R. Kelly is getting sued by a private investigator who claims he never received payment from Kelly after doing work for his trial.

Via ContactMusic:

R. KELLY’s child pornography case is coming back to haunt him – he’s been accused of failing to pay a private investigator he hired to recover evidence that could have incriminated him.
Private detective Charles Freeman is suing Kelly for outstanding fees totalling $300,000 (£212,765).
The overdue amount is alleged to relate to Kelly’s 2008 trial, in which he was exonerated of 14 charges, including having sex with a minor and videotaping himself engaging in sexual intercourse with a girl as young as 13 years old.
Kelly, who faced up to 15 years in jail, has always maintained his innocence.
However, in legal papers filed last week (ends27Feb09) in Missouri federal court, Freeman alleges Kelly hired his services during the well-publicised trial to “obtain and/or recover certain tapes that were said to incriminate” the singer.
Freeman is seeking damages plus interest and costs.

Mediaoutrage- Kelly knows he should have wrote that check on the spot after dodging a much deserved prison sentence.

Neyo has made a rather nice come up as a result of being kicked off of the R. Kelly tour months ago.

Via Eurweb:

*A concert promoter has been ordered by the court to pay  Ne-Yo almost a million dollars stemming from A lawsuit filed earlier this year.

If you recall, the singer/songwriter/producer was let go from the R. Kelly tour last year after only two shows. He claimed he was dropped because he had upstaged Kelly, an allegation the Chicago based performer vehemently denied.

Ne-Yo instead sued the tour’s promoter, Georgia-based Rowe Entertainment Inc., which, interestingly, never answered the lawsuit.

However, the company did post a statement on its website, after the lawsuit’s filing, that said that it couldn’t obtain a “final, fully executed contract” from Ne-Yo’s agent.

Apparently, it didn’t matter because last week Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Malcolm Mackey ordered the company to pay Ne-Yo (real name: Shaffer Smith)  and his touring company $700,320.

Mediaoutrage- We know that concert promoter is pissed.

Singer Joe shared some interesting information with Eurweb about the sabotaging of his career which he says was spearheaded by none other than the Pied Piper himself Rrrrrruuuuh.

Via Eurweb:

*He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but R&B artist Joe felt something wasn’t quite right with his situation at Jive Records. So after 11 years on the label and six albums, the singer decided earlier this year to bounce and give the independent route a try.

It wasn’t until after he left the label that Joe says he found out what was behind his perceived stalled progress. He says his own label mate, R. Kelly, put pressure on Jive execs and radio stations to fall back on promoting his records when the singles appeared to be getting too much attention.

“R. Kelly was very instrumental in making a lot of decisions when it came to my records being played on the radio,” Joe told EUR’s Lee Bailey Tuesday. “He would make a call to the radio station or to the label and say, ‘Hey, this Joe record is too hot right now. Yall need to pull that back.’ And they would oblige.”

Joe says there were a lot of shady things that went down at Jive and he’s happy to finally be able to vent his frustrations freely, now that he’s off the label. “It’s incredible that now I get the opportunity to, I don’t know, maybe pay [R. Kelly] back in some sort of side bar kind of thing.”

The 35-year-old Columbus, GA native said R-ruh did not succeed in sabotaging his career, which includes seven Grammy Award nominations, three gold albums and two platinum discs.

“I’m still very relevant in the game. But yeah, he did try to make some decisions when it came down to my records being on fire, and climbing up the charts and on the radio stations,” Joe said of Kelly. “He felt like they should pull back because he felt he was more important. And with their loyalty to him, they obliged.”

Joe says he didn’t find out about all of this until after he left Jive six months ago. His exit, instead, had to do with his belief that it was “just time to do my own thing.”

Mediaoutrage- Joe happens to be mistaken about one thing and that is his being relevant to anything music related at this moment. This definitely sounds like something that hating pissinator would do. Egos.
