Ne-Yo is $700,000 richer, and he has R. Kelly's egotistical grand-standing to thank. Rumor has it, R. Kelly kicked Ne-Yo off of his tour last year because the ladies were screaming a bit louder during the younger R&B singer's set than they were during his. That's blasphemy in Mr. Kelly's world! Instead of suing the problem-plagued Kelly, Ne-Yo sued the concert promotion company, and yesterday a judge ruled in his favor. Not that he needs the money — his recent "Big Red" windfall can buy him all the fedoras he ever wanted. [EUR]
