a)R&B acts are gonna have to start doing smaller venues
b)Bobby Brown did it to Shabba back in the day cuz Shabba was whoopin' his ass on the "Humpin' Around" tour....we all know about the R.Kelly/Jay-z fiasco and now this.....THEY SHOULDA NEVA GAVE U NIGGAZ MONEY!!!!!
c)C'mon folks....who are we dealin' with here???? Here's a man who has gone "schizo" right in front of your eyes who can't stop making videos talkin' to himself!!!!!

A Ne-Yo/Chris Brown/Omarion/Bow Wow tour would be tha shiznit right now!!!! Although I don't care 4 some of 'em, that would be a SERIOUS DRAW!!!!!

Let Keyshia Cole tour with R. Kelly.....

The media likes to glamorize R. Kelly as having a great career but in fact, he is destroying what the media had considered "great" considering his circumstances. Now that his publicist of FOURTEEN years has quit and Ne-Yo dropping out of his tour because of Kells' ignorant behavior, it's clear Kells is burning a lot of bridges in the entertainment world as well as the criminal justice system who either wanna get the guy locked up or let him go because the preliminary case has gone on for 100 years, lol.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leonard Rowe, president of Rowe Entertainment announces that the tour line up has changed for the nine-week long DOUBLE UP TOUR which currently features R. Kelly, Keyshia Cole, and J. Holiday.

Def Jam Recordings’ R&B vocalist, Ne-Yo, was a part of the line-up through Thursday, November 15th. It was Rowe Entertainment’s decision to revamp the line-up, minus the Def Jam Recordings’ artist, because Rowe Entertainment could not obtain the final, fully-executed contract from Ne-Yo’s agent. The decision to release Ne-Yo was made solely by Leonard Rowe the national tour promoter. Contrary to previously published reports, R. Kelly exerted no influence upon Leonard Rowe’s decision.

“From a business perspective, it would have been extremely difficult for me to continue under this cloud of uncertainty. Unfortunately it was decided that in the best interest of all involved, since I was unable to receive the fully-executed contract, I had no other alternative but to release Ne-Yo from the tour,” said Leonard Rowe. “We are currently surveying the availability of other artists in order to fill this void.”

R Kelly needs therapy.

You are a big Marvin fan and him and R Kelly are alike musically and in their personal lives. Marvin was messing with underage females married one and had a kid by one and was strung out on drugs and crazy when he died. And R kelly has messed with underage females and is crazy. So they both have alot in common.

Don't you dare try to compare R.Kelly to Marvin Gaye! Yes,Marvin had "issues" too,but at least he actually had talent and amazing songs.R.Kelly has neither.Let's start the trial today and lock his ass up!

Marvin still dated, fucked, and impregnated a underage female. So hes no better than R Kelly. So since marvin had amazing songs he got a pass from you???? Interesting...

I'm not excusing his behavior.I just think it's ridiculous for you to even mention R.Kelly's name in the same sentence.Despite his personality flaws,Marvin Gaye had REAL TALENT and is considered one of the greatest R&B artists of all time,with a string of classic albums.R.Kelly,on the other hand,is one of the worst songwriters of this generation.Unlike Marvin,there are no redeeming qualities about R.Kelly and his shitty music.

I disagree...
R.kelly had alot of great songs, back when he cared about making decent music...
You cant deny songs like Rain Drops, Forever More,I can't sleep baby, Dream Girl, One Man, If i could turn back the Hands of Time,
And he wrote and produced them, and they were good... (he also had alot of shitty songs, but then again so does prince)

bobby brown didn't drop shabba cuz of performance, he dropped him because Bobby's tour supporters where going to pull out because of shabba's homophobic comments, bout killin gays

Your getting this shit from that stupid Michael Eric Dyson book. He had not proof and should not have put that in his book.

Marvin was never filmed and about to go on trial. Do not compare MG to R Kelly.

I wasnt gonna respond to this thread again but had to clear up something. Nona Gayes mother who is Janis Hunter AKA Janis Gaye was under the age of 18 when marvin met her and started fucking her and impregnated her. So yes he can be compared to R Kelly. They both like them young. So quit trying to re-write history or should i say cover up Marvins liking of young ass. Now i'm done with this thread.

and once again,I say it's stupid to even compare R.Kelly to Marvin.Did Marvin ever make a video of himself pissing on a 14-year old? Did Marvin ever face charges for molesting young girls? Did Marvin ever marry a 15-year old singer that he was writing songs for? If he did these things,please prove it.

I'm not saying that Marvin was a saint but unlike R.Kelly,he didn't have a long history of being a child molester.There's no videos of him having sex with underage girls.

Ne-Yo should go on after Keyshia Cole.

Ne-Yo should go on after R. Kelly.

This reminds me of Luther booting EnVogue from his tour in '94 when fans started leaving the concerts after they performed. The fans seemed to have gotten their money's worth and didn't need to hear Luther. It's a jealousy thing.

Luther is another artist who always seemed to have problems with his opening acts....first Anita Baker in 1988,then EnVogue in 1994.My sister was backstage at one of his shows in the late 90s (she knew one of his assistants),and she saw Luther cussing out the opening act Boys II Men.

Makes you wonder....why do certain artists even bother touring with other acts? Why not just do a solo tour,even if it means playing smaller venues? Prince and Madonna rarely ever have opening acts these days and it works out fine.

Seems like they just have a problem with talented artists. They act humble but get scared shitless by the threat of being outshined.

Crazy,isn't it? And in Luther's case,it didn't make any sense at all.He had no reason to feel threatened.
