After just a handful of shows, R. Kelly's current outing is already surrounded by drama. According to Ne-Yo's manager, Tango, the R&B sensation was informed that his services were no longer needed and was asked to leave the tour.
"I don't understand their actions because I was rehearsing, doing media, promoting the tour, and performing," Ne-Yo told SOHH.com. "In my opinion, I was doing everything possible to make the tour a success. I love being on stage in front of fans because of the immediate feedback you get. You know right away if they are feeling you; and they were really feeling our show." He added, "To my fans and ticket holders -- I apologize if you are disappointed."
R. Kelly's camp claims there was never a deal in place that guaranteed Ne-Yo a permanent spot in the lineup. In the meantime, Kelly, Keyshia Cole and J. Holiday will continue to support their recent releases 'Double Up,' 'Just Like You' and 'Bac of My Lac,' respectively.
