Ne-Yo 11

Ne-Yo has been dropped unexpectedly from R. Kelly’s “Double Up” tour:

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.”

Say what you want about Ne-Yo, but he was probably the best performance that the Pied Piper had on that Double Up roster. Too bad for people who have already purchased tickets to see Ne-Yo perform. Keyshia can shut the hell up about headlining now.

    Oh boy.

  • Sun Goddess

    I wonder why Kellz dropped Ne-yo. Sounds like jealousy…..

  • Gimme Mo’

    People still pay to see R. Kelly?!!

  • Jus Another Opinion

    Im 1st yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Okay the diva is throwing fits now…R. Kelly need to be ashamed he should be glad someone still want to perforn with his child molesting ass. When are they going to lock his ass up.

  • http://stylerazzi.blogspot.com StyleRazzi

    R. Kelly’s tours are just filled with drama. This tour JUST STARTED less than 7 days ago and already Keyshia has acted THE FOOL and now NE-YO has gotten dropped. Kellz was probably just mad that all the pre-teens were coming to see Ne-yo and not his old @ss!!!!

  • Sun Goddess

    Or maybe Kells needs all the money he can get with his impending trial….or at leaast I hope.

    Everytime I hear a storyline about R. Kelly get pissed off.

    BAD CHOICE OF WORDS!

    :)

    Usher cant get a break but R. Kelly pedophile ass can. SMH What is the world coming to!

    piss on Ne-Yo…oh wait…that was no pun intended

    just been sayin it all day

  • backyard

    someone is being a hater i wonder if it was keyshia ot R.Kelly

  • Sara

    Ne-Yo!

    I’ve met him twice and he is such a down to earth guy. He is extremely talented and very entertaining to watch in concert. I don’t know why R. Kelly would not want him on tour with him! its insane. R. Kelly can be so petty sometimes. Ne-Yo probably just got a bigger round of applause then Kelly did and he got his panties in a twist! hehe

  • Just Sit And Be Pretty

    Ne-Mo, they might have done you a big favor. I mean, who the hell wants to be associated with that disgusting pedophile anyway??!?!

  • Sara

    and i love that thing he does with his lips and his hat. he is so cool its unreal. without even trying. don’t worry Ne-YO!

  • 504okaay

    WHAT THE DEUCE?

  • N-Qui-Sa-Tive

    Ne-Yo just needs his own tour.

  • Miss V.I.P.

    That was a punk a$$ b!tch a$$ move, so more than likely R.Smelly is behind it, he better be glad Ne-Yo aint like Jigga, he woulda gotten b!tch slapped once again.. old jealous fagg!t a$$ child molester, I hate him!

  • Bonnie

    So, in other words, Kelly thinking…”Who else is hot out there right now? Mmmm, I know, let me get Neyo on the tour. When word gets out that he is on the tour, people will buy tickets and we will get good exposure cause he is talented. Not enough people know J. Holiday and I know Keisha is gonna get on my nerves but I will let that fly. Then, after a couple of shows and he gets good press and more people buy tickets, I will drop his ass from the tour cause there can only be one R&B singer on my tour and that’s me”. I no longer support or listen to R. I have three daughters and the fact that he has the nerve to go on tour and stroll around like he is not in the tape having sex with that little girl is just atrocious to me. And yeah, all of you “he has not been convicted of anything” stans can save it. Don’t want to hear it and don’t care.

  • M-DADDY OAKLANDS FINEST

    Sounds like somebody has a case of the HATES!!! NeYo is a great entertainer not taking anything away from The R. R-Kelly needs to stay humble not only does he have his little pee pee video court problems coming up but now he is about to get the business because of his recent assult problems with his publicist

    In the words Of E-40 “I’ts All Bad”

  • DROCK

    piss on Ne-Yo…oh wait…that was no pun intended

    LMAO!!!!

  • Bahama Mama

    MAN eff a Robert kelly…..but for real tho, ne-yo might’ve tried to holla at him on the sly and robert got uncomfortable…

  • Mary J Blige

    Sara:

    and i love that thing he does with his lips and his hat. he is so cool its unreal. without even trying. don’t worry Ne-YO!

    _________________________________________________________________________

    Funny because that’s one of the things I cant stand about Ne-Yo.

  • dani

    Alot of us are jumping to conclusions!..We don’t know if it was R.Kelly that dropped hijm it could be for other various reasons…R.Kelly would’ve dropped Keyshia for her acting like she the star!..lol..anyways we are making assumptions we don’t know why Ne-Yo is dropped sooner or later we’ll find out

    CO-SIGN on that Mary J……CO-SIGN….

  • Love HIM

    Ne-Yo is doing it! I think there’s some jealousy on the pedophile of Key-lo-lo’s part! HMMMM……

  • Fred

    I saw the show here in Atlanta. Ne-Yo ripped it. I always thought he was talented but his stage show was great. Of course like everyone else is saying, people mostly want to see R. Kelly, but Ne-Yo was second on that list to me. Maybe he was stealing some of R’s shine and they had to drop him.

