R. Kelly is set to face police questioning over his alleged involvement in a tour scam.

The singer has been accused of earning $130,000 from a tour in South Africa despite failing to perform, according to reports.

Local woman Busiswe Zakwe has been arrested for allegedly swindling thousands from investors by promising them they would benefit from ticket sales if they brought an R Kelly tour to the country in 2005.

Zakwe claims she deposited the money into Kelly's account, but he never appeared in the country.

Local police have confirmed that the bank account details Zakwe maintains to be Kelly's are infact genuine though it is yet unknown where the money went.

Police are now looking to question Kelly about the whereabouts of the cash.
