R. Kelly Got People Heated After He Refused To Perform At A Concert He Was Headlining!

R&B hit machine R. Kelly was scheduled to headline an event called Soulfest AZ Saturday, April 25, at Veterans Memorial Park in Tolleson, but he never took the stage.

He did, however, post a message to his Arizona fans on Facebook, claiming that the show's promoters, the Northwest Black History Committee, hadn't paid him.

"Yo, what's up? It's your boy Kellz," the message began. "And I just want to let y'all know, I'm right here in Arizona right now. Big ups to all my Arizona fans out here waiting on Kellz. But I gotta let y'all know, unfortunately, I'm not gonna be able to perform even though I'm right here in my trailer and I'm ready to go on stage. But I just got bad news that my management never told me, that they did not give me my money. I haven't gotten no money for doing this show.

"They told me they had the money, so when I got here, the money wasn't here. So it's nothing personal against my fans. This is business, y'all. And I hope y'all understand. You know, when they get they money up and they ready to do business and do business correct, R. Kelly will be back here in Arizona to give y'all the best show you ever seen in your life. I love y'all and once again I'm sorry."

Late Sunday afternoon, a SoulFestAZ Facebook page announced: "Before even attempting to explain the reasons leading to the unfortunate failure of the R. Kelly event, we would like to sincerely apologize. The UNTRUE rumors surrounding the event and expressed by the Artist will be addressed in a legal setting.
