R.KELLY GETS AN EYEFUL
October 30, 2004 -- R&B singer R.Kelly and two of his bodyguards were pepper-sprayed in the face last night during a concert at Madison Square Garden by someone in rapper Jay-Z's entourage — forcing Kelly to quit the concert and go to the hospital, Kelly's publicist said. Kelly had performed several songs with Jay-Z, but then suffered a meltdown during a solo when he abruptly stopped singing, claiming audience members were waving guns.
"I can't perform under these conditions," said Kelly, before storming off the stage around 9:30 p.m..
While security guards investigated the threat, Jay-Z's entourage grew increasingly annoyed at Kelly's antics.
A Jay-Z hanger-on identified as "Tata" — infuriated that the show had been delayed — walked up to Kelly and pepper-sprayed the singer and two of his bodyguards.
"Someone in Jay-Z's entourage sprayed him and two bodyguards," said Kelly publicist Allan Mayer. "I think he was upset because they had delayed the show."
Law enforcement sources said no guns were recovered.
Mayer added that Kelly was heading back onstage because he "wanted to perform, but some idiot decided to spray him."
Paramedics tended to Kelly and the two bodyguards before they were taken to St. Vincent's Hospital to get their eyes flushed out.
"I can't imagine Jay-Z had anything to do with this," Mayer said.
Jay-Z returned to the stage alone minutes later and promised audience members they would still get their money's worth.
"Give me a few minutes, I will put on a show for you guys," Jay-Z vowed.
He then recruited rappers Ja Rule, Usher, Foxy Brown and Mary J. Blige, who were sitting in the first few rows, to perform onstage with him.
The show went on, but Jay-Z said he doesn't know why Kelly claimed people were pointing guns at him.
"You can't get a gun inside Madison Square Garden," Jay-Z told Hot 97 FM radio. <<<

See, my main question is, even if they DID have guns in the Garden (which, after 9/11, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT...) why in the WORLD would they be waving them during R. Kelly's performance? I would think that that's the point where you begin to grind...not give an ode' to thuganomics...listening to "Step in the name of Love" never made me wanna shoot nobody...
Kelz is full of it, unfortunately, because his music is good...I mean, come on, talk about his personal problems all you want, but the mans music is good...I was gonna get a ticket to the show on the 12th, but I wasn't even sure if they were gonna have it...I know my boy is gonna be **** if Kelz is off the tour...
How did they work together for two albums without any record of any beef...and then cant perform a few songs together...damn that ****..
