Fired!
Filed under: Celebrity Feuds > R. Kelly > NeYo
Wherever R. Kelly goes, drama follows!
The accused pedophile has fired NeYo as one of the headliners on his "Double Up" tour.
R. Kelly’s camp reportedly blamed the lack of a signed contract as the reason for removing NeYo from the line up.
NeYo's publicist has released the following cryptic statement:
"Yesterday, Shaffer Smith aka Ne-Yo was informed that he was being dropped from the rest of the R Kelly tour after delivering two sensational performances. Entertainment reporters, music critics, bloggers, fans, and concert goers all agreed that Ne-Yo's performances brought the heat; but maybe it brought too much heat.
He's written hit songs for Beyonce "Irreplaceable" and Rihanna "Unfaithful" (spending a combined 19 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100), said Tango, Ne-Yo's business partner and manager. He's written songs slated to be on Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Lionel Richie, and Enrique Iglesias' new albums. In a recent article in Ebony Magazine, the king of pop, Michael Jackson, referred to him as one of the artists that impresses him most. The fans were really feeling his performances. He's good; maybe he's too good – that's the problem."
It seems like déjà vu – didn't R Kelly have drama on his last tour. R Kelly's camp sited the lack of a signed contract as the reason for removing Ne-Yo from the line up.
"I don't understand their actions because I was rehearsing, doing media, promoting the tour, and performing," said Ne-Yo. "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."
Ne-Yo expressed genuine concern regarding not having the opportunity to complete the tour. He wanted all of his fans and supporters to be able to see him live. "To my fans and ticket holders – I apologize if you are disappointed."
It's Jay-Z vs. R. Kelly all over again!
Whose side are U on? NeYo's or Kelly'????

Ne-Yo - why the hell would he want to tour with R. Kelly anyway? What a shot to his credibility. I mean, you are who you hang around with. Why would he want to hang around with a dirty, pedophile anyway.

Ne-yo…R Kelly is old and done for…
first?
Ne-Yo!
I've met him twice and he is such a down to earth guy. He is extremely talented and very entertaining to watch in concert. I don't know why R. Kelly would not want him on tour with him! its insane. R. Kelly can be so petty sometimes. Ne-Yo probably just got a bigger round of applause then Kelly did and he got his panties in a twist!!!
first?
R. Kelly is just jealous cause neyo is multi-talented and is stealing his degenerate thunder.
first?
definitely TEAM Ne-Yo!
fisrt .

i like ne-yo. he's nice singer.
neyo comes off as a really gracious person and r. kelly comes off like a nasty dirty old freak molester.
TEAM NEYO

Poor lil neyo. raping the yougnins never gets you far.
I hate R Kelly. I wish he'd fire himself from the tour. He's sucha shitbag. His music launched a revolution of stupid. I hope he gets raped to death by a wombat.
Fuck R Kelly! I'm glad Ne-Yo is nolonger associated w/ him!
Fuck R Kelly! I'm glad Ne-Yo is no longer associated w/ him!
neyo of course!
who would ever side with a pedophile meglamaniac!
I like neyo, people always have the nicest things to say about him. R. Kelly on the hand sounds like a diva who has not right to be one after all his molestations and child rapes.
TEAM NEYO!!!
NE-YO iS THe SHIT!
NeYo can do so much better then to tour with r.kelly the pedophile…
NEITHER
R. Kelly should not even be a free man right now, let alone left to his own devices to tour and rape some more little girls!
ne-YO…R.Kelly is nasty as fuck
Go Ne-yo!!! I hate R.Kelly. im so happy i saw this, i got free ticktes to show on dec 14, but now that i found this i gave them away to some guy i worked with, the only reason i was going is to see neyo!
First and foremost, all I have to say is that pic, hunnee thats a whole lotta ugly, I mean pee-yuck, but that's just R-Kelly being a DIVA a queen cannot take it when and younger up and coming queen is threatening her throne, so princess Ne-Yo had to get banished from her queendom…..fagulosity at its finest.
I went to the show when they were in Atlanta. I personally was there to see J HOLIDAY but Ne-yo gave a great show as always. He was the only artist that had waredrobe changes which I thought was weird, 4 to be exact. The guy definitely delivers at his shows. Sounds like R Kelly feels threaten by the young buck. Keshia Cole was good as well but J. HOLIDAY was the one I came to see. I still admire R Kelly musicial talent but with the whole sex tape, I always think he's talking about little girls.

{PRIZON}?

I actually met Neyo a few weeks ago and his entourage. He is very classy, nice guy with more talent than R kelly could ever wish for.
R. KELLY'S JEALOUS THAT FANS ARE MORE EXCITED ABOUT NE-YO THAN HIM!! NE-YO'S AMAZING!!
Ne-Yo all the way. Nasty pedophile RKelly is jus' jellus.
I think Kelly's just upset that NeYo scored Hayden!
Definitely NE- YO!
R. Kelly probably got rid of him after learning that 90% of the tickets sold were to see ne-yo and no one cares about r. kelly.
i can't wait for his shit to go to court - he can't go to jail soon enough
What did he expect dealing with the CHILD MOLESTER - this just makes him look like a bigger loser…
Karma's a bitch! I work at a nonprofit serving children in DFCS custody in Atlanta. Ne-Yo was supposed to do a meet-and-greet here last Thursday and he CANCELLED a few hours before the event. Our kids were SO disappointed. I'm no R.Kelly fan, but Ne-Yo clearly has issues.
I'm not on anyone's side but:
a) this press release is very poorly written - they need a publicist who can write and knows grammar
b) why would anyone agree to go on tour without a contract??? What an idiot.

NEYO FOR SUREEEE
Ne-Yo, hands down, Kelly, retire. . . go piss on someone.
NEYO ALL THE WAY!!!
NE-YO was fired because he's better than R. Kelly. Jealousy is all it was!
DEFINITELY NE'YO's! Why would he tour with Kelly anyway!
NE-YO IS A LAME VERSION OF CHRIS BROWN. AND WHY DOES HE ALWAYS HAVE TO BRING UP THE RIHANNIA AND BEYONCE SONGS?
Ne-yo I hope people that bought the tickets to go see neyo and NOT r.kelly get a refund
And he's upset why? R Kelly did him a favour. You don't want to go on tour with R Kelly! It's PR disaster.
neyo all the way. he's soooo sexy
ne-yo
