Charlie Wilson Has Beef with Frankie Beverly

Alyssa Rashbaum

Charlie Wilson was scheduled to open for R&B's Frankie Beverly and Maze, but according to Wilson's manager, when Beverly found out Wilson was taking the stage before him, he called the promoter of the show and threatened not to perform unless Wilson was taken off the bill or "replaced with a less intimidating performer."

Wilson was slated to open for Beverly on November 25 and 26 in at Washington, D.C.'s Constitution Hall. He will not be performing either night.

"It is obvious that the last thing Frankie Beverly wanted to do," said Wilson's manager, "was work harder than he has to after Charlie Wilson has gotten done burning rubber and dropping bombs on the crowd with [his] electrifying show."
