Last night, the Pied Piper of R&B went to London Town (Hammersmith Apollo to be exact) to perform and it looks like he put on a show.

He perfomed his classics as well as singles from his recently released album "Love Letter."

Wonder if he performed all 30 parts of Trapped in the Closet.

This was R. Kelly's first UK tour in nine years and fans definitely seemed to enjoy it.
Over in Los Angeles, Lil Wayne was Performing at the Staples Center to a sold out crowd.

Interesting outfit for Lil Tunechi.  But I do love the fact he looks much healthier than he used to.

Of course, First Lady of YMCMB Nicki Minaj perfomed.

And she brought the antics.

And her sex toys.

I'm sure all the martians, barbies, and kens enjoyed the show.

The Teflon Don, Rick Ross, made a special appearance.

Over in New York City...

Diddy and the rest of the Diddy Dirty Money crew put on a big show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC for their "Coming Home" Tour.
