Ne-Yo’s Ex Arrested For Helping Son Fight Another Child

September 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This week Grammy Award winning singer/ songwriter Ne-Yo and the mother of his two youngest sons, Instagram model Big Sade, were ordered into mediation over their child support battle. Now it has been revealed that Sade was arrested in March for cruelty to children for helping her fight a classmate at the bus stop. Witnesses and cameras allegedly saw Sade “kick and place the child in a chokehold before spraying him in the face with pepper spray.

Radar Online reports:

Ne-Yo’s ex-girlfriend Sade Bagnerise was taken into custody on charges of cruelty to children after she allegedly helped her son fight another child at the bus stop, RadarOnline.com has learned.

RadarOnline.com has obtained a petition for a temporary protective order filed by a woman named Veronica Madison against Sade.

In the petition, Veronica claimed Sade and Sade’s son, whom she does not share with Ne-Yo, “premeditated the act” of driving from their home to her neighborhood. She alleged they went to the bus stop, hid behind the bushes, and then attacked her son after he exited the school bus.

Veronica said eyewitnesses and camera footage captured Sade allegedly punching Veronica’s son as Sade’s child also fought him.

In the petition, she said witnesses saw Sade “kick and place my son in a chokehold prior to spraying him in the face with pepper spray. Eyewitnesses notified law enforcement at which point [Sade] and her son fled the scene.”

Veronica claimed that witnesses stayed on the scene and “gave account of what they saw to police.”

She said paramedics were called to treat her son for pepper spray in his “eyes, hair and on his body.’

Since the alleged incident, Veronica said Sade’s son has continued to make verbal threats via social media. She claims Sade’s child has sent messages and attempted video calls — and even allegedly threatened to “kill my son on video.”

“He’s also made threats to breach my home and inflict harm on my son, myself, my mother, repeatedly, with gunfire,” she alleged.

Veronica added, “This is the 3rd altercation with my son” and Sade’s child. “All three times [Sade’s son] has summoned my son to fight. The last two times he’s attacked him without warning. Once at school and once at the bus stop.”

The mother said her son does not have any interest in fighting with Sade’s son.

In her petition, filed in March 2023, Veronica stated, “[Sade] has been arrested and is currently being held at Fulton County Jail. Charges have also been pressed against the child. Bond conditions state no contact with my family. This [restraining order petition] is being filed to further enforce the ruling.”

Jail records obtained by RadarOnline.com show Sade was arrested on March 27 on charges of cruelty to children – 1st degree, cruelty to children – 3rd degree, and battery.

Sade was released on March 29 after posting a bond of $31k.

Ne-Yo’s Baby Mama Doesn’t Stand Behind His Anti-Transgender Children Comments

August 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The discourse that unfolded online surrounding Ne-Yo’s opinions on transgender children earlier in August proved that there are those who understand where the “So Sick” singer is coming from. His baby mama, Monyetta Shaw-Carter, however, is not one of them. The mother of two of Ne-Yo’s children spoke candidly with TMZ about her ex’s controversial comments recently, telling the outlet that his thoughts aren’t in alignment with the way she views the world or the LGBTQ+ community.

“Those views are HIS,” she declared, though Shaw-Carter still made it clear that she respects the recording artist’s right to have his own opinion. “I came from an era where a man was a man and a woman was a woman,” Ne-Yo stated in his initial viral interview. “It’s not my business, but it becomes my business when you try to make me play these games with you,” he added. While an apology did surface on his Twitter account shortly after, on IG, the multi-talent doubled down on his original perspective, making it clear that he refuses to be bullied into apologizing.

For her part, Monyetta would rather side with those who have experienced what it’s like to be transgender themselves. She did state that her and Ne-Yo’s co-parenting relationship has become a positive one, and that she isn’t in contact with her baby daddy’s other exes, Sade and Crystal, at this time. The “Miss Independent” hitmaker recently revealed that the way he keeps things civil amongst his blended family is to keep the bickering away from his kids.

Amid all the backlash he’s been facing for sharing his opinion on transgender children, Ne-Yo took a moment to reflect on the challenges that often come with raising seven children. According to the R&B icon, “It takes a village.” Read what else he had to say at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Ne-Yo Under Fire For Controversial Comments On Gender Identity

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ne-Yo has found himself in hot water after controversial remarks about parenting and gender identity. In a recent interview with Gloria Velez for Vlad TV, the Grammy-winning singer expressed his opinion on parents encouraging their children to identify as the opposite gender.

Ne-Yo Continues Trans Discourse With Another Statement: “I WILL NOT BE BULLIED INTO APOLOGIZING”

August 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After Ne-Yo’s comments about young children changing their gender identity during a VladTV interview went viral, the “So Sick” hitmaker has been feeling the heat. He initially doubled down on his statement that parents should think twice about giving their young ones so much freedom in that department, but later on Monday (August 7), a formal apology appeared on Ne-Yo’s Twitter account. In that, he promised to further educate himself on the LGBTQ+ community so that he could approach future conversations with more empathy. Some were happy enough with that response, but based on his latest IG post, it seems the R&B star may not have approved of the message that went out.

“Ok. This s**t is getting out of hand. FROM THE HORSE’S MOUTH. I WILL NOT BE BULLIED INTO APOLOGIZING FOR HAVING AN OPINION. AGREEING TO DISAGREE IS NOT A DECLARATION OF WAR,” the Arkansas native wrote under a black-and-white video posted to his feed a few hours ago. He went on to apologize to anyone hurt by his own imperfections and mistakes before making it clear that he’s not willing to compromise his integrity on the topic of transgender children. “My intention is never to offend anybody…but my opinion is MINE and I’m entitled to it,” Ne-Yo declared.

