R. Kelly pisses off fans in Austin by doing a 75 second concert

©2022 Dangerous Minds | Privacy Policy

This past weekend in Austin, Texas, R. Kelly performed for 75 seconds to a packed-house of people who payed up to $950 each to see what can only be described as a massive rip-off.
My wife and I almost went to see this “show” - out of curiosity more than anything else. The buzz around town was generally skeptical as to whether the show was legit or not. The venue where it was scheduled to take place, The Mansion, flies under the radar of the local music press, so there was little advance hype. But a lot of people ended up going and were, in my opinion, treated like shit.
Considering R. Kelly’s past karma, this whole debacle doesn’t seem like a smart way to get right with the cosmic powers that be…or your fans.
Here’s a first-person report from Devon Tincknell as it appeared in the Austinist :
Last night, I went to see R. Kelly at the Mansion, a strip club in North Austin, and it was one of the biggest scams I’ve ever experienced. Sure, there were moments leading up to the show where I wondered, “R. Kelly is playing at a strip club I’ve never heard of and general admission tickets are only 30 bucks? That’s almost too good to be true,” but I never expected it to be as worthless as it turned out. Being led into an alley by a hand drawn cardboard sign that promised a “Free R. Kelly concert” and then being beaten with a brick and robbed would perhaps have been more satisfying; at least you could file a police report.
Like most modern frauds, this story begins online with an Eventbrite page selling tickets for “An Intimate Night w/ R. Kelly (Mothers Day Weekend).” Tickets ranged from $30 for general admission all the way up an escalating price scale caste system of VIP and celebrity room statuses to the ultimate baller package of $950 for a super-duper-ultra-pimp-VIP bottle service table accommodating eight people. It was a little odd that the R. Kelly of “Space Jam” soundtrack fame-and-acclaim would be playing a remote strip club rather than say, the Frank Erwin Center, but it seemed plausible. Maybe people had finally lost interest in the plot line of “Trapped in the Closet” and Kells couldn’t pack the house like he used to. I mean, if they’re selling $950 tickets it’s got to be a real R. Kelly concert, right?
My stomach dropped a little when we showed up at a swanky strip club near the junction of 183 and 290 and right past the entrance was a sign proclaiming “NO REFUNDS.” My fellow concert goers and I joked that they were just going to play us some R. Kelly music videos, but once we saw the room we were too excited by the idea of seeing R. Kelly perform up close and personal to really believe this could all just be a rip off. R. Kelly’s legend is so great that Aziz Ansari does a bit where he simply describes going to an R. Kelly concert. And here we were, about to watch the man perform on a stage five feet from us. A stage with stripper poles on it.
Doors opened at 9 p.m. and we arrived around 10. We camped out a few feet back from the lip of the stage and danced to a DJ playing the generic rap mix you’d hear at any inner city middle school prom. We were excited as fuck. Of course, as 10 became 10:30, then 11, then midnight, without R. Kelly live and in person wowing us with his R&B styles, that excitement diminished. From time to time, a hype man yelled at the crowd, “You people ready to party?! You don’t seem like you’re excited enough for R. Kelly to come out yet!”
Sometime after midnight, he starts yelling things along the lines of “R. Kelly is in the building!” We’ve been standing around for hours but we muster all the enthusiasm we can. The strip club staff begins to clear out the VIP room for R. Kelly. Wow, okay, now it’s looking like R. Kelly actually will show! Finally, at 12:43 in the morning, R. Kelly and his posse take the stage to a medley of his hits. Kells grins at the cheering crowd, everyone loses their shit and starts taking photos with their phones, while R. Kelly just stands there smoking a cigar. Then he walks over to the VIP area and touches more hands and stands there. He is not singing. This parade goes on for a worrisome amount of time.
Finally, he finds a mic and sings a very brief a capella ditty. This is followed by a lazy rendition of “Ignition (Remix)” sung over the album version with his vocals still on it. Then after he invites all the pretty ladies to the VIP section to party with him, he moves over there and sits down. It becomes very obvious that this is it; this is the R. Kelly “performance” we just waited hours for. A moment later, R. Kelly gets on the mic again and DEMANDS that pretty ladies come party with him in VIP or “he is going to be up out this bitch.” Up out this bitch? But you just got IN this bitch, Mr. Kelly!
With the VIP area packed to the gills by a flood of ladies - so much for those exclusive hundred dollar tickets, I guess - my friends and I decided this was total bullshit and left. We didn’t pay 30 fucking dollars to party in the same room as R. Kelly’s VIP section.
If you pay for an “intimate night” with R. Kelly and it takes place in a public venue, not in a hotel room with a tarp laid over the bed, do you have a right to expect a musical concert? I believe so. When I go to the zoo, I don’t expect the tigers and polar bears to sing “Bump-n-Grind” for me. Thus, when I go see R. Kelly, a man who is famous for performing music, I don’t expect him to stand there sleepily and have his photo taken. If you are a musician and the event does not specifically say “an appearance by” or “autograph signing” or “LIVE… and drunk and not performing, just sitting in VIP,” I believe the audience has a right to expect an actual concert.
In the end however, what really bothers me is that R. Kelly is a musician supported by fans who stood by him AFTER HE PEED ON AN UNDERAGED GIRL. People that like R. Kelly’s music know he peed on a girl and have forgiven him for it! And then how does he repay that loyalty? By tricking people into buying expensive tickets for a Mother’s Day “concert,” making them wait on their feet for over three hours, and then performing a sub-par karaoke at Beerland rendition of “Ignition (Remix)?” Happy Mother’s Day, R. Kelly. I feel like I just got pissed on.
Too drunk to funk? After reading another account of Kelly’s behavior at the club, I wonder if he was too drunk to perform even if he had wanted to.
From Austin360 :
Around 1:30 a clearly loopy R. Kelly came back out and said he wasn’t contractually obligated to sing - so what he had done was a favor, of sorts - and that he was there to get drunk and if the crowd would chill out and let him do so (from the looks of him by that point, no one had had much luck stopping him) he might come back out and do some more.
These photos of Kelly at The Mansion kind of tell the tale. His performance seems to consist of chomping on a big fat Cohiba while blessing the swooning multitudes.
In this video, the crowd starts booing as a surly DJ explains that R. Kelly don’t do shit for less than $250,000.

