R. Kelly is being sued by a concert promoter who booked him for an upcoming concert. According to a new report by TMZ, the promoter named Darryl Austin was pissed after the R&B singer canceled his performance at the show scheduled to take place in Dallas next month, but failed to return the money the promoter had paid him.
Austin stated in his lawsuit that he hand-delivered $100,000 to Kelly's team in January as a deposit to hold him to his commitment for the concert. However, when he contacted the star's team again in February, they said they knew nothing about the event and they never agreed to have Kellz play there.
Austin then asked Kelly's team to return his money, but he only received $70,000. It means, the 48-year-old entertainer still owes him $30,000.
The promoter wants the court to make Kelly pay the money he owes or perform at the concert as originally planned.
