Kelly Price was forced to pull out of a show Friday night after a promoter failed to pay when she arrived.

The singer went live to inform her fans about the ordeal. Still in full glam, she explained that the promoter had pushed back the payment several times that day. However, given her history with the individual, Price says she showed up anyway, only to learn that they still didn’t have her money.

“I did show up. I actually just left the venue because they weren’t able to complete the transaction. I wasn’t willing to wait to have the completion of the transaction done,” she shared.

Price didn’t share too many details surrounding the show itself. She referenced New Orleans in the video but had previously been promoting a show on her Instagram that was to take place in Baton Rouge, which is about 82 miles northwest of New Orleans. That lineup also featured Keith Sweat, Adina Howard, and Brownstone and was also slated for Friday, December 6th. Noticeably, Price turned the comments off on that post.

“I love New Orleans. And I know that New Orleans loves me. And I know that a lot of times, people want to believe that the artists are on weird stuff or whatever the case may be. And people can have their opinions. But the reality of it is I’ve been doing this over 30 years. And if I was really a flake, I still wouldn’t be out here performing…It’s always a better look for me to be able to take the stage. I’ve known that my entire career. However, at some point, sometimes you can do a favor for a person. Sometimes, you do a favor just because the audience is there. But the reality of it is, you do too many favors, people start believing that they can bring you in and not pay you to sing.”

Price stated that she would give the promoter the opportunity to make things right in hopes that she could return to the area for her fans.
