Ne-Yo gets $700,000 from concert promoter
Judge orders payout after R Kelly row
Ne-Yo has been awarded $700,000 (£350,000) after suing a concert promoter in the USA for unfair dismissal from an R Kelly tour last year.
The rapper was dropped from the tour after the promoter allegedly thought he had upstaged Kelly - which Ne-Yo denies.
According to Billboard.com, an LA judge has now ruled that Rowe Entertainment have to pay Ne-Yo and his touring company the cash.
