Jay-Z and Kelly axe gigs

Music stars Jay-Z and R Kelly have fuelled reports they've fallen out on tour - by cancelling a further two dates.

Last week it was alleged the pair are refusing to communicate because Jay-Z is disgusted by the child pornography charges levelled against Ignition star Kelly.

And following an axed gig in Cincinnati, Ohio, earlier this month, the stars pulled their 'Best of both worlds' show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Sunday and in Hartford, Connecticut, last night.

However, a spokesman for the urban acts has rubbished speculation the pair are at war, blaming the cancellations on "technical problems".

One source claims: "Jay-Z destroyed R Kelly onstage" on the first night of the tour, after Kelly horrified the Chicago audience by mocking his felony charges and dressing as an inmate to simulate sex with two women in a cage onstage. The video of the gig may be used by prosecutors in the child pornography case.
