NE-YO speaks with BIG TIGGER on 95.5
Ne-Yo spoke with Big Tigger on his radio show on Tuesday about being dropped from the R.Kelly ‘Double Up’ tour earlier this week. He said it was foul the they dropped him and it kind of takes it personally. Here are the main points:
- On the Columbus, Georgia stop R.Kelly took over 7 dressing rooms. And Ne-Yo had to fight just to get one.
- No one could be in the hallway while R.Kelly was walking through.
- Concert reviewers were giving Ne-Yo great reviews and R.Kelly must have taken offense.
- Ne-Yo was suppose to get 4 hours to rehearse his set, but they tried to kick him off the stage in 2.
- He also speaks on the Keyshia Cole rumor.
Talk about effed up! Anyway, in a press release earlier this week Ne-Yo apologized to his fans about not being able to perform for them.











lol @ the hallway and 7 room thingy…..
R.Kelly iz a BITCH!! i can’t stand HIS ASS!!!! why da hell r u takin’ 7 dressing rooms?? u aint tha pretty!!
Let me find out that R. Kelly is a male DIVA
Ok I can’t listen to the interview now (I’m in school) but from all what I heard about the situation I just think R.Kelly felt jealous because Ne-yo was getting more attention then he was, and kicking him off the tour is not going to help him and its not fair because alot of people from different cities might have paid only to see Ne-yo and not for Mr.R Kelly
Man, that’s foul. I guess he wanted to keep it in the closet also
Too much Drama!
smh aint rkelly supposed to be on trial
I have a newfound respect for Ne-Yo. He had every reason to bash R.Kelly yet he kept it professional and it is a lot to be said for that. He is a stand up dude.
Now, R.Kelly and Keisha on the other hand, they need to go sit down and if I was Ne-yo I’d be happy I didn’t have to tour with they ghetto, unappreciative @$$e$. J.Holiday just getting started so they loving that he is the “newbie” while they THINK they the s#!+,
my question is “When that ni**a going to trial?” And why Keisha ain’t stepped her game up. THat house she stay in on the show ain’t all that considering all her damn family stay with her.
I will have to admit Kelly can be an asshole.
I’m from the Chi and I see him all the time, He plays basketball at the same Gym I work out at and he didn’t want to pay to play he will show up with like 10 guys and expect to get the gym for free and let his boys in too. When they made him get a membership he threw a fit and was really condisending to the staff.
7 Dressing rooms for what he was being a bitch really and Ne-yo leaving the tour was probably a good thing for you hell your almost Headliner status your damn self.
I used to love R-Kelly but he is getting besides himself.
Its funny because when he comes to the Gold Coast (an upscale Neighborhood in chicago) he get treated like a regular nucca.
R-KELLY IS A WEIRDO. DOES ANYONE REMEMBER HIS INTERVIEW IN VIBE A FEW YEARS BACK WHERE HE SAID HE GOES AND SITS IN HIS CLOSET? HE MAY BE A GREAT MUSICAN, BUT WE SHOULDN’T FORGET HE IS A CHILD MOLESTER, WHETHER THE GIRL WAS WILLING OR NOT, HE WAS THE ADULT. AND WE CELEBRATE THIS GUY BY PURCHASING HIS MUSIC AND GIVING HIM BLOG SPACE…WTF? HE STARTED WITH AALYIAH AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY MORE HAVE BEEN PAID OFF…THE PIED PIPER SHOULD BE PIPED AND THROWN IN JAIL, BECAUSE IF IT WAS POOKIE FROM UP THE STREET YOU CAN BEST BELEIVE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN TRIED AND CONVICTED. IM SICK OF R AND HIS FOOLISHNESS! PUNK ASS….
What da hell this is a damn mess and complete bullshit im glad I didn’t get R. Kelly ticket
LMAO@ that picture tho that’s messy
Aw, poor R.Kelly is jealous that Neyo is becoming a household name but in a good way, unlike Kelly’s attraction with prepubescent girls.
OFF TOPIC:
Laughing Out Loud @ I Love New York last night.
R.kelly should be lucky to even get people on his tour, because he know how alot of people feel about him, so he should be making his best effort to get along with people in the industry, he already had a fallen out with Jay, just keep it up Kell
NEYO AND R KELLY ARE SOME SEXY MEN. I LOVE BALLERS LOL
so when that HM coming back to chicago for that trial
can’t walk in his hallway…
Rochelle Kelly need to quit that childish crap
…
..
