Well… his management

So, Ne-Yo was performing with Kells and got kicked off. Ne-yo was promised $700,000 and some changed and only made two performances. Although I have no idea exactly how much he was paid, it was significantly different.
Ne-Yo is saying that people got mad cause he was outshining the self-proclaimed “Pied Piper”. Leonard Rowe of Rowe Entertainment, R Kelly’s management, said there was only verbal agreements and nothing was written.
“I had no other alternative but to release Ne-Yo from the tour. From a business perspective, it would have been extremely difficult for me to continue under this cloud of uncertainty,” says Rowe.

The judge decided in Ne-Yo’s side.
