The Buzz: R.Kelly denies hard hitting "Love"

Report by Mr Smith

'Alleged musical underaged sexer upper " R. Kelly (real name Robert Sylvester Kelly) is being sued by a man who claims the musician attacked him and broke a promise to pay him for a song idea.

Henry "Love" Vaughn (who apparently is not related to 'actor' Vince Vaughn in any way, despite our incessent questioning) says in his lawsuit that he has been a "mentor and guide" to Kelly since he was a teenager and has worked for him on and off for years.

The aptly named Henry "Love" Vaughn alleges that in February he went to Kelly's home in Olympia Fields, Illinois, to watch a basketball game and one of the star's other employees became "verbally abusive".

After that, Vaughn's suit claims, Kelly,39, and others dragged him to the basement, attacked him and held him against his will.

Olympia Fields police investigated the alleged attack but decided not to file charges, Commander James Keith said.

Vaughn also alleges that the song Step in the Name of Love was his brainchild and that Kelly reneged on an agreement to give him half the proceeds from the track.

A statement from a Kelly spokesman said the lawsuit was a "pathetic collection of half-truths, distortions, and outright lies, apart from where Vaughn mentored Robert, in his teens, about love that could be true".

Vaughn's (talking) suit seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages and court costs.

R Kelly on the otherhand still has numerous underage sex allegations to fight.
