Man masquerades as R Kelly
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 29 October 2013
A person pretending to be R Kelly tried to pull a DOOM-style stunt at a concert in Louisiana over the weekend, impersonating the R&B singer on stage (not very well, it seems) until he was found out by show-goers with eyes.
After reports that the unknown man had taken to the stage three hours after a promised R Kelly set was due to start, only to badly lip sync to some of the singer’s songs, the gig’s promoter Cedric Johnson was quoted as apologising, and claiming that he had been “duped” into booking the man thinking he was getting the real Kelly.
Though since then, Johnson has seemingly denied that he ever made that claim, adding that no R Kelly performance was ever billed for the show, with only a public appearance by the R&B star promised. And, Johnson seems to now claim, the real singer was in the building at some point during the night. .
R Kelly HQ was too busy posting things like this to comment.