  • awake

    Is Chester (the Molester) jealous?

  • 6 Figgas

    I heard Ne-Yo got dropped because his hat fell off during one of his dance routines and several people in the front row lost conciousness after seeing his alien dome…

  • Ms. Lova!

    That is sad Kells molesting azz and Keisha boney crackhead azz was jealous of ol’boy. I bought my damn tickets and best believe molesting Kells and boney Keish will not receive anymore of my money.

    GONNNEEEE

    Ms. Lova!

  • beast

    R. Kelly had nothing to do with Ne-yo being dropped from the tour, yes it is his tour however he (r.kelly) can not drop ANYONE from the tour, The tour promotor, sponsers however can… Jive records and Geffen which is owned by interescope, dropped ne-yo at the request from Kiesha Cole and her label, Ne-yo, whom was the hottest act next to Kells… should be looking at Kiesha Cole and her “reps” for this one. Def Jam should be putting out a statement soon, Jay-Z should step in on this… Considering one of his artist Beenie was allowed to not only do a song with Kells but a video also, I DO LIKE R. KELLY’S MUSIC, BUT HE IS WRONG NOT SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS… HE IS JIVE BREAD AND BUTTER WHEN IT COMES TO URBAN MUSIC,(I GEUSS J.TIMBERLAKE IS IN THERE ALSO) I WOULD THINK THAT HE HAS SOME PULL IN THIS SITUATION.

  • http://www.gravatar.com JawJa Swag

    Damn Neyo sorry for ya I did hear that u had the hottest performance of all of ‘em

  • http://www.myspace.com/pazjon1 Hey Hey

    This is STUPID

    I have tickets!!

    I don’t even want to go now…

  • dani

    I agree with Beast this was record label drama..probably between Keyshia and Ne-Yo’s label that had him dropped..I don’t think it was R.Kelly

  • http://upgradeitall.blogspot.com daria

    R Kelly is a child (which might explain his preference for the pre pubescent girls). Seriously, grow the f— up you has-been. The only person who I’d go to see on that tour is Ne-Yo

  • What the……?

    I heard Ne-Yo was drop because of a contract issue which I think is BS!!!! It was a reason that I didn’t purchased my tickets.

  • M-DADDY OAKLANDS FINEST

    @beast

    That makes a whole hell of alot of sense.

  • CubaLinda

    Now this is purely effed up!! I have tkts to the NY show @ Nassau Coliseum and I SWEAR Ne-Yo is the ONLY reason I was convinced to go!! I am pissed off as hell right now!! Calling ticketmaster to see about a REFUND!!… P.S.- Just like the Jay-Z Best of Both Worlds Tour, R. Kelly can’t stand someone else upstaging him. He wouldnt sell out otherwise and he knows it, has good music but missing that umphf we like today…

  • Yes I Said It

    Now more than ever, I really hope R Kelly gets convicted and goes to prison.

    He’s gotten away with too much grimy stuff for too long now.

  • hey

    oh well. shoot. it’s probably for the best. who wants to be on tour with a pedophile and a worn-out MJB knock-off anyway?

  • nono

    interesting…

  • Massah

    ne-yo, ne-yo, ne-yo!! get your own tour man – I’ll be all up in that piece! :)

  • Nico

    That is absoloutely ridiculous…I hope Keyshia didnt have anything to do with that.

  • Amber

    lol 6 figgas lol you all don’t know what happened & neither do I. I’m pissed though cause I have tickets for Dec 15th.

  • M-DADDY OAKLANDS FINEST

    Hey did anybody hear the rumor that NE-YO and T-Pain got into a fight backstage at a concert? I’m not sure if it was the tour that they are on but I heard they got into it

  • M-DADDY OAKLANDS FINEST

    @Amber

    What it do Oakland in this BIOTCH

  • VB

    r.kelly hates ppl outshining him on stage .he treid to sabotage jay-z on the best of both worlds tour before he got maced.

  • Yazzy

    honestly in my opinion ne-yo is the most talented…maybe he just needs to do a tour by his lonesome.. i dont think anyone would mind.

  • Jus Another Opinion

    Awaiting moderation WTF???? Do the spam y’all allow on her await moderation give me a eff break???

  • Elanael@yahoo.com

    Neyo got dropped because he’s Jay Z people. Stop hating Mr. Kelly.

  • NubianGoddez

    Sounds like the platinum pisser and resident pedophile is mad cauze people are feeling Ne-Yo more than his old tired perverted ass.

  • Brandi

    Good for Ne-Yo, I was going to buy tickets to see him until I found out that R. Kelly was headining the tour, and it was going to be all about R. It sucks now, but in the long run, it’s a good thing he’s not touring with him!

  • Whatchaknoaboutdat?

    Ne-yo should be glad that he’s off the drama tour!