Update: Ticket sales website Eventbrite is offering refunds to the folks who bought tickets to R. Kelly’s Austin “show.” They acknowledge that the promoter misrepresented the event. Eventbrite should be given kudos for doing the right thing. What about the event promoters Exit Black ? So far, they haven’t been heard from.

The celebrity attorney, who is representing three women who’ve accused the R&B singer of sexual assaulting them when they were underage, also claims he is aware of a third tape.
Michael Avenatti, who is representing three women accusing R. Kelly of sexual assault, described to The Daily Beast on Tuesday the second video he obtained of the R&B star with an underage girl.
According to Avenatti, the video shows Kelly performing and receiving oral sex, peeing on the girl’s anus, vagina, right breast, and face. He penetrates the girl vaginally and anally, chokes her, and repeatedly refers to her as 14. She also refers to herself as 14. He coaches her on what to say and adjusts the camera angle like he’s shooting a porn video. Avenatti said there is no question the man is R. Kelly, and that the other person is 14.
On Twitter, Avenatti shared some incriminating lines that Kelly allegedly says in the tape, including “Give me that 14 year old pussy” and “Show daddy that 14 year old pussy.” He also claimed to have “substantial evidence that R. Kelly and his enablers purposely hid this tape from prosecutors in connection with his 2008 trial and obstructed justice by paying witnesses to assist them in an effort to destroy all copies of the tape prior to trial.”
Avenatti told The Daily Beast that he is aware of a third tape showing Kelly with an underage victim. He said he is working to get the tape.
The girl on this new tape, which Avenatti said he submitted to prosecutors at the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office in Chicago yesterday, is the same person as the one on a previous tape submitted by Avenatti, according to the attorney. CNN reportedly reviewed this prior tape, and it also allegedly shows Kelly “performing multiple sex acts” and urinating on a girl who repeatedly refers to herself as 14 years old. Both videos contain sex acts that are similar to those in a previous video that emerged during Kelly’s child pornography in 2002 (he was later acquitted).
Kelly’s attorney, Steve Greenberg, told The Daily Beast: “I believe that the public discussion of child pornography is possibly illegal. I would also hope that Mr. Avanetti [sic] would respect the process but he does not. Unfortunately he fails to follow the ethical rules that bind us as attorneys in Illinois.”
Avenatti said that Chicago police have been “phenomenal.”
“This is a bad man,” Avenatti told The Daily Beast. “This guy is a psychopath. There’s no question about it and when this thing finally gets busted wide open, people are going to be shocked at the level of depravity. I know I am.”
“If these girls weren’t black and poor, for the most part, this would have ended a long time ago,” he added.
On Monday night, Kelly was released from jail after posting a $100,000 bond on his $1 million bail.

