R.Kelly to be questioned over Tour Scam

Sheesh, what's up with this??

R. Kelly is to be questioned over his alleged role in a tour scam in South Africa.

The singer has been accused of profiting $130,000 from a tour despite failing to appear, according to reports.

Local woman Busiswe Zakwe has been arrested for allegedly swindling thousands from investors by promising them they would benefit from ticket sales if they brought an R. Kelly tour to the country in 2005.

Kelly never appeared in the country, but Zakwe claims she deposited the money into his account.

Local police have confirmed the bank account information that Zakwe claims to be Kelly's is authentic, however the whereabouts of the money is unknown.

Police are reportedly now seeking to question Kelly about the cash.

Zakwe has been charged with fraud and is due to appear in a local court on 10 September.
