Ne-Yo sets the record on R. Kelly straight

New York, Sept 17 : American pop and R and B singer songwriter Ne-Yo would like to set the record regarding his feelings towards R. Kelly straight.

Ne-Yo had sued Kelly's tour promoter, Rowe Entertainment, after he was booted off Kelly's 2007 tour for allegedly upstaging the so-called star of the show.

"I don't hate R. Kelly," the New York Daily News quoted him as saying.

Ne-Yo, who won 700,320 dollars in damages, was very cool about the whole thing.

"It wasn't even really a feud," he revealed over dinner at Philippe.

"It's all in the past. I think I'm going to use the money and open up a club or a cigar bar in Atlanta," he added.
