R Kelly has sought the help of an LA judge to ensure that he receives $3.4million (£1.9 million) in unpaid fees from his former tour promoter.

The R&B star was granted the award against Georgia-based Rowe Entertainment last month. However, the fees remain unpaid and court papers have now been submitted, reports The Associated Press.

An arbitrator agreed with claims made on behalf of Kelly's company R Kelly Touring that Rowe Entertainment and owner Leonard Rowe failed to pay him in full for shows scheduled for late last year and early 2008.

A Chicago jury acquitted Kelly of child pornography charges in June.
