BBC reports that according to the Cook County sheriff's office, the money was paid on Saturday morning and he was set free shortly afterwards.

It is unclear who made the singer's payment.

The embattled US R&B artist was last month charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, involving four alleged victims, three of whom were minors.

He pleaded not guilty to all the charges and was released on bail after spending three nights in jail. If convicted, he faces three to seven years in prison on each charge.

He was taken back into custody on Wednesday after failing to pay child support.
