Shady Ne-Yo
Filed under: Music Minute > Legal Matters > NeYo
Talk about a major scam!
Partygoers in Bellevue, Washington, paid to party with R&B singer Ne-Yo on New Years eve.
The musician was set to perform at Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center with tickets starting at $75 and running up to $1,200 for a VIP table.
The problem?
Ne-Yo NEVER showed up!!!
One party guest, Michael Brandt, said "Everything from the tickets to the Web site indicated that Ne-Yo would be there."
And even worse is the fact that they informed the crowd just 30 minutes before midnight.
He added, "At 11:30 they had a pre-recorded message from Ne-Yo. He was on a plane from Nigeria and not able to come. They probably knew a day in advance. They could have cancelled or given a refund."
However, on New Year’s Eve Ne-Yo did perform on Dick Clark’s Rockin' New Year's Eve TV show. Though the segment may have been pre-recorded. Or was it?
As for the Meydenbauer concert, it had been promoted for weeks on KUBE 93. KUBE program director Eric Powers said, "We were told by the record label and the promoter that it was a done deal, so we were taken aback just like our listeners."
And about 300 tickets were sold through the sponsor Wet Entertainment. The comapny's owner said he'll be consulting his legal team.
Though good luck if you want your money back.
The sponsors, Wet Entertainment, can't be found on the web any longer. And as for the local marketing manager, his phone number no longer works.
Wonder what Ne-Yo has to say about this!

Re: harrybalsac – Who, me?

Re: TwoGoofballs – He Never Stops.. Not Even For A Day
Once again, Perez criticizes a Black Man. Racism must be ended. You White People are an abomination! You White People brought hatred, racism, and violence to the world. You White People with your Gay Homosexualism has poisoned the world. You all will die in Allah's Holy Fire!
And the internet is overrun with hatred. Why? Because it is run by a simple four letter word. J-E-W-S. Racism and hatred will never be stopped until the White Race and the Jews are exterminated!
Ne-yo is so ugly!!!
Re: ObamaistheMessiah –
WHAT?????
Re: Turd_Ferguson – Re: ObamaistheMessiah –
You two are fuking MADE for each other seriously!!
A NO SHOW FOR A NO TALENT. This moron actually paid tribute to Barbara Streisand and sang one of her songs. He can't sing and if it weren't for Michael Jackson videos he'd have nothing to copy. I say let him keep on disappearing.
I'm pretty sure I saw him in Vegas that night, I was hanging out with some friends and there was a buzz around a group of guys and someone told us that it was Ne-Yo. This all happened at Ceasar's a little past 1am.
what the hell happend to my comments??
Re: Charisma – i take that back!
Eww…what is that NASTY white stuff around the corners of his mouth.
Eww is he threatening to take his hat off? His head is atrocious!
dick clarks performance segments were taped,have been for yrs.
Fergie hosted it from la that nite. Fox News or CNN did a"live" remote from Vegas,that nite, talking toBusta Rymes and he said he was doing 2 hosting parties and that Fergie was doing 4 that nite. So Fergie was "live" in Vegas, not LaLaLand.Busta cleared that 1 up!! So in ending,the NeYo performance was also taped.
HE'S DEFINITELY A QUEEN. ONLY QUEENS DO TRIFLIN' SHIT LIKE THIS.
Re: harrybalsac –
BTW, 2 WHITE MEN HAVING GAY SEX ARE CALLED COUSINS.
Re: ObamaistheMessiah –
"Racism must be ended. You White People are an abomination!"
I'm sorry, you either made a completley hypocritical statemant, or your just a dumbass.
The last time i checked, its racist to call one whole race an abomination.
Re: harrybalsac – The Black Man does not partake in Gay Homosexualism.
Re: frvr21girl – Racism is defined as the hatred of the White Man toward the Black Man. The Black Man can not be racist, by definition. Yes, you White People need to be exterminated if there is ever to be peace.
That's why I would go to a party in SEATTLE instead of Bellevue. I mean, I love Bell Square as much as the next person, but if you want a party that doesn't involve a bunch of bratty bitches with access to mommy and daddy's money, stay out of the Eastside.
Re: Keara20 – Dude, Everett is where you go to get shot at. I will never step foot in that town again after I watched a commuter bus get held at gunpoint during rush hour. Fuck. That. I can get drugs in Federal Way.
He was booked through Mike with www.Esterman.com, and he didn't show. No good. It was a lot of money too, dumb.
I'm tired of reading racists posts on this site…let's keep in mind that we are all ONE race…THE HUMAN RACE!!!
Re: ObamaistheMessiah –
You'z a lie. I'm a gay black man!
Re: WHORE1 –
LMAO!! Great come back WHORE1!
Oh boy, first, have you been to that city? Bad. He probably didn't realize where the hell he was going. Second, I actually hate his whining ass music. Sorry kid
Re: Turd_Ferguson – YOUR AN IDIOT.
that's sucks! never spend money on something your not sure about.
Re: Diamondhearted – Are you kidding me?! Bellevue is one of the nicest places in/just outside of Seattle. Tacoma and the surrounding area is where it's bad. Learn your geography, idiot.
I know where to find the promoter if anyone's interested…
Sure glad that I didn’t make plans to see him! And I’m sure that the Meydenbauer Center and Bellevue & other folks are quite ticked off - totally understandable! But I did see this issue addressed on the news last night, and apparently it had something to do with Ne-Yo's flight out (not good planning). Albeit these types of things happen, I think that “Wet Entertainments” lack of taking responsibility and addressing the issue, (cannot be contacted?) is super lame!
My understanding is that the promoter may have been running a scam. Ne-Yo was apparently only paid some of the money upfront and either decided not to show because of not getting paid the agreed amount or was not able to because some of the missing money should have gone toward a flight that would have gotten him here in time. Either way, I would’ve been pissed if I had been an attendee.
Congratulations Michael for making Perez' blog!
