Remember back in January when R Kelly started his 25 date Double Up tour featuring J. Holiday, Keyshia Cole and Ne-Yo, only to kick Ne-Yo off the tour after the second date, because according to Ne-Yo, the crowd was loving him more than Kells? Well, the courts agree with Ne-Yo, sorta. A Los Angeles judge ordered R Kelly's promoter, Rowe Entertainment, to pay Ne-Yo $700,320 in lost wages. Superior Court Judge Malcolm Mackey made his default judgment after the Georgia based entertainment group refused to respond to the lawsuit filed by Ne-Yo under his real name, Shaffer Smith. At the time, the promoter blamed the dismissal on Ne-Yo's camp for not completing the proper paperwork.
