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

R.Kelly has been acquitted of all 14 child pornography charges on Friday afternoon (June 13th) in Chicago. This ends a 6 year ordeal for him.

Prosecutors claimed that a video tape sent into the Chicago Sun Time showed Kelly having sex with a 13 year old girl. Kelly and the girl (now 23) both denied they were the ones on tape, neither testified trial.

When the verdict was announced Kelly wiped his face with a handkerchief and his attorneys, on the way out of the courthouse his fans cheered his name as he drove away in a SUV.

A fan of R.Kelly has been arrested for interrupting the court, where his trial is going on. The fan who snuck into courthouse was waiting by elevator which is used by jury member when she shouted “Free R. Kelly” repeatedly.

She was put into handcuffs and brought before Judge Vincent Vaughan. The judge has set her bail for $50,000.

After establishing that the jury could not hear the fan, the trial continued. I hope R.Kelly pays for her bail.
