There's always drama whenever R.Kelly goes out on tour. The troubled singer who is currently awaiting trial on child pornography charges for videotaping sex acts with a minor, has dropped Ne-Yo from the tour.
According to a press release, Shaffer Smith aka Ne-Yo was informed that he was being dropped from the rest of the R Kelly tour after delivering two sensational performances. Entertainment reporters, music critics, bloggers, fans, and concert goers all agreed that Ne-Yo's performances brought the heat; but maybe it brought too much heat.
"He's written hit songs for Beyonce "Irreplaceable" and Rihanna "Unfaithful" (spending a combined 19 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100), said Tango, Ne-Yo's business partner and manager. He's written songs slated to be on Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Lionel Richie, and Enrique Iglesias' new albums. In a recent article in Ebony Magazine, the king of pop, Michael Jackson, referred to him as one of the artists that impresses him most. The fans were really feeling his performances. He's good; maybe he's too good – that's the problem.
R.Kelly's camp sited the lack of a signed contract as the reason Ne-Yo was dropped. "I don't understand their actions because I was rehearsing, doing media, promoting the tour, and performing", said Ne-Yo. "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."
The R. Kelly Tour continues with Keyshia Cole and J. Holiday.