When Dave Chappelle impersonated R. Kelly in a sketch on his show back in 2003, the embattled R&B singer wasn’t too happy about the homage.

When the comedian took the stage on Wednesday night at WeHo Improv in Los Angeles, he said that some of the musician’s “goons” threatened him after the “Piss on You” video aired on the Comedy Central program Chappelle’s Show , according to a video obtained by TMZ .

The parody in question is a reference to child pornography charges brought against R. Kelly. The central piece of evidence in the trial was an alleged videotape mailed to the Chicago Sun-Times in 2002. Prosecutors claimed it showed Kelly engaging in sexual acts, including the alleged urination, with a girl as young as 14. Kelly and the girl denied it was them depicted in the video. Kelly was not charged with assault, but rather with child pornography. After a month-long trial, in 2008, the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer was acquitted of all 14 charges.

Chappelle’s take on the incident included lines such as “Your body, your body is a port-o-potty,” and “The only thing to make my life complete is when I turn your face into a toilet seat.”

After Chappelle’s friend prompted him to discuss his 2003 interaction with R. Kelly — made current by Lifetime’s recent, explosive documentary about the singer’s alleged sexual abuse — the Chi-Raq actor recalled attending a Common concert that year in Chicago.

“His dude bust in my room,” Chappelle said. “I don’t know if it was [Kelly’s] goons [but] they sure did like him.”

The footage later shows the comic recalling what R. Kelly said to him about “Piss on You.”

“He said, ‘How are you gonna do the video of me peeing on [girls] like that?’ … and I said, ‘How you gonna do the video?’ ” Chappelle quipped, referencing the alleged tape from 2002.

Earlier this week, one of the co-creators of Chappelle’s Show , comedian Neal Brennan, told a similar story when he was a guest on the morning radio show The Breakfast Club .

“R. Kelly wanted to fight Dave,” Brennan said Tuesday. “He literally stepped — his goons stepped to Dave in Chicago — and Dave’s goons intervened, and the goons negotiated.”

The TV writer also addressed the backlash the show’s cast and crew received at the time. Critics claimed that “Piss on You” made light of child sexual abuse.

“I don’t think people understand what comedy is supposed to do,” Brennan explained. “We will observe things, we will make fun of things. Did people want us to round up a posse and go arrest R. Kelly? Like, what were we supposed to do?”

He continued: “We also did a white supremacist sketch. I don’t think we normalized white supremacy. Our job is to poke fun at things, and even if it’s bleak, we still poke fun at it. We were trying to humiliate a guy who’s know for peeing. It’s, like, insane.”

Lifetime’s Surviving R. Kelly aired from Jan. 3 through Jan. 5 and featured wide-ranging interviews with Kelly’s family members , former friends and colleagues — but most notably, women who claim that for decades the hit-making singer and producer used his power and influence to sexually and physically abuse women and young girls.

One such story was told by R. Kelly’s backup singer, Jovante Cunningham, who met him when she was 14, according to the doc. Cunningham claims she saw R. Kelly, at the time 27, allegedly having sex with late R&B singer Aaliyah, then 15, on a tour bus. R. Kelly’s ex-wife Andrea “Drea” Kelly also detailed her alleged abuse for the cameras .

Lawyers for R. Kelly have previously declined PEOPLE’s request for comment.

