This is far from breaking news, the documents originally leaked way back in 2005, but I stumbled across the lawsuit from
Jay-Z and
R. Kelly's disastrous "
Best of Both Worlds" tour and it's secretly the most fascinating things I've ever read and I had to share.As a quick reminder, Jay and Kelly embarked on a national, multi-million dollar "Best of Both Worlds Tour" that went down in flames, prompting Jay to sue the Pied Piper, and in doing so he lays out a day by day breakdown of just how balls crazy R. Kelly is.
How crazy is balls crazy? How about stopping mid-performance, assaulting the lighting director, hopping into a golf cart and then spending the rest of the night working as a McDonald's cashier. Seriously, check it out:
Oh, and that's only the beginning. Apparently Kelly also once attempted to flee a venue while crying hysterically, only to have his way out of the parking lot blocked by Jay's tour bus, he showed up to rehearsal three days late (days!) and he demanded additional money to cover the legal fees from his child porn trial.
The obvious lesson? Counting on R. Kelly to
not be balls crazy is a bad idea. I highly recommend you read the entire, oddly fascinating law suit
here.
