Mary J. Blige has claimed she was included on the line-up for the Lovers & Friends festival in "error".
The No More Drama singer took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday to insist that she will not be performing at the Las Vegas festival - despite her inclusion on the line-up poster.
"I am beyond humbled by the response from all of you about the announcement of me on Lovers & Friends Festival," she wrote. "Unfortunately my inclusion was an error as I will be busy in preparation for my Strength of a Woman Summit just one week later! I have the greatest fans in the world and can't wait to see you in New York in a few short months!"
Despite her message, her name remains on the poster for the R&B and hip-hop festival. Organisers later posted footage of the singer performing at the Super Bowl and wrote, "THE QUEEN OF R&B HERSELF, MARY J BLIGE! we can't wait to see her perform in vegas @therealmaryjblige."
When fans expressed confusion about the mixed messages, the organisers insisted she is still on the line-up.
"Yes she will be here! She took down the post. See you in Vegas," they wrote in a comment.
Lovers & Friends takes place at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on 4 May. The star-studded line-up also includes Janet Jackson, Usher, Backstreet Boys, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Ciara, Nelly and more.
Blige's Strength of a Woman festival and summit, named after her 2017 song and album, aims to empower women around the world to reach their highest potential. It takes place over America's Mother's Day weekend on 11 and 12 May.
She has not addressed the confusion.
