Ne-Yo Receives The Key To The City Of Las Vegas During Residency Show

by

Ne-Yo was born in Camden, Arkansas, but after relocating, he soon became a proud representative of Las Vegas, Nevada, a place he continues to call home. Moreover, he’s been rocking Sin City as of late with his Human Love Rebellion residency, a concert series that set the stage for a very special honor in his career. Moreover, the city’s Mayor Carolyn Goodman surprised the “2 Million Secrets” singer at his Wednesday show (August 7) and honored him with the Key to the City. Not only that, but Goodman also declared that Vegas will celebrate Ne-Yo Day on August 7 from this year onward.

“Yours has extra jewels [compared] to the one we gave Usher two months ago. You’re homegrown, my dear man … Congratulations!” the mayor told Ne-Yo two songs into his set. Goodman also remarked on his prowess, talent, and success as a musician, as well as his philanthropic efforts that have supported Las Vegas. While the 44-year-old still catches salacious headlines these days, such as dating rumors between his ex-wife and Maino, his music and art continues to speak louder than these elements… for better or worse.

Ne-Yo Honored By Las Vegas Mayor: Watch

“Thank you,” Ne-Yo emotionally told the crowd chanting his name as he accepted the Key to the City in a leopard print get-up. “I don’t want to get emotional, I’m trying to be fly. I can’t cry in this suit. Thank you to our lovely mayor, thank you to the city of Las Vegas, thank you all for being here.” This follows more concerning and divisive stories surrounding this legacy and career. He recently faced accusations from a former partner alleging assault and child neglect, though this hasn’t resulted in any sort of conclusion or verdict at press time.

But we know that Ne-Yo is in a very different, polygamous state right now when it comes to his love life. While there are still plenty of unanswered questions, these controversies exist within an otherwise beloved and continually successful trek as an artist. We’ll see what happens next, but for now, we can celebrate his artistry and acknowledge the great things he’s done for the city of Las Vegas. There will be a time, place, and due process for all the rest.

Instagram model Sade Bagnerise, known for being the mother of pop star Ne-Yo’s two youngest sons, has issued a public apology following a heated confrontation with the Grammy award winner. The incident unfolded earlier this week when Sade went live on Instagram from Ne-Yo’s bedroom, accusing him of neglecting their children and berating him for his alleged behavior.

During the live stream, Sade aired her grievances, accusing Ne-Yo of prioritizing his personal life over his responsibilities as a father. She claimed that Ne-Yo had failed to remove his “slew of women” from his home while their children were present and criticized him for allegedly neglecting to display photos of their sons around his residence.

However, in a surprising turn of events, Sade has now issued a public apology for her outburst, attributing her behavior to a combination of factors including the phases of the moon, her menstrual cycle, postpartum depression, and underlying issues in her co-parenting relationship with Ne-Yo.

In her explanation, Sade expressed remorse for her actions and acknowledged the impact of her behavior on both Ne-Yo and their children. She emphasized the importance of addressing underlying issues in their co-parenting dynamic and expressed a desire to move forward in a more constructive manner.

The apology comes after initial reports indicated that Sade had gloated about her actions, but her remorse and acknowledgment of responsibility after the fact suggest a willingness to take accountability for her behavior.

Ne-Yo’s Ex-Girlfriend Continues To Divulge On Their Fight

by

Sade Bagnerise, Ne-Yo’s ex-girlfriend and the mother of his two youngest children, isn’t done airing out her supposed grievances with him online. Moreover, she recently accused him of supposedly acting like “Diddy Junior” and even allegedly body-slamming her during an argument. These are all just accusations, and ones that Bagnerise even apologized for making so public recently. Still, as her latest IG Stories prove, these claims are far from over.

“To the other person,” Sade Bagnerise began concerning her accusations towards Ne-Yo. “I just KNOW you ain’t bring your playing deaf dumb and blind azz up on this internet and start LYRING thru your teeth like I can’t dispute your claims and drop the receipts.

“I’m move on before u drag me bk to the pits of hell,” Bagnerise went on with her Ne-Yo claims. “Like I said.. I want the best and will work towards making that possible. I sit up here and do the BEST I can do with ALL my kids. I’m not acting above or better than the next person for asking for the next person to do better with me. I will always push for anyone I care for to better. & I want to be pushed the same. For expressing concern just like ‘OTHERS’ are doing in private. I’m not the only person with these sentiments or concerns and you, me, them, they & Gawd allllll know the got damn truth. U know how GREAT I take care of the babies and how much over time I put in to overcompensate.

“Don’t you ever bring your mouth to act like it’s anything less or my story is something to be ashamed of,” her allegations concluded. “We all have one but who I am TODAY, and the LOVE I give and pour into my kids and the family is all I concern myself with. I’m human, I have my faults, I’ve made mistakes, I’ve learned, I’ve grown and I TRY MY BEST. The only thing I ask in return is for everyone to TRY THEIR BEST. All of us.” For more news and the latest updates on Ne-Yo, come back to HNHH.

Ne-Yo’s Ex-Girlfriend Explains Why She Accused Him Of Being “Diddy Junior”

by

Ne-Yo’s in some significant hot water right now thanks to as-of-yet unconfirmed claims from his ex-girlfriend and mother of his two youngest kids, Sade Bagnerise. Moreover, she livestreamed herself launching accusations at him on Wednesday (April 24) that he would allegedly have sex workers, various illegal drugs, and overall engage in wrongful behavior while their children were in the house that all this was going down at. Then, Bagnerise took to her Instagram Story the following day to explain why she did what she did. Also, she clapped back at folks criticizing her choice to make these allegations and invoked her concern for her little ones.

