Though that bank account has been drained, Kelly is said to have two other bank accounts with Bank of America.
One of those accounts held $44,595.58 and the other had $110,056.64.

Kelly has $625 left between the two Bank of America accounts, according to The Blast.
The landlord was awarded $173,000 from the suit and subpoenas were sent to Sony Music, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and multiple banks.
According to The Blast, Kelly is not owed any money by the ASCAP, which collects money for artists.