Ne-Yo Sets the Record Straight… Again

“I don’t care what y’all do with yours. That’s YOURS. This is how I FEEL. If one of my seven kids were to decide that [they] wanted to be something other than what they were born as, once they’re old enough and mature enough to make that decision… So be it. Not gonna love em’ any less,” the entertainer further explained. “Daddy is still Daddy and he loves you regardless. But this isn’t even a discussion until they are MENTALLY MATURE ENOUGH to have such a discussion.” At the end of his message, Yo reminded his followers that “LOVE IS THE ONLY TRUE POWER.”

Seeing as Ne-Yo is a father of seven, we can completely understand why he would want to have a say in his own children’s future. However, where critics online seem to take issue is with the singer’s condemnation of the way other people raise their little ones. See a recent photo of Yo and his family at the link below, and let us know if you think he owes upset internet users an apology or not in the comments.

Ne-Yo Formally Apologizes For Transgender Children Hot Take

August 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

On the internet, hearing hot takes isn’t at all uncommon, but when they come from a celebrity, a debate often ensues immediately after. The latest star to cause a stir with their words is Ne-Yo, who shared during an interview with VladTV that he’s not in support of underage people changing their gender. “I feel like parents have almost forgotten what the role of a parent is,” the “So Sick” singer said at the time. “If your little boy comes to you and says ‘Daddy I wanna be a girl,’ you just let him rock with that? When did it become a good idea to let a 12-year-old make a life-changing decision for themselves?”

When backlash for those comments came rolling in, Ne-Yo doubled down on his statements, making it clear that he isn’t anti-trans. Unfortunately, that response only brought in more turmoil, resulting in the R&B icon sharing another message with fans – this time via Twitter. “After much reflection, I’d like to express my deepest apologies to anyone that I may have hurt with my comments on parenting and gender identity,” he began. “I’ve always been an advocate for love and inclusivity in the LGBTQI+ community, so I understand how my comments could’ve been interpreted as insensitive.”

Ne-Yo Responds to Backlash to Hot Take on the LGBTQ+ Community

Ne-Yo then went on to admit that gender identity is “nuanced,” and he plans to “better educate [himself] on the topic, so [he] can approach future conversations with more empathy. The 43-year-old wrapped up by writing, “At the end of the day, I lead with love and support everyone’s freedom of expression and pursuit of happiness.”

He may not have been fully onboard with children making the decision to transition, but one thing Ne-Yo is progressive enough for is spending time with two women at once. Earlier this summer, he was with a duo of PYTs while casually enjoying some fun in the sun. See that video at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

[WATCH] Ne-Yo Spotted With Two Baes as He Strolls Through Miami

July 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ne-Yo has a new baby in his life but he also has two new women rolling with him. The Neighborhood Talk spotted Ne-Yo strolling through Miami with two ladies, hand in hand. Ne-Yo finalized his divorce from Crystal Renay in Feb.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Ne-Yo has been in the news lately when hew filed a motion demanding a DNA test for the second child fathered by his latest baby mama Sade Bagnerise. Apparently the DNA testing must have revealed it is Ne-yo’s baby because now Sade is making custodial demands.

Radar Online Reports:

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Sade and her lawyer showed up to court last week to respond to Ne-Yo’s lawsuit.

In her newly filed countersuit, Sade demanded primary physical custody of the 2 kids but agreed to share joint legal custody, which would allow Ne-Yo to have a say on important matters in their children’s lives.

Sade said Ne-Yo should be awarded every other weekend visitation along with alternating holiday parenting time. Further, she asked that the court award her temporary and permanent child support – along with reimbursement for a fair portion of any medical, educational, extracurricular, insurance, or other expenses related to the minor children that she incurs.

Sade did not address Ne-Yo’s demand for a DNA test on the youngest child but noted, “[Ne-Yo] is the biological father of the parties’ minor children.”

Ne-Yo Kicks A Fan Off Stage After Signature Hat Removal

July 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ne-Yo instantly regretted offering one fan the chance to come up on stage to dance with him. As soon as she was up there, the fan grabbed Ne-Yo’s hat off of his head, at which point he promptly booted her off the stage. The singer has been a notorious wearer of hats ever since middle school when his hairline began to recede at a rapid pace, according to the Meredith Vieira Show. So when this fan thought it was funny to grab his headpiece and begin acting like the R&B legend, he did not find it all that amusing.

“She knows good g*dd*mn well [that] she wasn’t supposed to grab my hat,” Ne-Yo said to the crowd after getting his hat back. “Get your ass back over there.” He then gave her a solid nudge toward the back of the stage before calling for contestant number two. The clip has gone viral because of his mixture of humor and frustration. You can tell that he isn’t a big fan of this fan’s actions, but he gets his hat back quickly and turns it into something funny. He even mocked a kick of her backside as she was headed off stage.

Ne-Yo’s Past, Present, & Future

Ne-Yo fans should definitely know not to snatch the man’s iconic hats. He’s been wearing them throughout his R&B music career. From “Miss Independent” to “So Sick” to “She Knows,” the artist has worn hats in all of his music videos and on stage for all his performances. As for if he wears the hat at home 24/7, we aren’t entirely sure. What is certain is Ne-Yo has been a busy man as of late.

The singer is dealing with a custody battle with his ex-girlfriend, Sade Bagnerise. (She will allow joint custody in exchange for child support.) And he is not back with his ex-wife, Crystal Renay, despite recent photos showing the couple together. In positive news, he just received a White House invite, according to AllHipHop.com. He will perform for the Bidens during their Fourth of July celebrations today.
