announcement detailing exactly who will be joining Jay for the remaining 16 dates, however, P. Diddy and Mary J. Blige have been announced for Friday's show at Miami's American Airlines Arena (see "Jay-Z And Friends Take On Another Best Of Both Worlds Date").

Although their second collaborative album, will debut at the top of the Billboard albums chart next week, Jay and R. Kelly have a had a very public and ugly falling out since they performed their last full concert together on Thursday night at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum.

Kelly left the tour after Friday's show at Madison Square Garden, where he did not finish the show after claiming he'd seen men in the audience waving guns at him, and later was allegedly maced by one of Jay's people (see "Jay-Z, R. Kelly Part Ways as Best Of Both Worlds Tour Collapses"). Several members of the hip-hop community, including Diddy, Mary, Usher, Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dogg, rallied around Hov, helping him to finish the show at the Garden and the remaining three dates he had scheduled in the New York/ New Jersey area.

Kelly has since filed a $75 million lawsuit against Jay and his business associates for loss of income and punitive damages (see "R. Kelly Sues Jay-Z For $75 Million, Claims Sabotage").
