This just in: Ne-Yo is not a homosexual. We repeat: Ne-Yo is not a homosexual.
The R&B crooner recently appeared on Madame Noire’s Spin And Spill The Tea series, where he took time to answer a few questions about his music, his love life, and, oh yeah, his sexuality.
When asked, “What’s that rumor that exists about you that you wish would die?” Ne-Yo said that he, while he 100% supports the LGBTQ community, he’s not gay. He’s just not. OK? He never was. He never will be. And he has no idea where that rumor even came from.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Taking nothing from homosexuality, love wins, love who you love,” he said. “I’m just not gay.”
The 38-year-old father of four continued, “I ain’t never been gay, and when the whole gay rumor thing happened, that was one of the ones that kind of threw me a little bit.”
“Anybody that knows me knows that nothing could be farther from the truth.”
Ne-Yo, who has released six studio albums and fifteen singles, concluded by saying: “But again, love wins, love who you love, have no issue with it, it’s just not my personal forte.”
We think we speak for everyone when we say it is such a relief to have this issue settled once and for all.
Watch.

No body has been stunting Ne-Yo and that milk dud dome for almost a decade.

Oh..ok then. Who was asking btw? I guess some don’t feel relevant unless they’ve been accused of being gay.

I’m 100% gay (though I’ve had sex with 5 women/girls in the past — just because it was there so why not. But when I decided to experience my gayness, the first thing I did was determine I was going to try both oral and anal because I always thought it was ridiculous for guys to think they were any less gay because they didn’t bottom. But it still pisses me off when someone (straight or gay) insists on believing they know what I HAVE to into because they have gay friends who are into that particular thing: a 12 incher with a mushroom head and popping veins, prison rape, or drag, which I’ve work in as a male dancer and admired, but have never had any interest in doing myself. I have no trouble understanding why a straight guy would find it annoying to have people insisting he’s gay when he isn’t.

Because we live in a homophobic society, that’s why. You’re 80 years old, so you know this. I mean, come on, crowebobby!

There have been rumors about him and they keep swirling, including a rumor just a few years ago that Caitlin Jenner helped him come out as gay, but I like how he answered this. He affirmed gay people and the gay community. Repeatedly. But he also stated he isn’t gay. Fair enough.
Donston
That Jenner story honestly sounds ridiculous.
No matter what Ne-Yo’s sexual behaviors, sexual instincts, attractions, romantic passions, etc. may reflect, it’s obvious that he’s not interested in being with a dude. So, I don’t care. Most people fit somewhere within a spectrum, and this is the entertainment industry we’re talking about. So, maybe he’s had some experience beyond the opposite cis gender. But when it comes to these celebs I stopped caring a long time ago about who may be what.
What disappoints me are individuals who have long-term relationships that they try to keep undercover so they don’t have to be branded as “gay” or individuals who refuse to have any real relationships just so they don’t get exposed or catch feelings or because of internalized homophobia. That’s genuine manipulation and has to be detrimental to the individual from psychological standpoint.

Who cares about Ne-yo. I wonder if it’s true about Usher?

Who cares. Just use protection when you sleep with dudes on the DL.
