NE-YO DROPPED FROM R.KELLY TOUR

Ne-Yo was dropped unexpectedly from R. Kelly’s “Double Up” tour on Monday:

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.

“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.” [ SOURCE: SOHH ]

Could it be because of the Keyshia Cole rumor? Who knows.

  1. UM...I GUESS

    YAY!!!!!!! whiteny’s back! loves her.

  2. ohplease

    I think this is good for NeYo to no longer be associated with that H.A.M. tour. Hopefully his representatives negotiated a hefty settlement for him.

  3. Jamilah

    I agree with you #62 until celebs distance themselves from R. Kelly then he will continue to ask like he owns the world.

  4. Bittersweets

    Ne Yo you don’t need to be hanging around with no child molester anyway. R Kelly being ignored by all the major media except when it comes to dumping dirt. No recognition or invites to any of the music award shows.
    Wonder what deal fresh Ms. Keisha made with R Kelly to have things her way.

  5. yabaybgurl

    Well i hope that ghetto hooded rat skank is happy now i guess shes headlining the pedifiles tour neyo is a wonderful artist and itll help him more than it’ll hurt him way too much talent for them theyre all intimidated and it shows but i still dont know y keysha b acting like she it cause beyonce ILL SHUT HER DOWN and AND PUT HER TA SHAME in a minute so shes midas well get over herself like someone else said she ONLY HAS A BET AUDIENCE not world wide superstardom like neyo love ya boo keep ya head up

    I DON’T CARE IF IT DON’T MAKE SENSE TO YOU, I PAID 68$ FOR THOSE TICKETS. AND I WANT 17$ OUT OF THOSE 68$ KEYSHIA DIDN’T PERFORM.

    BEFORE THE SHOW THEY HAD A LITTLE RED CARPET KEYSHIA COLE COAME OUT THE CAR WITH A SKANK LOOOK ON HER FACE LIKE SHE WAS ANGERY. THEY ASKED HER TO SING ONE OF HER SONG SHE SUNG “LOVE” SHE SUNG THE SONG WITH AN ATTITUDE.

    THEY SHE WAS ARGUING BACKSTAGE WITH NE-YO OR J-HOLIDAY.
    SHE WAS ALSO COMPLAINING THAT SHE THE STAGE TO SMALL FOR HER TO RIDE HER BIKE ON STAGE.THEY SAID ON THE RADIO SHE ACTED LIKE A DIVA.

    SO I DON’T CARE IF IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE TO YOU BECAUSE I WAS THERE.

    DON’T FORGET TO CHECK THE SONG “DEAR KEYSHIA” BY LOONEY T ON YOUTUBE. C-TOWN STAND UP.

    I see this has you all twisted up and you want your $$$ back.
    You were there, but you don’t have any more facts than what was reported.
    “They say” she was arguing backstage – about what – oh yea, the stage and the city shrunk.

    Whatever –

    She lost you as a supporter – maybe if I were in your shoes, I would want my $$$ back too.

  9. Whitney looks great!! I hope she comes back better than ever.

    Neyo sweety let that crap go. This could be for the best. The “R” is on some other shit and you do not need to be associated with that mess. Your sex tape was with an adult so you dont have anything in common with that pedophile anyway.(thank God) Let him and that ghetto wannabe diva have it.

  10. Khalil

    I really wanted to see NE-YO when he came to DC. Who cares about a J. Holiday? He is okay, but nothing compares to NE-YO. But on a more important note, my baby WHITNEY HOUSTON, looks hot! She is about to come back and show all of these so-called divas how its done. I love the original vocal entertaining, confident sassy woman. So glad to see her back. Go Whitney…we are routing for you.

  11. ThinkAboutIt

    Is Whitney working on a CD too? I thought eralier there was sometake about it.

    Her Christmas CD is nice -

  12. HotGAbiscuit

    Well You Have A Point.

    But Somebody Must Pissed Her Off Or Something Because She Came On The Red Carpet With An ATTITUDE.

    Enough About The The Double Up Tour.

    I Am Ready For The Whitney Come Back. One Of My Favorite Whitney Aldum Is 1998 Your Love Is My Love. She Is Looking Different Now a Days.She Use To Look Beautiful. I Guess The Crack Wore Her Out.

    And Gas In My Tank (A Parody Of T-Pains “Money In The Bank”) And He Has Others Can’t Thank Of Them Right Now.

    He Is Very Creative And Funny.