.
I agree with #4 R kelly prolly jealous ne-yo was getting more attention, and we all know why lol, its mainly cuz of those allegations the brotha don’t get much respect as human or an artist anymore, can’t believe he took all the dressing rooms.
I’m going to the show in New Orleans, and I was really looking forward to seeing Neyo. Soooo disappointed
Seems to me that Kel’s just doesn’t need to tour with ANYONE…
First Jay-Z drops him now he can’t handle the shine Ne-Yo’s fans are throwing and he drops him…
I love Kel’s but he truly needs to stop acting like such a DIVA!!!
Let’s not forget he married Aaliyah when she was 15 and he was a GROWN ASS MAN!!!!!!!
@12,,,,,, New York is a slut and I don’t know who in they right mind would want her fake A$$….except the Entertainer considering he live on his moms couch but he work at UPS (benefits baby!!!!) and Pretty gay….I thought Punk was gay too until he flipped on Chance. LMAO
Neyo also stated that no one was allowed to look R. Kelly directly in the eye,
and that when you address R.Kelly you must first say
“Ms. Kelly, may I have permission to speak”
What ever!
To keep it real R. KELLY don’t need to tour with no one cause he not man enough to handle the fact that people can out shine him. It happened back when him and JAY-Z did THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS TOUR and now on this tour with NE-YO. But ne-yo doing the right thing and he keeping it real.
WHATEVER!!
LMAO @ #10 !!!!!!
I remember that article ish was mad funny. True weirdo!
Kellz has a lot of issues. Also you mean to tell me Bossman Jay-Z didn’t warn Neyo of the foolishness that is R. Kelly. He should have given him a heads up.
Neyo is that dude right now and R.Kelly time is up and he can’t face the fact. Robert is a werido yes I do remember that Vibe article. I hope Neyo goes out on tour again I really wanted to see him. Both of cds are the bomb I still play them.
WOW Kels is an arrogant ass.He worse than Ne-Yo.His songs are good but his personality stinks.Kels give it up nobody going to be riding on that d*** of yours anymore.Go to jail.
Yeah, I was actually going to buy tickets to see the show here in LA, but now I don’t even want to go if the Celebs are acting like that! I don’t even like Ne-yo that much, but I damn sure am not going to support Kells.
Hahaha @ 2. “you aint that pretty” I agree!!
R. Kelly is triflin …I can’t stand him, he needs to sit down and stay out the lime light, go to jail already and try that Diva mess!! lawd, he’s one celeb i wish they’d just lock up. Still love Ne Yo… your better without that tour!!
Wow…I’m so proud of Neyo for taking the high road and not dogging Kelly. Very mature…Keeshia and Kelly need to stop hatin and let Neyo do his thing.
LMAO@ VDAWG #10……you wrong for that one!!!!!!
I am a fan of Ne-yo and I love J Holiday to pieces, but I refused a long time ago to support this tour. It is coming to DC this Sunday and I’ll pass on it. I liked the “12 Play” R Kelly circa 1993, before he was pissing on teens, now his music sucks.
And then Keylolo’s ghetto ass…thinking she is MJB, Beyonce or Alicia Keys…smh that tour is a friggin hot ass mess …
R Kelly’s ass got issues we all know that…whatever. Keep doing ya thing Ne Yo..
DEAD @ no one in the hall!!! Lmaooooooo R Kelly is a DIVO like a mug
That is really sad. SMH. Ne-Yo should’ve headlined his own tour like he did back in the spring. He’s big enough to have his own show and if Keyshia really did back out of performing because she wanted to go after Ne-Yo, she needs to be slapped. She’s not THAT big of an artist to be complaining and making demands. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard about her nasty attitude. It’s alright, Ne-Yo could have his OWN show and do JUST FINE. Kells lost it a long ass time ago, so I won’t even bother to speak on him. SMH. I agree with Ne-Yo though. That really was foul the way they did him.
I think R. Kelly forgot that he has a upcoming trial still pending. He is a beast and not in a good way. What exactly has he dropped lately?
I think he wanted all those rooms to hide a lil girl in each one of them. Ol’ “Narsty” Stank Ass Bastard.
Good for Ne-Yo outtin’ his ass, and not givin a F*** what Roberta Kelly’s comeback would be.
Kudos to Ne-Yo for that one.
lol @ 20…
to ms. roberta kelly:
you need to pull your skirt down and stay the eff away from def jam artists!
