AceShowbiz - Ne-Yo just tried to get things off his chest, but his action unfortunately backfired. The "Miss Independent" crooner was trolled even more after he slammed haters for commenting on his personal life.
"I just need the whole world to understand this," the 43-year-old kicked off his message on Instagram Story. "Your opinions of me and my personal life don't mean ANYTHING to me. My kids love me, my women love me. My future is bright as f**k!! I don't even have time to concern myself with what y'all think. I feel like the father in 'The Nutty Professor'. 'You really think I be listening to you. ION BE LISTENING TO YOU!!' "
"I might come from the Omarion school of unbotheredness," Ne-Yo continued. "I hope everybody that needs to see this sees it. Cause I've already wasted too much time trying to let y'all know. Feel how you wanna feel about me. Imma still sleep comfortable as hell tonight and every night following. Meanwhile you mad cause I'm living….. Tf!?? How's that working out for you…?"
Ne-Yo went on to note, "Ok. Back to regularly scheduled program. Healthy, smart, and beautiful kids, limitless bank account, beautiful baby mama's (Front [if] you want to. They all bad.)" He added, "And lady friends that love my dirty drawls. ‘Life is good…' (Future voice)."
Some online users weighed in on the post, with one writing, "That's a lot of words for someone who doesn't care.." Another penned, "Unbothered.. and ranting.. I guess it's upside down day.." A third chimed in, "This rant didn't eat like he thought it would."
Ne-Yo's post arrived a few months after he finalized his divorce from Crystal Smith a.k.a. Crystal Renay Williams. When filing for divorce in August 2022, Crystal accused him of infidelity.
Crystal claimed that he fathered a child with Sade during their marriage. In September, it was revealed that Sade got pregnant with their second child together. She announced in March that she had given birth to her son Brixton.
