R. KELLY SUES CLUB PROMOTERS OVER FLIERS: Singer claims they used his name and falsely claimed he was hosting an event

R. Kelly is suing two Los Angeles club promoters for using his name and image to promote an event without his permission.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, claims the pair of promoters from Sugar nightclub featured his name and face on fliers for an event they claimed R. Kelly was hosting.

Kelly says this constitutes "false advertising" - because he knew nothing about the party.
