It's all because of you?? R&B recording artist and songwriter Ne-Yo and his booking agent are being sued for more than $700,000 after he stood his fans up at a scheduled performance in Trinidad last year, according to papers filed in Atlanta's Fulton County Superior Court. R&B crooner Ne-Yo was scheduled to perform during “Boxing Night” on Dec. 26, 2008 at a venue in the Port of Spain, Trinidad, according to documents filed Tuesday. Three weeks before the show, he rescheduled the performance to April 11, 2009, documents said.
Rescheduling the date wasn’t the problem. According to documents, Roy Maharaj, founder of Tristar Promotions in Trinidad, wired Ne-Yo $130,000 in advance. Tristar also paid his agent $6,500 for booking the show.
But Ne-Yo never showed up, and he hasn’t returned the money, basically stealing it... Maharaj alleges in court documents.
