Ne-Yo will receive $700,320 in lost wages.  The controversy over whether R. Kelly booted R&B star Ne-Yo from his January “Double Up” tour because of Ne-Yo’s talent or because of a technicality has ended with a price tag. An L.A. judge has ordered Kelly’s promoter, Rowe Entertainment, to pay Ne-Yo $700,320, in lost wages. Ne-Yo claimed Kelly was hatin’ because audiences were loving Ne-Yo’s opening set, while the promoter said paperwork was an issue – though it seems that fixing the paperwork might have been an obvious remedy. Rowe gave no response to the lawsuit filed under Ne-Yo’s given name, Shaffer Smith. So the producer and performer won by default. And he still gets to call R. Kelly a hater.

Skull Gang crew member denies being robbery victim. Depending on who you believe, the Skull Gang’s Juelz Santana lost an expensive necklace after a promoter evened the score on a debt, or Juelz was just treated rudely. The promoter allegedly lost $70,000 on a gig with Santana’s crew and later caught up with the Gang in the U.K. After reportedly attacking the rapper in his hotel room, but being held back by security, the promoter and his crew allegedly followed Santana to his new overnight spot and snatched the chain. Juelz says he wasn’t robbed, but that there was, indeed, a confrontation. He says the beef was about a gig paid in advance to his former manager, which never took place.
