AUDIO: NE-YO SPEAKS W/ BIG TIGGER ABOUT BEING DROPPED FROM THE R.KELLY TOUR
Wednesday, November 21, 2007

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.

ahhh f*ck all that support yall giving ne-yo. thats what all these dumb assholes get for trying to support that psycho child rapist. everytime you turn around, they’re breakin their neck to get him on one of their songs and shit.
they gettin upset cus he’s a diva? how about being upset that he’s a child molestor and would probably rape your kids given the chance. and then the craziest thing is they’re actually doing r kelly’s requests. what?! niggas are gonna do exactly what yall let them do. if everyone would have been like “fuck r kelly, ill walk these damn halls whenever i want” then his dumb ass would know not to even come around with the bullshit demands. so i cant even be mad at r kelly for that cus if i realized that i could request anything i wanted and it would be, i would ask for some off the wall shit too.
and fuck all these dumb ass artists, always ready to tell you what charity or whatever to give your money to, where to buy their latest half-ass crap CD, all that shit.

This is truly some bull-ish. R-jealous-Kells needs to go on the “Hater” list. I was looking forward to Ne-yo. So I guess he needs to tour alone… “Maybe this decision wasn’t the best thing….”

I work on the Double Up tour” and Neyo put on a great show both nights,His Band and Dancers was slammmin, Keysha was hot too.and R. Kelly is a Musical Giant with a LOT of HITZ under his belt , However every Artist is suppose to have a dressing room,for the artist ,dancers and full band to prepare for the show, No one need 7 dressing rooms, On professional tours all artist need some time on stage for sound check and stageing to pre pare for a Great show for THE FANS, It about the Fan
’s getting there hard earned MONEYs worth for ANY SHOW. The Promoters of the concert “ROWE ENTERTAINMENT” out of Atlanta is responsable to make sure ALLL artist have the BASIC things they need to do the show, As for the Backstage , We all need to be able to move freely in the hallways just to do our jobs, There are no groupies back there. We have all been on tour around the “world “and NOT new to this, THE FANS SHOULD CONTACT THE PROMOTERS AND DEMAND THAT THEY PUT NE-YO BACK ON THE LINE-UP…Because it YOUR MONEY THATS KEEP ALL THESE ARTIST EATING real Good….YOU HAVE THE POWER……

R Kelly is special. I’m from chi-town and I went to the Jay-Z and R. Helly tour and let me tell you FIRST hand he’s a ho, in a myriad of ways. i KNOW he was jealous of Ne-Yo and booted him as that was a major issue underlying on the tour with jigga. I was front row center/backstage etc and this absolute boobface was just plain strange. People in Chicago were feelin Jigga more and it was all too funny that a short while after this bastard beefs with Jay. Kell’s whole nasty freakya lil sista grind is played out now and he’ sTRUGGLING to HOLD ON! Sad part is he’s a little talented and could sing about frenchfries and get a hit. KELLS, i gotta short phrase for ya, HO SIT DOWN HEY!
p.s. that homo DID hump that lil girl, as he would frequent a highschool near my aunts house and holler at FRESHMEN! nasty ass, I WITNESSED it with my OWN EYES, YUCK PENIS heffa!

OMG im so mad. I wanted to go to the tour and check out my boys Ne Yo and j Holiday, and my girl Keyshia, but I wont go cuz of that child molesting R Kelly. they all should just let that dressing room hog have the whole concert to himself. Then he would see that nobody cares about his nasty butt. His show wouldnt even sell out probably.

keyshia is to cocky from me…i dont understand why she wants to act so stuck up. neyo has been in the business longer than she has and he is still down to earth. she forgets that all of this can be taken away from her. i think she has taken all of this for granted. look how she acts on her show…R.Kelly speaks for himself

R Kelly is a little B*****.
Why is he touring, why hasn’t he gone on trial yet??
R Kelly had sex and pissed on a 14 year old……and he still get’s to tour. They were real quick to lock up that 17 year old boy for getting head from a 15 year old………yet R. Kelly get’s to tour and B**** about dressing rooms…………………………………………

SmFh…R.kelly is an ass wipe and needs a beating. . .. . Hes just getting old and is getting way too prideful….After that stunt with Jay-z on the best of both worlds tour any artist should know not to go on tour with his bitch ass…mad about it..poor Ne-yo he dont deserve that….

I was at the Columbus, GA and was very disappointed with the fact that Keyshia didn’t perform. Whatever the reasoning was shouldn’t matter! She had a job to do and instead decided to piss off an auditorium full of people and two respected concert promoters. As far as R.Kelly goes, they knew he was difficult to work with so they shouldn’t complain now!!! And yes, NE-YO did his thing and had much better dancers!!!!!

