Ne-Yo Wins Lawsuit
Ne-Yo was awarded over $700,000 in a lawsuit against R Kelly after being dropped from a tour.
The pair were set to tour North America together in 2007 but after two shows Ne-Yo was asked to leave, he claims he was dropped from the tour because “fans and critics preferred his performance” to R Kelly’s.
At the time the lawsuit was filed Ne-Yo said Jive Records’ allegation that contract problems had caused his exit were “absolutely false“.
To which he added “I believe it was because the first few reviews of the show, people were talking more about my set than his and I don’t think he liked that too much,”
Ne-Yo was paid $50,000 for the two shows he did pay , the suit said he was still owed $735,000

Mike Belgrove Says:
My boy C-Hyphen put me onto the whole R.Kelly/Ne-Yo lawsuit over on Highbrid Nation and I kinda wanted to just see what others were saying.
It seems to me that Ne-Yo was better off getting kicked off the tour. Got all the money and didn’t have to work for it. But what’s with Kelly? How come this guy is always having issues on tours. Remembers the mace in the eyes things when he was on tour with Jay-Z?