However, in an interview with the Associated Press this past Friday , Chicago-based attorney Steve Greenberg, who represents the singer, called the series “disgusting” and claimed that producers told “disgruntled” women incriminating things to say about Kelly off camera in an effort to incriminate the Grammy winner.

“Some producer went running around and solicited all these people, did a Jerry Springer-esque show and there is all this uproar,” Greenberg said in the taped interview.

“The series is trash TV,” he explained. “There’s no reason to watch the series … The allegations aren’t true because he never knowingly had sex with an underage woman

He concluded: “He never forced anyone to do anything, he never held anyone captive, he never abused anyone.”

Producers for the program responded to Greenberg’s claims in a statement to PEOPLE, saying: “We are enormously proud of the series. The powerful stories from the women in the documentary speak for themselves. Their honesty and candor has resonated with millions of viewers.”

Greenberg denied PEOPLE’s request for further comment.

To date, no charges have been brought in Kelly’s part-time residence of Chicago. But the New York Times reported last week that investigators from the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office in Georgia contacted Gerald A. Griggs, the lawyer for Timothy and Jonjelyn Savage. The parents claim that the singer is holding their daughter, Joycelyn Savage, against her will. Timothy and Jonjelyn were interviewed in the docuseries.

“We hope that it will turn into a fruitful investigation and it will result in the return of Joycelyn Savage to her family or, at the very least, that she start opening continuous conversations and interactions with her family like she had before she met Mr. Robert Sylvester Kelly,” Griggs told PEOPLE on Wednesday.

The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office has declined PEOPLE’s request to comment, as did the Atlanta and John’s Creek police departments.

TMZ also reported that the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office has opened an investigation into the allegations made in the docu-series, adding that investigators reached out to Asante McGee , who spoke to PEOPLE about her experience escaping from Kelly’s residence.

However, a representative for McGee has denied to PEOPLE that she has been contacted by authorities.

R. Kelly ’s former girlfriend Joycelyn Savage says the singer urinated on her during sex despite her protests and forced her to get abortions at home.
Joycelyn, who had been by Kelly’s side for the past several months, recently left the singer and is speaking out about her experience.
Savage describes two abortions she was forced to undergo after becoming pregnant with Kelly’s baby. He allegedly forced her to get the procedures done inside their home.
She first found out she was pregnant in 2016. She wrote, “I realized I was pregnant by this monster. Eventually, I ended up getting an abortion I was forced to get the surgery done at his house. He didn’t want me going to the hospital because news would break out.”
Savage continued, “I kept thinking to myself he just wants me to be safe, he wants the best for me he thinks someone is going to take me away from him. But it was me being delusional why would someone claim to love to keep me locked up like some damn animal.”
She would become pregnant again in 2018 and was forced to have another abortion in the middle of his legal troubles.
She described how Kelly prohibited her from calling him anything but “daddy” and “master.” One time she claims to have called him “babe”, which resulted in him choking her until she passed out. She woke up with severe bruises around her neck and was told to hide the marks.
“I had bruises around my neck, and I was told by him to wear a turtle neck or a scarf to cover them up whenever he would take me out in public.. I was frightened to tell anyone about this because of what he may do next.”
“The only time he would care for me is when the media is making him seem bad and saying that I was kept for a hostage,” she said.
Savage said Kelly would urinate on her and others despite her pleading for him to stopShe said, “I’ve been peed on numerous of times I really didn’t want to say this but the truth needs to be heard.”
Savage claims she often saw Kelly with younger girls but she wasn’t allowed to talk to them.
“I couldn’t talk to any of them until it was my time I had to wait in my room until rob was ready for me or his assistant will come in get me. I was forced to come out of my room some days I didn’t feel like being Roberts c-m rag or punching bag.”R. Kelly’s lawyer Steve Greenberg released a statement accusing Savage of trying to exploit the alleged child sex predator.
He said, “It is unfortunate that Jocelyn now seeks to make money by exploiting her long time, loving relationship with Robert. Obviously if she were to tell the truth no one would pay so she has, unfortunately, chosen to regurgitate the stories and lies told by others for her own personal profit.
