Ne-Yo is happening tour… the apology tour.
The Because of You singer took to X (Twitter) Sunday night to stroll again some feedback he made in regards to the LGBTQIA+ group in a current VladTV interview. If you haven’t watched, throughout the chat, which was posted to YouTube Saturday, the 43-year-old spoke about gender and trans identities, and, nicely, it sounded lower than supportive:
“I have no problem with nobody. Love who you love, do what you do, I just personally come from an era where a man was a man and a woman was a woman and it wasn’t but two genders, and that’s just how I rock.”

He continued:
“You could identify as a goldfish if you feel like it, I don’t care. That ain’t my business. It becomes my business when you try to make me play the game with you. I’m not gonna call you a goldfish. But if you wanna be a goldfish, you go be a goldfish. We live in a weird time.”
“Play the game”?? Yeah, there ya go. He’s not saying “live your life” he’s saying “live your LIE” however he’s not going to play alongside. Sigh. Also, why is it at all times the childish comparisons to animals?
He later doubled down, digging at mother and father who, you already know, take heed to their children and attempt to accommodate their wants:
“Parents have almost forgotten what the role of a parent is. It’s like, okay, if your little boy comes to you and says, ‘Daddy, I want to be a girl,’ and you just let him rock with that? He’s 5? If you let this 5-year-old boy decide to eat candy all day he’s gonna do that. When did it become a good idea to let a 5-year-old, let a 6-year-old, let a 12-year-old make a life-changing decision for themself? When did that happen? I don’t understand.”
Obviously there’s a number of grey space within the time when children are determining who they’re. But that’s for the youngsters and their mother and father to speak by way of. It’s an advanced subject, and it’s distinctive to every particular person.

The motive it appears so simplistic in his thoughts, like a child simply saying one thing someday and that being the top of it? It’s as a result of Ne-Yo is it from the surface, from a perspective far faraway from any of this. In different phrases… like many of the of us spouting off about it, he has no concept what he’s speaking about.
Watch Ne-Yo do not know what he’s speaking about — when you can stand it (under):
Have you ever observed how rather more sure folks appear the much less they find out about a topic?
Anyway, simply someday later, the daddy of seven apologized for his “insensitive” feedback, writing on X (Twitter):
“After much reflection, I’d like to express my deepest apologies to anyone that I may have hurt with my comments on parenting and gender identity. I’ve always been an advocate for love and inclusivity in the LGBTQI+ community, so I understand how my comments could’ve been interpreted as insensitive and offensive. Gender identity is nuanced and I can honestly admit that I plan to better educate myself on the topic, so I can approach future conversations with more empathy. At the end of the day, I lead with love and support everyone’s freedom of expression and pursuit of happiness.”
