Good for him.

At the very least his music is!

Here is an article disputing that as a web rumor, as apparently fake as Barbra Stradoff (do I detect a Streisand fan behind this rumor?)

I don't have time to get into the poor grammar, construction and other errors that clearly show this to be a fake. At any rate, no self-respecting news outlet would release the following "story." Errors in bold.


Singer Ne-yo Announces He Is Gay
Essence Magazine August 23,2006

The newly famed singer/songwriter has came 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 gay, 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.

Barbra Stradoff,
Essence Magazine

Hey-Sexy Love is good you should check it out .

that shit is fake, i just read an article about him in Vibe about how much he likes to fuck girls...

Why is it that whenever somebody sells more that 10 CD's and has tons of women drooling over him , rumor has it that their gay? I mean yes, some singers are gay but c'mon ya'll! Not everybody in show buisiness is gay!

and you can tell by listening to his cd. 90% of it is about sex.

If he's gay, he's got a funny way of showing it.

I pray for the demise of hip-hop!

miguelbulcao said:

I feel you, I seriously do...

I was raised on Run DMC, LL Cool J, Salt N Pepper, New Jack swing of the 80's, early 90's... etc...but now when I hear the rap thats out nowadays...I cringe...literally...its all just bubble gum rap.

And NO DISRESPECT TO ANYONE THATS FROM ATLANTA..BUT IF I HEAR A-TOWN IN A SONG ONE MORE TIME...I'M GONNA SCREAM!!!!!

lonelygurl8305 said:

I'm not an hip-hop fan but I think early hip-hop was better and had a message!

Today, it's the personification of a big pile of shit!

Money ruined hip-hop!

miguelbulcao said:

What the heck does that have to do with Ne-Yo?

miguelbulcao said:
