“The advertisement online through Ticketmaster said that it was a Ced’s All Black Affair and R. Kelly performing live which did not happen last night,” says a concert goer that wishes to remain anonymous.
The concert goer gave KNOE reporter Jeremy Pierre footage of the concert that she believes R. Kelly didn’t even attend. Instead an impersonator was sent in Kelly’s place.
“We was scammed because 10 o’clock we was there, no R. Kelly. 11 o’clock no R. Kelly, 12 o’clock no R. Kelly, 12:45 no R. Kelly. 1 o’clock here comes an impersonator,” the concert goer says.
We reached out to the party’s promoter, Cedric Johnson and in a response via text message.
Quote “I’m sorry. I got duped,” says Johnson.The text message went on to say that refunds would be given.
After airing this story earlier Sunday, Cedric Johnson contacted KNOE saying the text message sent to our Jeremy Pierre from his phone, did not come from him. It’s unclear whether refunds are being given at this time.
