R. Kelly has been dragged into a massive investigation in South Africa -- but the singer claims he's the victim of a grifter gone mad.
It all started when a woman accused of scamming more than 50 people out of tons of money claimed Kelly played a part in the plot.
She allegedly conned her victims into investing money in an R. Kelly tour that never existed. The woman reportedly says she deposited the money into Kelly's bank account.
She's been charged with more than 60 counts of fraud -- and Kelly is wanted for questioning.
Kelly is vehemently denying involvement -- his publicist said:
"The woman has no connection at all with R. Kelly. This is just some con woman who swindled a bunch of people out of money. R. Kelly had no knowledge of this, he's just as upset as anyone."

Jennifer Lopez's biggest asset is no longer her amazing booty ... it's her massive bling.
The 39-year-old mother of two showed off her ginormous rock in Hollywood yesterday.
Rumors that the ring weighs more than Marc Anthony are not true.

One of them is aging gracefully.
We're just sayin'.

Beyonce's dad is on the warpath against the people attacking his daughter for the supposed "board mix" audio of B singing at "The Today Show" -- claiming all doubters of her ability are "idiots."
In a fiery statement to TMZ, Mathew Knowles, who's also Bey's manager, says his daughter was set up. It's one of the best statements we've ever gotten.
"If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them.
If no one took the time to listen to Beyonce sing 'America the Beautiful' and 'At Last' at the Neighborhood Ball for the first dance of President Obama and the First Lady, and they question Beyonce's vocal ability, they've gotta be an idiot.
At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability.
That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered."

The only thing more preposterous than Lady GaGa's outfit is the fact she walked down the street in London holding her cup of tea.
S-s-s-saucer face!
