American R&B superstar Ne-Yo has dropped a bombshell on his South African fans, revealing in a candid interview that he is a “polygamist at heart” and believes in the concept of loving more than one person at a time. The singer, who is in the country for a series of performances, made the surprising confession during a sit-down with a local radio station, and his comments have sent social media into a frenzy.
Ne-Yo, who is currently in a relationship with two women, explained that he has always been open and honest about his views on monogamy. “I’m a polygamist at heart,” he declared. “I believe that you can love more than one person at the same time.” He went on to say that his current lifestyle works for him and his partners, and that they are all happy and committed to each other.
The singer’s candid comments have been met with a mixed reaction from fans. Some have praised him for his honesty and for challenging traditional notions of love and relationships. Others, however, have been more critical, with some accusing him of being selfish and disrespectful to his partners. The debate has been raging on social media, with the hashtag #NeYoPolygamy trending for hours.
Ne-Yo’s confession is particularly interesting in light of his recent and very public divorce from his ex-wife, Crystal Renay. The couple’s split was messy, with Renay accusing the singer of infidelity and fathering a child with another woman. Now, with his new revelations about his polyamorous lifestyle, fans are looking at his past relationship in a whole new light. Whether you agree with him or not, one thing is for sure: Ne-Yo is not afraid to speak his mind and live his life on his own terms.
Regarding whether the women can see other men, Ne-Yo promptly responded with a shake of his head: "No. Here’s the thing. I haven’t made any demands for exclusivity from these women. I’ve never stated, 'If it’s not me, it’s nothing.' "I didn’t ask them to be with me; they chose to be with me and gave me their exclusivity, meaning if you’ve given it to me, it belongs to me. "I prefer partnership over ownership. I don’t wish to own or control you—I want a partner in this, and we can find a way to navigate it together. However, if the exclusivity is mine, then it’s mine; you’re not sharing it with anyone else."
