Ne-Yo Comes Out and Says He’s Gay
Posted on August 27, 2006 at 10:08 pm (PST)
On August 25, 2006 Hollywood Grind brought you pictures that showed someone who looked like Ne-Yo getting some oral action by a female who was identified as a Ne-Yo dancer. It is being reported now that Ne-Yo did an interview for Essance Magazine, and tells them he is, and always has been, Gay. I am hoping he will also comment on the pictures that surfaced to find out if he really means bi-sexual. For the ladies that thought those songs were talking about a girl, he says he was really talking about a guy. Read more:
The newly famed singer/songwriter has come out of the closet and announced that he is gay. 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 in fact gay, and I have always been.” After several internet rumors have been circulating around the internet. He also said, “You know this world we live in is full of judgement, resulting in one of the reasons why it took me so long to come out.” 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. 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.
