As the War of the Worlds battle between R. Kelly and Jay-Z rages on, the latest development looks to give Kells the upper hand. A Manhattan Supreme Court judge has dismissed Hov’s counterclaims against his former Best of Both Worlds collaborator.
“[As of this morning], Kelly’s case against Jay-Z still proceeds, but Jay-Z has no case against R. Kelly,” Kelly‘s spokesperson Allan Mayer said according to MTV.
The incident in question stems from the ill-fated Best of Both Worlds tour, which ended in a fog of controversy. R. Kelly then filed a $75 million dollar lawsuit alleging things such as “sabotage” of his show by Jay-Z. Jay, in turn, struck back with a countersuit of his own saying that the tour with Kelly was “a nightmarish odyssey” but now the courts feel that Jay’s case has no merit and has been tossed out.
No court date has been set as of yet.
