If there’s one bank that could not be characterized as a playa-hata, that bank would be JPMorgan Chase. Having said that, the House of Dimon has been forced to deliver the less than stellar news that R. Kelly may soon need to get out of his house, on account of the fact that the R&B singer hasn’t made any mortgage payments on the 11,140-square-foot spread in over a year.

Lest you think the decision not to pay his mortgage wasn’t entirely tactical, rest assured, it was, and everything is going according to plan.

The singer stopped making payments on the mortgage in an attempt to force the bank to negotiate a modification of the loan, according to the source.

To that end, RK may also have decided to withhold payment on the house for the same reason he didn’t compensate his representation for services rendered, which is that the cash has been earmarked as hush money, as Kelly has a reputation to protect.

Last month, Mr. Kelly was hit with a $1-million lawsuit in Los Angeles by his former management firm, Prospect Park LLC. The firm alleges that Mr. Kelly withheld commissions because the money was “needed instead to ‘pay off’ various individuals threatening to expose alleged illicit, embarrassing and unlawful conduct by Kelly, including sexual misconduct,” according to Prospect’s complaint, which was filed in Los Angeles County Court.

Anyway, according to the foreclosure action filed by JPM, Robert owes $2.9 million, plus unpaid interest accruing at $251 a day. Should he not have the scratch, here are the details on what could/should potentially become Dimon’s Chi-town crash pad.

The home was constructed in the south suburb 11 years ago by Mr. Kelly, whose hits have included “I Believe I Can Fly,” “Bump N Grind” and “Ignition.” The two-story house sits behind an imposing gate on a 3.7-acre site. The structure features six full bathrooms, seven half-baths and a four-car garage, according to the Cook County Assessor’s website.

    Jamie Dimon gunna hate, my fans are gunna love. I don’t even want none of the above. I want to piss on you. Yes I do. I’ll piss on you; I’ll pee on you….

    At least he didn’t get an interest-only, payment skipping/minimum-payment-option-enabled,
    negatively amortizing, no-money-down,
    prepayment-penalizing, 1-month LIBOR 30-year ARM

    It’s pretty hard to foreclose on a homeowner who is trapped in a closet.

    Say what you will about his fiscal sense, R. Kelly has the bladder of a camel god.

    R. Kelly needs to merge with Jeff Epstein, a bucket of urine, the incredible-edible egg, a JPM representative, and a video camera in order to survive.

    Listen, the interest-only, payment skipping/minimum-payment-option-enabled, 
    negatively amortizing, no-money-down, 
    prepayment-penalizing, 1-month LIBOR 30-year ARM 
    with a balloon is a fantastic mortgage product that allows anyone to join the ranks of homeowners and truly experience the American Dream. Expanding homeownership is a wonderful thing, and there is virtually zero chance of these debtors defaulting.

    Saw a two people fighting in the streets yesterday and a fat white kid recording them. When one of the guys noticed, he charged the kid and said “Yo Ni**a im realz hood what you doin Im HOOD!” and proceeded to steal and break the kids phone. 

    RKelly could take a lesson from this guy the next time someone records him pissing on minors. He could skip the court battle and maybe keep his street cred, prolly not but maybe.
