Thread: Promoter of Last R. Kelly Tour Sued for Scamming Investors; Kelly Was Also Swindled

And of course, they couldn't help but put Kellz name all in the mix. Nothing personal, but I'm with Chelle. You just don't do business with these black promotors. I'm not trying to be racist and I'm black. They are really sneaky and underhanded. REAL TALK: I think the promotor didn't have enough money to pay Neyo, that's why he was dropped fromt the tour since he had to pay Kellz.

That's very possible about not having the funds to pay Neyo. Even after Neyo was added to the tour it didn't seem to spur sales. DU was Kells' tour and the supporting acts were just that.

it is a cold,cold,cold dirty business. if this can happen to a veteren like R.Kelly who been in the game almost 20 years then imagine a kid just entering the business and what they might be hustled on.

bad Business practices comes in all shades and backgrounds. the bottom line you always need a lawyer in that business. even if you are clearning your throat have a lawyer handy period because you could get sued over a cough or have some fool sample your cough and loop it into a hit.

these Promoters stay around for a long,long,long time. this cat worked with Michael Jackson and Family and that carrys weight with so many other folks. the pictures on the wall and the money cut,but not getting paid sad to say comes with the territory. showbusiness is only 5% show and 95% business.

lilmorsel, I can't say I know as much as you do, but I agree with you on some real on the fact that they put Kells' name in there just because it it's kells. They figure it fits cuz he's been thru so much.

IS THERE ANY ARTIST BESIDES MAYBE MICHAEL WHO GETS THIS MUCH UPFRONT OR BACKHANDED HATE?!?!

mista well said! I do not know none who like 2 WORK 4 free!