  16. Baroness

    I was listening to the radio today and Ne-Yo had called in and told
    the REAL reason that he is not on the tour anymore. He said that R.
    Kelly is very demanding and hard to get along with…what else is
    new? He also said that when the tour first started that Kells had
    took up all 7 of the dressing rooms and wouldn’t give any to Ne-Yo or
    anyone else. Ne-Yo and his crew had to fight to get one for him and
    his dancers. He also said that Kells demanded that nobody look/speak
    to him when they saw him in the hallways. He also said that the whole
    “not signing a conract” thing is not true. His publicist had to be
    “politically correct” that’s why they made that statement. R. Kelly
    needs to grow up and get his thumb out his ass! JUST FACE IT KELLS
    YOU’RE NOT NUMBER 1 ANYMORE!!!

  17. bvarney

    why is r kelly touring? its not like he did good with his last album. he is nothing ne-yo is way better and keyshia cole needs to go away she is getting to big headed NEXT!!! kick the stupid fuck to the curb there are plenty more black girls from the hood with blond weaves and wife beaters that can belt out a tune.

  18. My only question is, WHY DOESN’T NE YO HAVE HIS OWN HEADLINING TOUR????? He’s better than R Kelly dammit!

  19. ATL

    R.kelly just mad cause Ne-Yo was getting all the attention.

  20. Nay

    I heard he was kicked off because of Mr. Kelz himself. He didnt like the extra attention that NeYo was gettin from was performance and was startin to feel the heat. I think this is just a bit of many other reasons why he was bumped off the tour. I heard it had nothing to do with Keyisha.

  21. SayIt

    THATS KELLZ 4 YA HE DONT WANT NO ONE 2 UPSTAGE HIS OLD ASS

  22. YABAYBGURL

    @38 good lookin out i went to u tube that was hularious it descibed how triflin she REALLY IS thanks 4 tha laugh

  23. tlt

    that’s not right about neyo

  24. Keyhsiacole fan

    nobody knows da damn reason behind keyshia’s no show and ne-yo dropped so shut da hell up, and wait and see what happens!

  25. Keyhsiacole fan

    i also think looney has toooo much time on his hands to make a diss song that keyshia ain’t gon care about…nor her fans

  26. Miss M.

    Boy, you should have known not to get involved with R Kelly’s weird a** :-)

  27. Miss M.

    Oh and it looks like the Queen is back!!! Lets hope she stays that way!!! :-) She looks and sounds great!

  28. WHAT DA HELL KIND OF SHIT IS THAT NE-YO DROPPED WELL NE-YO BRING YOUR ASS TO AUSTIN TX

    No offense to T.I. but its all a “hustle”, because you need to look good in front of the judge. I am an attorney, its all about looking good before your court date, but I cannot knock you some people will have a great Thanksgiving because of his efforts.

  30. Well, I will say this I use to be a very very big R. Kelly fan back in the day before all this Drama and his MothuF$kin Ego got in the way. But I have been to more than 4 of his concerts and I enjoyed him earlier in his career when he was hungry. Now this bling, bling, KING OF DING-A-LING is getting on my nerves!. Not to Mention the fact that I didnt like the way things played out when He and My Favorite Rap Artist JayZ were in concert. He showed his true colors (as a sad ass SELFISH capricorn man , most Capricorn’s are selfish — man or woman).And everytime I’ve seen Ne-Yo By Film or on Stage he’s Genuine and I can SEE THE R BEING VERy OFFended by his POPULARITY. I know R. Kelly cant get anouther Dime of Mine’s for anything. HE’S SORRY ASS CAME OUT IN STAGE IN A BEATER AND BACKPACK SHOWING VIDEOS OF HIM LIKE HIS WAS A REAL DON… YEAH RIGHT.. AS FAR AS TURNING INTO A MONSTER – WHO KNEW?

  31. Rhapsody

    I heard Ne-Yo was dropped not because of Keisha Cole, but because of Jealousy between him and R. Kelly??? Anybody else heard that? Check it out on BET.com

    This isn’t the first time that TI and Grand Hustle has done this – and he has had many other philantropic activities in the community.

  33. Damn that Kelly. I’m starting to feel like I need to just give my tickets to the Sunday’s concert away. I paid to see ALL the artists on the roster, not just his divo acting ass. Geez!!!!!! Hopefully Keyshia and J. Holiday will still be able to deal with Kelly’s mess.

  34. kazona

    Whitney we LOVE you. I cannot wait for your return.
    I think we’ve all prayed for her to get-it-together.
    Prayers have been answered so bring it.

    R.Kelly -good luck on your trial (wacko)
    Neyo- keep doing your thing!
    Keisha Cole- loosing love b/c your attitude is just ugly..

  35. kiny

    Oh, i do love his voice… it is awesome. i heard a similar one on . did u added the same one there? may be i need to check it…

  36. CRIS

    R Kelly is an ass. NeYo was getting all the attention and R Kelly doesn’t like the spotlight being taken away from him. NeYo should have taken notes from the Best of Both Worlds Tour with Jay Z. Same thing there, Jay Z was getting all the play and R Kelly didn’t like it so what did he do act an ass until there was one on the rest of the tour. It’s a pattern, maybe R Kelly needs to get some no names to go on tour with him then he won’t have to worry about the spotlight leaving him. Dumbass!! Keep yo head up NeYo take it as a job well done on your part because you did what you were suppose to do entertain.

