The newly famed singer/songwriter has came out of the closet and announced that he is ***. The multi-platinum recording artist sat down for the October issue of Essence Magazine last week and announced the shocking news stating, 'Yes, I am ***, and I have always been.' After several internet rumors have been circulating around the internet. He also said, 'You now this world we live in is full of judgement, resulting in one of the reasons why it took me so long to come out of the closet.' Earlier this month, a man by the name of Derrick Johnson claimed that he had an intimate relationship with the singer during there teen years in high school. He also said that for months the singer and Def Jam has been trying to pay him to keep quiet over the ordeal. Worrying that it would destroy his image. Ne-yo responds saying, that the relationship did occur and he is no longer ashamed of saying that he was deeply in love. Reciting 'That situation was what inspired me to write the song Unfaithful. But no one knew it was actually about myself, and our relationship.' He told Essence that he doesn't care anymore, he was tired of living a lie and is ready to come clean. Quoting, 'the music industry can either except me for who I am, or desert me.' The full interview with the magazine is expected to hit stands mid-October.

SexyBiFemGirl Flag post Why poor Neyo? I think its good he is repping who he really is. Alot of people dont and likt to be in denial and pretend to hate *** when they themselves are in fact *** *** ***.
UUUMMM THAT'S CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK ! YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE *** OR STAIGHT. MOST PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE IN THAT BI-*** ! CERTAINLY NOT FOR A MAN, BUT I GUESS IT'S COOL FOR WOMAN TO SAY THAT.
Media takeout needs to check their archives. They've run this story before, then run the story where they say it's actually not true (the link above) and now years later and running the same story just with new dates. smh! I signed up just to put this out there. sites like this are stupid and based solely on rumor. I hope he sues these azzholes.
You Wouldnt Be Racist So Why Be ***? Tbh I Think Ne Yo Did Good Admitting It. Atleast He Aint Afraid To Show His Sexuality And Live In A Lie. Its Proven People Are Born *** And They Dont Turn ***. If You Saw Someone On Street With No Arms You Might Stare But They Might Have Been Born That Way. Just Like Ne Yo Was Born ***. Evon If He Aint I Think People Who Are *** *** Bi Sexual Whatever Should Just Tell People. There No Different.
@ REV
Even if Denzel is what you say he is...I'm glad he's keeping it in the closet. This whole "movement," is out of control and really makes no logical sense.
Nobody cares if NEEYO is a q---. Keep it to yourself...and seek therapy.
Before the 1980's *** was a pysochological disorder!!
Say what you want about *** "rights," but it's not normal behavior and nobody needs to know what goes down in your bedroom.