Ne-yo should just do a small venue tour, he could fill up those by himself, and then he wouldn’t have to worry about all the drama.
They tried to do him DURTTTTYY!!! Damn @ least he isn’t hard up for cash so he was able to walk away from all that crap…
And what is up with no one being able to walk on the same ground as R.Kelly @ the same time?!!!! Dude is bugged out!!! Has he forgotten what we REALLY think about him *he should really take the diva attitude DOWN a notch….*
dueces
I agree 35 he need to come to Austin I remember lyfe jennings did something like that he aint have no fire works or nothing just his interaction with the crowd was all he needed
What f@#$ing DIVO R Kelly is……uh i can’t stand that kind of behavior!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell makes him so damn mighty,he’s been fell off to me.Sex Planets,Sex n the Kitchen,Heaven I Need A Hug,GTFOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He should be praising good every free minute that his black ass is not siiting in jail right now,And he goes around having bitch fits like he’s Diana Ross. I have a new found respect for Neyo in the way that,he’s hadling the situatuion right now.Everything happens for a reason and maybe he doesn’t need to be on tour with Kellz the Perv!!!!!!!!
I cant wait for R. Kelly to speak…you guys know he always has something silly to say as to why the tour he is in does not finish with the same artists that is started with i.e Jay Z.
I went to the concert and it was awesome. I really do wish that Ne-yo would’ve been there becuase that was the whole reason that I bought a ticket. We didn’t find out until the last minute that Ne-yo wasn’t going to be there. Keyshia was very short with her performance like she didn’t want to be there, at her after party shw was suppose to sign autographs and take pics. She only stayed for 23 mintutes and was paid 11k in cash! There was some made people in that club and it cost $20.00 to get in. I love Ne-yo and I back him 150%!!!!!!!
Edit
I meant praising God
What is really going on??? I believe that R. Kelly should not have the right to perform any longer. What kind of message is being sent out. It’s O.K. to have sex with minors, our children but it is O.K. for one to perform and charge a fee and pay you? Please! R.Kelly, Michaeal Jackson need to sit down. They deserve nothing! Everything they have (monetarily wise and anything they have that is worth something) should go entirely to all the victims. I am a Mom and do not respect anyone doing what they have done.
Keisha Cole and R.Kelly must realize that everything that rise, will fall. You come into this world with nothing and you leave nothing. They need to stop being selfish and life is not about them at all – it’s about others!
Damn Shame I tell you…..
Ne-Yo should do his own tour. Him and J-Holiday!
LMAO @ Ne-yo referring to R.Kelly as “That man!”LOL!! He so pissed he cant even say his name! Comedy
ya’ll need to leave R. Kelly alone!!! only ONE person spoke about him being kicked off the tour and that was ne-yo. get all the facts before ya’ll start dogging my boy!!!
I’m laughing at can’t nobody be in the hall way with him. This Nucca think he Jesus or something…..and tigger sounded a lil too damn happy for Ne-Yo to come to town….boy stop!!
I WAS AT THE SHOW IN COLUMBUS , GA AND KEYSHIS “MISS STANK ASS ATTITDUE” COLE DIDN’T PERFORM BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO PERFORM BEFORE NE-YO. DO REALLY THINK SHE WAS A BIGGER ARTIST THE NE-YO??? SHE LEFT EVERYBODY IN COLUMBUS PISSED.
MY HOMEBOY LOONEY T MADE A SONG CALL “DEAR KEYSHIA” ABOUT HER ASS. YOU CAN FIND IT ON YOUTUBE. JUST TYPE IN LOONEY T – “DEAR KEYSHIA” ON YOUTUBE.
AND R.KELLY IS AND MALE DIVA. WHAT A JEALOUS JACKASS.
DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT LOONEY Ts “DEAR KEYSHIA” ON YOUTUBE
(CRANKIN THE SOULJA BOY WITH R.KELLY&KEYSHIA COLE CD ON THE FLOOR)
Re the tour, what do you expect from a man who gets accused of molesting our children, and gets no negative reaction from his people?
It is tripped out but I can remember (I am 33) when I was in high school and R. came to town, they would joke on air about how he liked them REALLY young…and now I don’t support him in any way..if he comes on the radio, I change the station…
We need to stop supporting this sick fool, period, or how else are we to garner respect if we don’t care what is happening with our own?
Question:
If you ever got rich & famous and went on tour, what weird things would you request people to do ?
