NEW YORK (AP) _ A member of rapper Jay Z's entourage maced R. Kelly during a joint concert at Madison Square Garden, Kelly's publicist said.
The spraying happened about an hour into Friday night's show, when Kelly walked on stage and said he saw two people in the audience waving guns, his publicist Allan Mayer said. Kelly abruptly stopped his set at about 9:30 p.m. while Garden security employees searched for weapons.
Finding none, guards told Kelly it was safe to continue performing, Mayer said. But as the singer was making his way back to the stage, a young man in Jay Z's entourage _ apparently miffed that Kelly interrupted the show _ sprayed him and two of his bodyguards in the face.
"I'm pretty sure Jay didn't realize what was going on," Mayer said in a phone interview.
