R. Kelly Reportedly Under Investigation In Georgia Following The 'Surviving R. Kelly' Documentary
Travis Scott Sued ForCancelling Performance And Pocketing $217K Advance
Travis Scott is being sued by Empire Music Ventures for cancelling on a 75-minute performance after collecting the $217,500 deposit, accord- ing to documents obtained by The Blast. The rapper was slated to entertain the Rhythm, Wine & Brews Ex- perience in Indio, CA on March 2, 2019 for a total pay- ment of $400,000.
After the deal was closed in November, with the check paid out on December 3rd, Trav’s team cancelled his performance on the same day with no explicit explanation, though Travis’ tour schedule

shows he is set to perform at Madison Square Garden in New York City on March 2nd.
Allegedly, language in his contract states he could not “contract or advertise any other performance within a 120-mile radius for 90 days before or 30 days after March 2.”
Travis was likely the main attraction of the festival – after the Astroworld rapper’s impromptu cancellation, the event’s organizers found no option but to release a state- ment saying, “Due to a last minute cancellation by our festival headliner, we have no other choice than to cancel the 2019 Rhythm, Wine & Brews Experience.”
R. Kelly is under investi- gation in Georgia following the airing of Lifetime’s Sur- viving R. Kelly docu-series. According to TMZ, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Of- fice has opened an investiga- tion into allegations made against the singer in the six- part documentary, which pre- miered last Thursday (January 3).
Investigators have report- edly reached out to several of the women featured in the se- ries, including Asante McGee, who allegedly es- caped Kelly’s home. They’ve also been talking to the attor- ney for Joycelyn Sav- age’s family.
Savage is one of Kelly’s alleged victims and one of the few who stood up for the Grammy Award-winning singer. Her parents were con- vinced she was being held against her will despite her July 2017 video stating other- wise.
Investigators are attempt- ing to track down the contact information for other women

involved. Although the D.A. isn’t currently commenting, investigators are reportedly being “flooded with calls” in the wake of the series.
Surviving R. Kelly dove into the details surrounding the multiple disturbing alle- gations against Kelly. The se- ries explored his alleged sexual relationship with an underaged Aaliyah and fea- tured several interviews with some of his alleged victims.
Daz Dillinger Indicted On Felony Drug Charges
Daz Dillinger was re- portedly indicted on two felony drug charges following his 2018 arrest for marijuana possession. TMZ reports the indictment was officially filed last month for possessing over an ounce of pot and liq- uid THC, both of which are felonies in the state of Geor- gia.
Dillinger was arrested at his Georgia home last Sep- tember after authorities con- ducted a drug raid. Atlanta police found 117 grams of marijuana, 10 THC pods, THC oil, a THC vaporizer and container in his home studio labeled “Cannabis Lean.”
He was originally facing 12 counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of more

than one ounce of marijuana, but evidently only two of those stuck.
If convicted, Tha Dogg Pound OG faces up to 25 years in prison.
