R Kelly Asks Court To Help Him Get Double Up Payments
R Kelly has asked an LA judge for help in collecting $3.4 million which he reckons he is owed by the promoter of his Double Up tour from late last year.
Kelly's pay dispute with promoters Rowe Entertainment, and its owner Leonard Rowe, began even before the tour had been completed.Last month an arbitrator in the dispute between the singer and the promoter ruled that Kelly was owed $3.4 million, but Rowe are yet to pay and reportedly continue to dispute the monies owed, despite not issuing a formal defence during arbitration. Kelly is looking for the LA courts to confirm the $3.4 million settlement and to help him get the cash out of Rowe.
The R Kelly tour has been nothing but a disaster for Rowe. Ne-Yo, who was initially the support act on the tour but was dropped after just two shows, won a $700,000 judgement against the promoter, while investors in the show have alleged they have been misled about the venture's finances and lost out as a result, and they are now taking legal action on the matter.
