R. Kelly gets sued for canceling show in Dallas
Local fans were disappointed when R. Kelly canceled an upcoming performance at the Musical Hall at Fair Park set for April.
Now, a concert promoter is suing the R&B legend for allegedly backing out of the show and stiffing him on a six-figure deposit. TMZ reports:
Darryl Austin says he hand delivered a $100k deposit to Kelly’s team in January for him to headline an April concert in Dallas. According to the docs … when February rolled around R. Kelly’s rep played dumb and claimed to know nothing about the show.
Austin says the real insult came when the self-proclaimed Pied Piper of R&B returned the deposit … $30,000 SHORT!!

Austin wants R. Kelly to either perform at the concert or pay back the money his team allegedly skimmed from the deposit.
