A petition has been posted online to knock R. Kelly out of the lineup for February's Soulquarius in California.

The 49-year-old is scheduled to perform at the concert with the likes of Erykah Badu, DMX, Brandy, Monica, Ja Rule and Ashanti.

Past allegations of sex with underage girls -- Kelly was found not guilty of all charges -- sparked the petition.

 "2017 is around the corner and many of us still have to look on in disgust," the petition reads. "Stop booking this man. Stop supporting this man. 

"There's great power in having a voice. Let's send a message that the music is not 'separate' and the abuse of girls and women is *never* okay, no matter who you are or how many timeless ballads you've contributed to the world."
