R. Kelly Gives Ne-Yo the Boot

After just a handful of shows, R. Kelly's current outing is already surrounded by drama. According to Ne-Yo's manager, Tango, the R&B sensation was informed that his services were no longer needed and was asked to leave the tour.

"I don't understand their actions because I was rehearsing, doing media, promoting the tou, and performing," Ne-Yo told SOHH.com. "In my opinion, I was doing everything possible to make the tour a success. I love being on stage in front of fans because of the immediate feedback you get. You know right away if they are feeling you; and they were really feeling our show." He added, "To my fans and ticket holders -- I apologize if you are disappointed."

R. Kelly's camp claims there was never a deal in place that guaranteed Ne-Yo a permanent spot in the lineup. In the meantime, Kelly, Keyshia Cole and J. Holiday will continue to support their recent releases 'Double Up,' 'Just Like You' and 'Bac of My Lac,' respectively.

HE WAS PROBALLY GETTING BIGGER THAN R KELLY WRITING BETTER SONGS. HE HAS NO COMPIETION FROM KEYSHIA COLE. AND J HOLIDAY IS NEW AND PREFORMING SONGS WRITTEN BY THE DREAM NO THREAT.

Ne-Yo Explains His Exit From R. Kelly Tour

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

One week into R&B superstar R. Kelly’s tour there’s already troubles, and if what Ne-Yo says is happening backstage is true, there could be more.

Atlanta’s R&B singer-songwriter abruptly left the “Double Up” tour this week - leaving fellow local talents Keyshia Cole and J Holiday on the bill - “and it ain’t because I did something wrong, I’ll tell you that much,” he told the nationally-syndicated Russ Parr Morning Show Wednesday. (Though it doesn’t air here, Hot-107.9’s “A Team Morning Show” ran the audio minutes later).

“The PC terms that I’m being told to use [are] that we couldn’t come to a fair contractual agreement,” Ne-Yo said. “Basically, the way it goes is this: My people are going in fighting with R. Kelly over stuff that anybody else would just give me. And it’s not like I’m asking for anything crazy. For example, the first show, Columbus, Ga. …This man took all seven dressing rooms and told me to get dressed on my bus.”

“Can’t nobody be in the hallway when he walks through - just little silly stuff like that…As an artist, I have the utmost respect for that man. You can’t take away from the fact that he’s a musical genius. But as a person, as a person, I can’t lie, I lost a little respect for him on this one.”

Fuck 'em. Thats what he gets for affiliating with a child rapist. The guy is notorious for and has been videotaped fucking AND peeing on underaged black girls and Neo goes on tour with him. The guy says he needs the dressing rooms and the hallways to be clear and Neo starts to lose "a little" respect for him?!?

Fuck you Neo. You deserve whatever Robert does to you.

btw- Your head is fucked up.