  • Nita

    if NeYo satisfied the audiences, then keeping him on the tour means more money for everybody. it makes absolutely no sense to drop him. i hope there’s more to this story than black folks being crabs in a barrel. nobody can rise, if everybody is trying to keep each other down.

  • hotgal 07′

    oops sorry for the typos and screw ups

  • Mrs

    Don’t watch that hun- we get what your saying!

  • STAYAWAYORDER

    NE-YO, a true, respectable, talented youthie. NE-YO cannnot be held back, or sabotaged by dat weak action of R-FEELY.

    Bro, you are too righteous to be associated with a pedophile. We understand your position from all sides ( rep & respect with fans, immediacy of performance, your wrd & honor, career & $$$ realities, professionalism, etc.), but R-FEELY always reeks of brown s$%t. R-FEELY’s rep is diametrically opposed to yours.

    REMEMBER, JEALOUSLY IS AN ILLNESS. When it coughs, spews germs, it’s time to bounce to cleaner environs, anyway! When is dat faggot bi%^h getting convicted anyway???

    NE-YO, you reaffirm dat artists can be super, multi-talented and STILL RECIPROCATE RESPECT.

    Many have said it here, and what actualized is dat the Creator just removed your prescence away from this pedophile, and sent you back on your path.

    You WILL get yours in great ways, soon come, soon enough.

    MUCH RESPECT & LUV FOR NE-YO!

  • Curly Fries

    Damn! Kellz gave Ne-Yo a pissy deal!

  • DivaB

    R Kelly was just mad Neyo was taking his shine! Rock on NEYO..Rock on!

  • NeyoFan

    I am so dissappointed if that is the case. Kelz, I have been down with thru everything, if he is being a LITTLE BITHE I am going to chill on my fan committment to him. Neyo is hot right now and it shouldn’t matter as long as the money is coming in, WTH KELZ. I was really looking forward to seeing 3 of my favorite men in the R&B game. BOOOOOOOOOO on Kelz if this reason behind this is true!!!!!!!!!

  • EffYou

    Firts the best of both worlds tour,now this..I guess jay was right when he said he can’t handle someone else takin his shine.I’m sure the fact that Ne-Yo is signed under jay doesnt help either

  • pimp daddy

    i guess old chester the child molester felt neyo was to hot.

  • txshawty

    Even tho I joke about Ne-Yo, I luhhh that boi! lol

  • Ms. Lova!

    The statement did not elaborate on the reason behind Ne-Yo’s exit, but in an interview with BET.com, the artist did.

    “Let them (Jive) tell it, I was removed from the R. Kelly tour because of contractual agreements not being met, but that’s absolutely false,” Ne-Yo said. “I believe it was because the first few reviews of the show, people were talking more about my set than his, and I don’t think he liked that too much.”

  • Ms. Lova!

    The singer delivered two performances and reportedly did a great job, yet Ne-You was informed that he wouldn’t be continuing with the rest of the tour.

    In a statement, Ne-Yo’s business partner and manager, Tango, alleged that the star was dropped because he posed too much competition for the R.

    R. Kelly’s camp said Ne-Yo was relieved from the line-up because there was no signed contract. But that doesn’t make much sense to Ne-Yo.

    “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.

  • Sugarsweet

    I am a true fan of Kelz but it seems to be a pattern everytime he has a tour. It’s kinda making me lose respect for the guy.Damn is he jealous or what??? I don’t get it. Although I must admit that homeboy gives a hell of a show..

  • Natiera

    I’m so disappointed. I just bought tickets for this tour and it was a real struggle for me between seeing the singer I love and contributing to R. Kelly and now I’m not going to be able to see Neyo! I’m pissed and it clearly says on my ticket no refund.

    Cmone… he’s a nerd! I hate this boy…

  • kai

    Good thing Kells got pepper sprayed that mofo deserved it lol…….

  • WeClownPeepsLikeU

    I like K. Cole, but I believe she stated that she has more hits than Ne-Yo….WRONG! That boy has been writing and making hits for other people as well as himself for a minute now. As for the Tour, the boy most def brung the heat and neither R (let me at your daughter) Kelly or K. Cole could outshine him. It’s sad because that was a big part of the show that everyone talked about. Can’t blame a bad performance on him anymore.

  • Ms. Dee (The All Powerful 1)

    Kells = Jealous Girl!!!! LMAO!!! I’m sure Ne-Yo was killing it, and Kells just couldn’t stand him having that type of fan appreciation. Oh well, I’m sure he’ll (Ne-Yo) will move on to bigger and better!!!

  • hey girl

    ne-yo can go on tour himself or with that chris brown tour thing. who is r kelly tryin gto really appeal to? a younger female audience

  • aqueenwaits

    NEyo is absolutely hot and will soon replace RKelly who USED to be about great music and lyrics. RKelly has had sex with every woman in America EXCEPT me and my 2 daughters which happen to be hotties. RKelly is just jealous and who cares if NEyo is JayZ’s? Keisha Cole is great, but remember yaw, she’s gotta support her hood-rat family. Watch BET!
