Ticket sales for R. Kelly’s The After Party Tour were so piss poor, he had to cancel several dates, including stops in Dallas and Los Angeles. According to Billboard, the canceled tour has even caused a rift between Kellz and his booking agent Ron Kaplan who works for Monterey International in Chicago. When asked if he still represented Kelly, Kaplan told Billboard “no comment.”
The cancellation follows allegations the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer has a sex cult of submissive women he’s holding against their will, which he says is “a bunch of crap.” He’s also been under scrutiny for years because of his alleged preference for underage girls.
Many people on social media seized the moment and celebrated the cancellation, citing the R&B legend’s controversial history. Others were actually upset they wouldn’t get to see Kellz perform.
Check out some of those reactions below.
Yeah cuz Chris Brown, OJ Simpson and R. Kelly all committed the same crimes (any crime against women) so they all deserve to be grouped together? The current social media driven, where’s my phone so it can tell me how to live – mentality is so stupid
Jesus Christ, the “journalism” on this trash excuse for a website continues to reach new lows, the fact that an editor approved this for publishing is astounding – the clown that wrote this shouldn’t be allowed write customers names on Starbucks cups, nevermind actual articles
Ural is a emasculated feminist, who listens to Hiphop but then writes articles complaining about misogyny or any political incorrectness in the lyrics, Trent Clark and a lot of the other writers on this site are jokes
Blame Buzzfeed not Ural he’s just showing the twitter fallout, Jim DeRogatis was the journalist that wrote the bullshit slam piece on the dude.
Convicted without a trial is what is going on here we live in times where if some tv and radio gossip rags can convict you off someone else’s word not one piece of evidence the real question who has R,Kelly pissed off ?
