Deliberations first began on Friday at a federal court in Brooklyn, New York before the panel of seven men and five women took the weekend off.
The 54-year-old singer, best known for his 1996 smash hit "I Believe I Can Fly," had pleaded not guilty to racketeering charges accusing him of sexually abusing women, girls and boys for more than two decades.
The US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York confirmed the conviction on Twitter. "R. Kelly has been convicted by a federal jury in Brooklyn," the statement read.
