R. KELLY has ended his neighbourhood feud – after dropping his lawsuit on the community for blocking his move to build a guard house outside his mansion.

The I BELIEVE I CAN FLY singer will also pay the village of Olympia Fields, Chicago more than $20,000 to cover attorney fees and code-violation fines.

The neighbourhood doesn’t allow guard shacks, but Kelly filed a lawsuit arguing he should be granted an exception to the strict village code because of his status as “a nationally known, Grammy Award-winning recording artist.”

But he has since had a change of heart. His attorney JOHN TOUHY says, “Robert Kelly wants to be a good neighbour.”
