R&B singer R. Kelly has walked out of a Chicago jail after a $161,000 child support payment was made on his behalf.
Cook County sheriff's spokeswoman Sophia Ansari said Kelly was released Saturday after someone paid the back child support for him. She did not know who made the payment.
It came three days after a judge ordered Kelly jailed until he paid the total amount he owed by that date.

It is currently unknown who paid the total amount so that he could walk free
'I promise you we are going to straighten all of this out, that's all I can say right now. I promise you,' the embattled singer told reporters as he left the Cook County jail. He also stated that he loved his fans.
Fans could be heard screaming for R. Kelly as he left, with one woman even asking him to touch her hand and others shouting that he is still the 'King of R&B'.
The singer was taken into custody during a hearing over the child support on Wednesday. His next hearing is scheduled for next Wednesday.
The man to Kelly's right (who has not been identified) was said to have driven Kelly away from the jail

His publicist Darryll Johnson said the singer came to the hearing prepared to pay $50,000 to $60,000, but the judge wanted the whole amount.
He said Kelly did not have the whole amount because he has not been able to work.
On Wednesday, Kelly gave an astonishing interview to CBS where he protested his innocence, cried and wept.
He even appeared to be physically restrained during the animated outburst, in which he vehemently denied all allegations against him.

Attorney Steve Greenberg speaks to the media after Kelly had left the scene
'Quit playing, I didn’t do this stuff,' the pop singer tearfully told Gayle King of CBS News on Tuesday.
‘This is not me. I’m fighting for my f*****g life.’

In the TV interview aired on Thursday, Kelly asked: 'How can I pay child support if my ex-wife is destroying my name and I can't work?'
Kelly also told CBS that people had stolen money from his bank accounts. He offered no further details.
Kelly was indicted on February 22 in a Chicago courtroom on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against four victims, three of whom were underage at the time the alleged crimes were committed.
If convicted, he could face a maximum prison sentence of 70 years - 7 years for each count.
Kelly spent a weekend in jail after his arrest last month and wasn't freed until a 47-year-old suburban Chicago business owner - Valencia Love - posted his $100,000 bail.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
