Kelly’s two former associates were accused of fixing the 2008 trial but were reportedly acquitted of all charges.
In a high-profile trial last year, Kelly was found guilty of using his celebrity status to sexually abuse women and children over two decades.
In June this year, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
It has been reported the jury deliberated for 11 hours before reaching their verdict, on Wednesday.
R Kelly, whose full name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, has been in custody since July 2019.
He had pleaded not guilty to all charges and repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
The singer-songwriter is still facing other sexual abuse charges in Illinois and prostitution and solicitation charges in Minnesota.