JAZZY
you must be about 14-16yrs old, and if youre not then you seem very very very young…there was child pornography and everything else dealing with children in a sexual way found in his home…lets not for get his “alleged” marriage to Aaliyah when she was 14, and you actually was dumb enough to set rkelly higher than The Creator- if anyone should hold the title of baby maker of all time it should be someone like GOD! or if youre a stan-Prince(if you watched some of his old shows you’d know why)-not a fan of prince but theres enough proof that shows he is one of the first “babymakers” who taught artist after him how to do it
ALSO
just as many innoccent ppl there are in jail theres 3x more guilty ppl running around stupid(like rkelly) and no not everyone has f**ked to rkellys babyraping music

Hell no discrimination. Jay-Z burnt a bridge before the blueprint was even layed nobody from Def Jam isnt gonna be able to get money with Kelly as long as Jay is running the company.

First of all, before everybody starts bashing R. Kelly again, it’s important to get BOTH sides of the story. Look who we’re comparing Kells to: he’s a musical genius, has been in the game for 17 years–if the man want’s his space in the hallway, give him his space! Furthermore, those “go to jail” comments are pissing me off even more. That’s the problem with society today! We’re quick to esteem somebody when there in the spotlight, but even quicker to defame and slander his name for sickening rumors. I’ve seen Robert Kelly on tour a couple of times, recently in Birmingham, AL and from what I’ve seen firsthand, he’s the most humble, rich man you can ever encounter. One part of the show, he was teary-eyed and asked the audience the question, “After all I’ve been through, mu**afu**ers still calling on Kells?” Who am I to cast judgment on the next man for his indiscretions? At the end of the day, Robert Sylvester Kelly doesn’t have to answer to me neither does he have to answer to you. The only reason his alleged sins are so public is because of his status. LEAVE HIM ALONE! Back to Neo, before this whole concert mess, I thought he was arrogant and too “big-headed” to be so new to the industry. Who is he to put a veteran on blast? Come on, Neo–know your place. Again, respect R. Kelly for what he has done for the industry and stop associating his “alleged” sins with his professional career–they are separate and distinct! Besides, it is customary law in the U.S. that a man is presumed innocent until proven guilty and dog-on-it, he has NOT been convicted of any of those frivolous crimes!

TO # 192: THANK YOU FOR BRINGING SOME LIGHT TO THIS SITUATION FOR SOME OF THESE DICK HEADS ON THIS THING!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE GIVE CREDIT TO WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!!!! AND FOR THE RECORD I AM A GROWN ASS WOMAN!!! AND YOU ALL WHO ARE OUT THERE POINTING FINGERS AS IF YOU HAVE NO SINS OVER YOUR HEADS ARE THE ONES SOUNDING LIKE A BUNCH OF DAMN IDIOTS!!!!! I NEVER SAID THAT NE-YO WAS A BAD ENTERTAINER, BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT BOY JUST STEPPED INTO THE GAME AND ACTING LIKE HE STARTED WHEN R. KELLY DID. HOW MANY ALBUMS DOES NE-YO HAVE? NO THE REAL QUESTION IS HOW MANY PLATINUM ALBUMS DOES NE-YO HAVE?? MY POINT EXACTLEY AND UNTIL HE GETS MORE THAN R. KELLY HE REALLY NEEDS TO SIT HIS WHINY ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT R. KELLY HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF AND THAT’S WHAT SOME OF THE ASSES ON HERE ARE FAILING TO REALIZE!!!! A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STILL BRINGING UP THOSE DAMN CHARGES, BUT HAS HE BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF ANYTHING?? NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY HAS ONE RIGHT TO ACCUSE HIM OF ANYTHING!!!!!! THE LAST TIME I CHECKED NOBODY ON HERE HAS BEEN GIVEN THE TITLE OF “GOD”!! SO THAT MEANS NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE ANYBODY ELSE!!!!!!!! THE MAIN ONES ON HERE TALKING ALL THE SHIT ABOUT R. KELLY ARE MORE THAN LIKELY THE SAME ONES THAT HAVE DONE SOMETHING WAAAAAY MORE WORSE THAN PEE ON A LITTLE GIRL!! IS PEEING ON A LITTLE GIRL RIGHT? NO, BUT THE POINT IS IF KELLS HASNT BEEN FOUND GUILTY, THEN LEAVE THAT MAN ALONE AND JUST ENJOY HIS MUSIC!!!!!!! AND WHAT GREAT MUSIC IT IS MAY I ADD!!!!!!! AND TO KELLS; ENJOY YOUR DAMN 7 DRESSING ROOMS!!! I PERSONALLY THINK IF YOU WANT 10 YOU DESERVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in Columbia, SC on Dec 29th and R. Kelly’s show is the bomb!!!!! I don’t care what yall haters say…the boy’s show is fierce. On the real, yall keep forgetting, R. Kelly doesn’t handle stuff like that. The entertainment company is out of Atlanta, GA and it doesn’t belong to Kells. He signed on with them to handle the touring. Ne-Yo is pointing the finger at him and maybe Kells is feeling himself (lmao!). But it’s apples and oranges to me. Ne-Yo may do a good show but save it for another tour, buddy!
