In the words of Destiny's Child "Drama sells records." Point blank. Jay-Z and "Fiesta Molesta" R. Kelly are two of the top album sellers in Rap and R&B. They are going to sell records regardless of the scandals. The fans that LOVE Jigga are going to go and buy it to support Jay-Z and the R. Kelly fans are going to go out and support Jay-Z. I don't think the timing was right to put the album out at the midst of a scandal (especially one as serious as this one.) But Def Jam/Rockafella and Jive felt differently. I don't see why they shouldn't go on tour....you never know, it might be just as successful as the HARD KNOCK LIFE tour but I doubt if the album is gonna flop....there are too many fans for that. They stuck with R. through that whole "Aaliyah" thing...so I doubt if it will hurt album sales.
