US singer R Kelly and the Sony‑owned RCA record label have ended working relationship, US media report.

Variety website quoted a source as saying no official announcement of the decision was planned.

The reported split follows decades of sexual abuse allegations brought against the 52‑year‑old Grammy‑winning artist, all of which he denies.

The allegations were subject of a documentary, Surviving R Kelly, released earlier this month.

The six‑part documentary focuses on the women who have accused the singer of sexual misconduct over the years.

It also details the relationship in 1994 between the late singer Aaliyah and R Kelly, who married him when she was 15 and he was 27.

Despite being one of the most successful R&B artists in history, Kelly has been plagued by accusations of sexual misconduct since the 1990s.

In 2008 R Kelly stood trial on charges of making a sex tape with an under‑age female but was found not guilty.

In July 2018, R Kelly released a 19‑minute song called I Admit, which responded to the allegations.

The track admitted to infidelity but denied claims of paedophilia and non‑consensual sex.
