The Real Reason Ne-Yo's Departure


News was all across different sites about the drama sprulling with Ne-Yo's departure of R.kelly's double up tour. He hit up DC’s 93.9 radio station a few minutes ago to discuss with EZ Street
and the listeners about the real reasons he was dropped from the Double Up tour. Reports broke today stating that Ne-Yo had been dropped from the tour because of a certain unsigned contract. Ne-Yo did say in these reports that the whole situation was unfortunate because he had been practicing for months and had already performed shows.
But Ne-Yo now says that he was told to tell people his being dropped was due to financial and contractual issues. But actually it was because he challenged some of the goings on behind the scenes of the tour. And that may or may not have led to contractual obligations not being fulfilled. He discussed how simple things like a dressing room were not given to him and his dancers because R. Kelly wanted all 7 of the dressing rooms to himself. He also said that R. Kelly and his people were quite unprofessional and demanded Ne-Yo’s rehearsal times be cut short. Basically he wasn’t feeling the respect level given to him and said “No” to many of the unplanned disrespectful changes. He also says now that he has all this free time on his hands, he’s trying to put something together on his own for his fans.
