moving pieces in this r. kelly world, and we needed to actually stop all of those moving pieces. >> one of the most prominent pieces, i guess, fall out was in january when lady gaga released she was going to pull her duet she did with r deli back in 2013 pull it from streaming services. and when she did that she said she believes these women accusing him 1,000%. how much did someone with her gra fame, frankly, especially now with oscars coming up, how much did that play into your efforts? >> i think it was just one of many. there have been many who have stood up against r. kelly. most notably dj tom joiner who was the first large scale dj to actually divest from r. kelly. then of course you've had entertainers like john legend. even though lady gaga was just one but there were many that were integral to the down slide. >> thank you so
