R. Kelly Impersonator Explained
R&B musician R. Kelly has angered fans after allegedly sending an impersonator to perform in his place at a concert in Louisiana this weekend – or at least that’s what the promoters say.
“We was scammed because 10 o’clock we was there, no R. Kelly. 11 o’clock no R. Kelly, 12 o’clock no R. Kelly, 12:45 no R. Kelly. 1 o’clock here comes an impersonator,” says one of the attendees, while other adds “the advertisement online through Ticketmaster said that it was a Ced’s All Black Affair and R. Kelly performing live which did not happen last night.”

While the news reports say an impersonator came in place of R. Kelly, I’ve talked to a few radio DJ’s that I know in the city who say it was in fact R. Kelly. Turns out Kellz was paid for a walk through, NOT a concert or performance. He was simply paid to show up and party for 15-20 minutes. Also, the promoter says it wasn’t him who contacted the news station. The statement about him being duped and giving refunds is false.
Kanye Explains The Jesus Portrayal On Stage
During a recent interview with Wild 94.9 in San Francisco, Kanye West spoke about the significance of having Jesus portrayed at his concert.
“I had a friend of mine that’s a pastor there as we started discussing how we wanted to deliver it,” Kanye West said. “My girl even asked afterwards, ‘Is that weird if Jesus comes on stage?’ They’re like, ‘No. We do plays all the time. People play Jesus. You know what’s awesome about Christianity? We’re allowed to portray God. We’re allowed to draw an image of him. We’re allowed to make movies about him. Other religions, you’re not allowed to do that. That’s what’s really awesome about Christianity. That’s one of the really awesome things.'”
Drake & Chris Brown End Beef
In what could be considered the best news of 2013, it’s being reported that Chris Brown and Drake have ended their long-standing feud. Yes, you’re reading correctly.
According to the New York Post, Breezy and Drizzy reportedly hugged it out at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas this past weekend where both artists were performing.
“Drake came on Friday (Sept. 20) with his whole crew, and watched Chris’ entire set,” a source told the newspaper. “[After Brown’s performance], they were backstage hugging and drinking.” During this supposed love fest, they even talked about recording music together.
You can thank Def Jam music executive Abou Thiam, who is Akon‘s brother, for brokering the peace treaty between these two superstars.
However, the fallout from Brown and Drake’s champagne-throwing brawl is still ongoing.
Although the $16 million lawsuit against the entertainers — filed by W.i.P club owners — has been dismissed, there are still a few legal cases pending in the aftermath from the fight.
Particularly, Brown’s bodyguard, Patrick “Big Pat” Strickland, who has filed a lawsuit against Drake after he was bashed on his head with a champagne bottle. The assault left him “disfigured to his face, head and eyes,” according to his suit. If his case moves forward, Brown would have to testify against Drake, right?
And there’s also a French model who is suing the two music stars after his hand was injured during the melee.
So now that Brown and Drake are friends, does this mean that they will come together and help pay restitution for the patrons who were injured during the club brawl?
So you can see why this story sounds kind of fishy.
Nevertheless, if this report is true, then we’re ecstatic that Brown and Drake have buried the hatchet and are now bosom buddies.
