By early Friday, nearly 22,000 people had signed the online petition, the motto of which is "Don't give sexual offenders a stage."
The petition calls for concerts planned in Ludwigsburg in southern Germany on April 12 and in the northern port city of Hamburg on April 14 to be cancelled due to allegations of sexual misconduct against the artist.
In a six-part documentary series aired on Lifetime in the United States, Kelly is accused of manipulating women and controlling their lives, in addition to numerous accusations of sexual misconduct.
The singer has rejected the allegations.
Whether the protest will be effective remains to be seen. The concert organizers were not available for comment.
A municipal official in Hamburg told dpa that a binding contract had been signed for the 7,000-seat venue Hamburger Sporthalle for April 14. It was up to the German agency organizing the concerts to decide whether the concert should go ahead.
