The or­gan­is­ers of Sat­ur­day’s R&B Brunch Fes­ti­val are ex­plor­ing their le­gal op­tions af­ter one of the head­lin­ers, Amer­i­can R&B singer Keyshia Cole, cut her per­for­mance at the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah, Port-of-Spain, short.

In a press re­lease yes­ter­day, SCORCH Ltd and co-pro­mot­ers, AIR Com­mit­tee and Ricky Raghu­nanan Group of Com­pa­nies, said they had reached out to the book­ing agent to ad­dress a breach of the per­for­mance terms, as Cole was con­trac­tu­al­ly sup­posed to per­form for 45 min­utes.

In a post to her In­sta­gram sto­ries, how­ev­er, Cole said she was on­ly paid to per­form three songs and will have to come back and do a “re­al show.”
