R. Kelly Boots Ne-Yo from Tour

More drama unfolds with R. Kelly as R&B singer Ne-Yo was suddenly removed from Kelly's latest tour. Kelly's camp cited the lack of a signed contract as the reason for Ne-Yo getting dumped.

Ne-Yo's camp issued a press release about the incident earlier this week, saying Ne-Yo "expressed genuine concern regarding not having the opportunity to complete the tour."

Kelly has been known to have tour trouble. In 2004, he and Jay-Z's conjoined tour came to a halt after Kelly was blasted with pepper spray by a member of Jay-Z's entourage. Jay later said that R. Kelly was a weepy, emotional wreck, prone to crying fits during the duration of their tour. Just recently, Kelly's longtime publicist resigned, citing serious "lines being crossed" as the cause of the split. Somebody is a straight-up diva -- and it ain't Ne-Yo!

R. Kelly is an idiot who doesn't want to share the spotlight. He is doing a disservice to his fans.

It seems that after 16 years of hits there are still some Kelly doubters. “The R” doesn’t need Jay-Z or Ne-Yo to continue his musical mission. I actually gained more respect for him after the piss incident because the hits kept comin. The industry is lucky to have him.

It's obvious Neyo didn't handle his business by signing a contract. How the hell you gonna on tour and not have sign contract. Kellz was doing him a favor by allowing him to tour without a contact while Neyo people handle the legal ranglings. If anything Neyo drop the ball. Kellz don't need Neyo!!! Kellz been in the business too long so how is he hating.
