YouTube and members of the Black community may have distanced themselves from R. Kelly, but the Grammy Awards seem to be singing a different tune—at least for the time being.

Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said Kelly’s acts were indeed “disturbing,” but the fallen R&B singer’s Grammys will not be taken away following his guilty conviction on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, per Chicago Sun-Times.

“I think it’s something that we’re going to need to take a good hard look at, have a lot of conversations about, work through and make a decision,” said Mason, per Chicago Sun-Times. “My initial feeling is we’re probably not a business that we want to be in of taking people’s awards back after they’ve been given. But we’ll take a good look at it and see.” 

Kelly was nominated for his first Grammy Award in 1995 as a producer on Michael Jackson’s Past, Present, And Future Book I and for his work on the track “You Are Not Alone.” 

In 1997, he won his first three Grammy Awards for his hit “I Believe I Can Fly,” which was featured on the movie Space Jam and changed the soundtrack of graduations nationwide. 

In September, Kelly was convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking in connection with Mann Act breaches. He was found guilty of enticing and coercing a minor, as well as luring a juvenile to participate in sexual behavior and recording it. He was also found guilty of threatening minors with physical violence in order to secure sexual services. 

Kelly will next be stepping into a Chicago court room to face child pornography, sexual abuse and obstruction of justice charges in light of allegations from 25 years ago.
