Celebrity Justice
R. Kelly Sued -- Disorder in the Court!

Posted Jan 31st 2008 2:17PM by TMZ Staff

R. Kelly ditched a big gig in Minneapolis because -- miraculously -- he had to show up for a court appearance in Chicago, and now a concert promoter wants his money back, and is trying to haul the elusive R. into an Atlanta court. Good luck with that.
R. Kelly lawsuit
In a suit filed in Atlanta District Court, the Nevada-based promoter Royalty Records (through its associate company Marjani Clothing) alleges Kelly agreed to perform at Target Center on December 6, 2007 with Ne-Yo and Keyshia Cole, among others. Then he moved the show to the 20th ... except on that day, R. got dragged into court in Chicago -- on threat of arrest.

Royalty says in the complaint that Kelly "never intended" to do the show, even though he took a $120,000 fee for it. That's the dollar amount Royalty wants, plus unspecified damages. R. Kelly's lawyer couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

No word on how many decades the case will take to bring to court.

7. R. Kelly has been a consistent concert performer. So, there shouldn't been any concerns that Kelly wouldn't perform.
Also, I do know how to count. I was rehearsing for my next gig, and Diane beat me by 12 seconds maybe,

12. R. Kelly is really only 5 years younger than OJ. Besides, OJ is suspected of murder by those who don't believe in jury trails, but OJ has never been accused of child molestation.

To you first phonies. Get a damn life. No one is really first. There has always been a person before you. You are neither the chicken or the egg.

14. If someone is arrested on the day of a court appearance - or forced to go to court - couldn't his Lawyer make an attempt to explain to the Judge about the previous engagement, and how much money was at stake

The whole suit could hinge on that
