It has been reported that Ne-Yo has been removed from the R. Kelly tour because of contractual agreements not being met, but that's absolutely false," Ne-Yo told BET. Ne-Yo was told that his services were no longer needed. "I believe it was because the first few reviews of the show, people were talking more about my set than his and I don't think he liked that too much," said Ne-Yo.

*****UPDATE*****
Ne-Yo hit up DC’s 93.9 radio station yesterday 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 (he purposely remained vague on the issue)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 and slightly disrespectful changes. And apparently, after Keyshia Colethrew a fit and threatened to not perform on opening night because she didn’t like that R. Kelly’s people slated her to go on before Ne-Yo, they didn’t drop her for challenging their decisions. And Keyshia still ended up not performing that night. Ne-Yo says all that wasn’t cool and he’s being treated unfairly.
He says he definitely still respects R. Kelly musically, but not as a man. Sounds like The Kells’ divatude is back in play

This all sounds like the drama from Best of Both Worlds Tour with Jay-Z. We all know how that went down. Ne-Yo was asked about whether any lawsuits would come of this and he responded with “We’ll see what happens” 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.
Thats right do your own thang Ne-Yo
