R.Kelly dumps Ne-Yo from tour; Ne-Yo alleges jealousy and sues; so nerr

rkelly R.Kelly dumps Ne Yo from tour; Ne Yo alleges jealousy and sues; so nerr R.Kelly doesn’t seem to get on with tour partners, does he? Remember when he had a falling out with Jay-Z a few years back during their “Best Of Both Worlds” tour? Well, this time newish R&B superstar Ne-Yo is a little unhappy with Mr.”Trapped In The Closet”.
Ne-Yo was chucked off Kelly’s latest tour after failing to meet “contractual obligations”, which is pretty vague and, given R’s legal difficulties over the years, encourages one’s imagination to run riot.

Ne-Yo has responded by claiming that he was in fact dismissed from the tour for good old-fashioned jealousy. “I believe it was because the first few reviews of the show, people were talking more about my set than his,” he reckons.
Now he’s filed a lawsuit claiming he’s owed $735,000, which seems rather a lot of dough considering he only did two nights’ work, but what do I know. Maybe some of that is emotional distress money for stuff he witnessed backstage.