  37. PEDOPHILE

    JAY DEADED THIS PEDOPHILE FOR THE SAME REASON – R.KELLY’S EGO IS BIGGER THAN HIS LOVE FOR YOUNGIN’S.

    HE REACTED THE SAME WAY WITH “THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS” TOUR BECAUSE JAY WAS GETTING MORE LOVE FROM HIM (ESPECIALLY IN CHICAGO) AND KELL’S COULDN’T TAKE IT.

    NE-YO HAS ALL THE BIG WIGS COMING TO HIM TOO THAT KELL’S WAS WRITING FOR (CELINE DION, MICHAEL JACKSON, ETC.) AND KELL’S IS SICK.

    HE SHOULD KNOW THAT HE AIN’T GOING TO DENT NE-YO’S SHINE, LIKE THE TOUR WITH JAY CONTINUED AND WAS BETTER WITHOUT HIM. JEALOUS ASS CLOWN ASS LAME AS NIGGA.

    HE’S A GROWN MAN THAT STILL ON STAGE WITH A BELT BUCKLE IN THE SHAPE OF A MOUTH WITH THE TONGUE EXTENDING DOWN TO HIS PRIVATE. JAY TOLD HIM DURING THEIR TOUR THAT IT WASN’T A GOOD LOOK – ASIDE FROM HIM GOING THROUGH HIS SEX TRIAL. AND HE’S STILL ROCKING IT – CLOWN.

    THAT TELLS YOU WHERE HIS MIND’S AT – ‘NUFF SAID.

  38. @ #85, Ummm sorry to dissappoint you but my Mom and Aunt are both Keyshia Cole fan’s and they thought the diss was hilarious! So I guess you meant to say stan.

    Thanks to whoever posted that link to T Looney. My favorite part was…

    Trick, I want my money back
    Trick, What you did was wack
    Trick, Go and fix your gap

    LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  40. lette

    that’s fucked up they dropped my baby from the tour. What kind of shit is that???/ Ne-Yo is a great singer n performs exceptionally but its cool Ne-Yo keep doin you and fuck the haters!!!!!

  41. Listen to Ne-Yo’s “explanation” of what happened.

    http://www.zshare.net/audio/506321327dcdb0/

    R Kelly needs to sit his sickening a$$ down somewhere. Why is he still relevant?

  42. lette

    O yea I just heard bout the Keyshia Cole rumor bullshit man fuck her. Her n R.Kelly are some jealous ass motha fuckers n just mad cuz Ne-Yo had more shine than the both of them combined. I do like Keyshia’s songs but after all this shit I heard bout her bashing Ne-Yo its makin me look at her ghetto ass a hell of alot differently I don’t know who the fuck she think she is. She always have been arrogant like last year on her show The Way It Is when her n Ne-Yo had the photo shoot she actin like she aint want him to touch her, Man don’t nobody want that hood rat bitch so fuck her n like I said Ne-Yo keep doin you baby n I’m so glad I aint buy her cd if anything I will bootleg it cuz I am not tryin make her ass successful by buyin the real thing.

  43. Keyhsiacole fan

    @98 no mam alot of keyshia ‘stans’ found dat funny and if i didn’t oh well its my opinon

  44. ROCAGIRL

    R KELLY the RAPIST can suck on a clit! he’s a HATER!!!!

  45. @ #103, it’s okay sweetie. You don’t have to find it funny. I was just responding to what you said ” to make a diss song that keyshia ain’t gon care about…nor her fans”.

    You were wrong. If you look on that Keyshia Cole post from eariler this week, you’ll see that alot of her fans actually did care. They didn’t appreciate what she did. They were alot of comments saying stuff like “Keyshia we (your fans) made you and we can break you. So I was just saying that your statement was wrong. Most of her fans with common sense do care. That’s all.

  46. Keyhsiacole fan

    i don’t think it was right either but we dnt know why she didn’t perform case close.

  47. Pingback: » AUDIO: NE-YO SPEAKS W/ BIG TIGGER ABOUT BEING DROPPED FROM THE R.KELLY TOUR // 'CONCRETELOOP.COM' YOU BETTER ACT LIKE YOU KNOW!

  48. @ #106, oh hun. Whatever. Case closed for you maybe. But all her fans that paid $68/ticket too see her may not feel the case is closed. LOL

    I have been browsing on-line more than three hours as of late, but I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It’s lovely price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content material as you did, the net will probably be much more helpful than ever before.