Throw Rose petals at your feet when you walked in the room.
Address you and the Great & Mighty ——–
Make sure that there was always 10 women in your hotel room after the show to service you
Just Asking….
I wonder if one of Neyo’s people peppersprayed Kellz this time too…R. Kelly is crazy as shit and he needs to pull up his booty shorts and stop being a HAM. He better get those knee pads off before he gets to the pen…he’s such a damn quack
Keyshia Cole needs to sit her ass down
J. Holiday….watch your back homie
Didn’t Superhead “out” Big Tigger ???
WTF??
R.Kelly is a Divo now???
NE-YO PLEASE!!!!! R. KELLY HAS BEEN IN THE GAME WAAAAAY LONGER THAN YOU AND HAS MADE WAAAAAAY MORE BABY MAKING HITS THAN YOU!!! HE IS A MUSICAL GENIUS AND I PERSONALLY THINK THAT IF HE WANTS 7 DRESSING ROOMS, THEM DAMN IT GIVE IT TO HIM!!!!! I AM NOT SAYING THAT NE-YO IS NOT A GOOD ARTIST, BUT IF HE EVER GETS TO THE STATUS THAT R. KELLY IS AT, THEN HIS GAY ASS WILL PROBABLY ACT THE SAME WAY IF NOT WORSE! AND TO ALL THOSE HATERS WHO ARE TALKING DOWN ABOUT KELLS CANNOT SIT AND ACT AS IF THEY DONT LIKE THE MAN! THIS IS AMERICA AND EVERYONE IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. EVERYBODY SO QUICK TO THROW THE FIRST STONE, BUT THEY ASS IS LIVING IN A GLASS HOUSE!!!! AND I DONT THINK THAT THERE IS ONE GROWN BLACK PERSON WHO CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HAD SEX TO ONE OF KELLY SONGS!!!! HALF OF THEIR KIDS ARE HERE B/C OF THAT MAN’S MUSIC! ALL I AM SAYING IS NE-YO TALKING ABOUT HE AINT HATING ON THAT MAN, BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING! QUIT HATING AND TRY TO HALF WAY GET ON R. KELLY’S LEVEL!!!!!! AND THAT’S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS!
Like I said, the whole story with Keyshia Cole not performing in Columbus was yet to be told. She is not as much of a “gentleman” as Ne-Yo, and she took offense to no dressing room and all of R. Kelly’s rules, and told them so.
I think RKelly selected this line-up because he thought they could bring in some of their fans and some extra $$$, but that they would not be a “threat” to him, and think he really didn’t understand Ne-Yo’s talent or fan base. Ne-yo is all over the place right now, and then to be on the AMAs performing and have a few videos out right now, may have been too much for Robert’s fragile ego. Same thing happened on the tour with Jay-Z. And they should have listened, Jay-Z said he was a little crazy like that.
Damn Shame – when will people learn,
blowing out someone else candle doesn’t make yours shine any brighter
Just when you think R. Kelly couldn’t POSSIBLY tarnish his image anymore than he already has, he goes and does something this petty…
I have seen Ne-Yo perform before, and he is a really excellent artist. I was glad I didn’t purchase a ticket to this show, because I would really be upset if I couldn’t have seen him perform. Although I wanted to see J. Holiday… none the less, I can’t believe that beyond being stars, grown people, acting like elementary/ middle school age kids… sad. But I am glad Ne-Yo is handling it professionally, this will only continue to make his life show brighter, as we watch R. Kelly’s quickly diminish and flicker out…
R. Kelly need a swift foot in his ass.
I meant light instead of life, lol

R. Kelly need a swift foot in his ass.
___________
Naw… he might actually enjoy that sh!t.
#54– don’t you realize that R. Kelly ain’t going NOWHERE. you really do not know what you are talking about. if you think that his career will flicker out because of this, then don’t hold your breath!!!
R. Kelly still pissin on these youngons!
Two hours is enough time to get yo $#!T together!
And, don’t trip…Ne-yo couldn’t upstage R. Kelly if his life depended on it!
I’m sure Yo-yo wasn’t the only one kicked out of the hall when the legend was walking through!
How many dressing rooms did little Ne-Yo need???
One seems plenty for a ladyboy!
See, what happin was…It came down to Ne-Yo going on stage behind J. Holiday or Keshia said she would leave the tour, and R. chose to keep Keshia, cause she’s hotter!