“All this because I just want the best for the ones who need the love and affection the most,” Sade Bagnerise claimed concerning the backlash to her claims against Ne-Yo. “False narratives and empty promises. I’ll be the villain. If that means standing up for the ONLY thing that matters. I don’t feel bad about shi. I wasn’t antagonizing, I WAS PRESSING THE LINE. 4 all the RIGHT reasons.

Ne-Yo Accused Of Having “Freak-Offs” By Ex-Girlfriend, Gets Compared To Diddy

by

Ne-Yo is facing some heavy allegations right now, with his ex-girlfriend Sade Bagnerise claiming that he’s had “freak-offs” with drugs and sex workers while his children were at his house. For those unaware, she is the mother of his two youngest children, and she recorded and livestreamed herself launching these accusations at him on Wednesday (April 24) while he tried to use his video game console, plus while their kids were seemingly sleeping behind them. Bagnerise called the singer “Diddy Junior” and said that he will face similar public scrutiny due to these alleged actions. Also, she claimed that he body-slammed her and that he allegedly called the police after Bagnerise refused to leave their house due to her concern for their children.

Furthermore, it’s important to note that all of this is speculative and alleged behavior, none of which has been confirmed or is backed up by facts or a legal process at press time. So are the Diddy allegations, for that matter. As such, take this Ne-Yo news with a grain of salt. “He wants h*es over the house while his kids is here,” Bagnerise claimed. “This n***a like to have h*es, drugs and weed, alcohol, mushrooms, and [sex workers] in the house while his kids are here. Everyone has asked him to stop but he will not listen to nobody.”

Sade Bagnerise’s Accusations Against Ne-Yo: Watch

Ne-Yo has seven kids, the youngest of which (Braiden and Brixton) he shares with Sade Bagnerise legally. However, given his current relationship status, it looks like expanded fatherhood might not be in the cards for him. For example, the R&B star recently opened up about his current polyamorous relationship, and whether he thinks he’s going to take it to deeper levels. From what was said, it looks like it will remain quite casual.

With all this in mind, we’ll see whether these allegations result in any action or response moving forward. Elsewhere, what do you think about the reaction to this polyamorous switch-up? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments section down below. Also, come back to HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Ne-Yo.

Ne-Yo Opens Up About His Two Girlfriends & Polyamory

by

Ne-Yo sparked a lot of conversation up and down the gossip train when he let the world know that he’s in a polyamorous relationship with two girlfriends. Overall, the sentiment seems to be that, while you may agree or disagree with whether or not you’d be in one, they still have every right to develop whatever bond they please as long as it’s respectful, has boundaries, and equitable. On that note, TMZ recently spoke to the R&B singer on Thursday (April 18) at The Grove in Los Angeles, where they ran into him taking a walk with his two female parters holding his hands. They all spoke a little bit about this polyamorous relationship and what his thoughts on polygamy are, which is marriage to multiple spouses at the same time.

Furthermore, Ne-Yo expressed his support for the legal union of multiple partners, but since he doesn’t know if he wants to do so, he won’t advocate for laws to change and reflect this just yet. Still, this seemed to be a factor in his split with Crystal Renay, something that allegedly happened because of his infidelity. Those are just unconfirmed rumors at press time, but clearly something happened along the way that made them go their separate ways. Considering this history, we’ll have to see how this polyamorous relationship works out in the long run.

However, we know that Ne-Yo has at least some public support for this bond if he’s ever feeling unseen or ostracized by pop culture. One of these supporters is The Game, who had some lewd but cheeky comments about it on Instagram under a post covering this relationship. “They both look like they say ‘spit in my mouth,’” the rapper shared in the comments section of said post. “I’m here for it [crying face emoji].”

Meanwhile, what do you think about this relationship? What about recent rumors that Renay is already moving onto another man, and how her ex might respond?

Ne-Yo Goes Viral For His Dance Moves In “Knock You Down” Music Video

by

Ne-Yo may be more well-known for his relationship troubles when it comes to headlines these days, but don’t sleep on his music because of it. He built up a pretty long-lasting legacy within R&B and pop, and remains one of these genres’ most popular figures. Moreover, fans are looking back at the now-iconic music video for “Knock You Down” and realizing that the singer deserves more credit than they gave him when it dropped in 2009. The track, from Keri Hilson and also featuring Kanye West, is quite the fun banger, but that’s not what people are focusing on here.

Instead, fans can’t believe that Ne-Yo moves his hands so fast in one point of the video, then raising one up to flex it. It sounds pretty bizarre for people to harp on this, but it resulted in some pretty funny commentary about it on social media. For example, some compared it to other moves by artists like Tyrese, and also made jokes about him being like Floyd Mayweather with his punches. Overall, it’s just another instance of people making old hits find new life in the social media age to pretty comical results.

Ne-Yo Stirs The Social Media Pot With His Old Dance Moves

What’s more is that this arm-spinning is actually kind of a common thing within R&B and rap, especially during this time. One fan pointed out that Ne-Yo’s moves are similar to that of MCs like Kevin Gates, who surely spun arms around in similar fashion to pay homage. Of course, that’s not to say that there’s a sole entertainer who holds the copyright to these moves, which might have other origins beyond music. Still, it’s kind of astonishing to see just how many people remember this and feel so strongly about the moves.

Meanwhile, the Arkansas native is focusing more on his live performances these days rather than putting out a lot of new material. He’s clearly having fun, as a wild clip emerged of a fan twerking on him during a recent concert. We’ll see if these shows bring back some arm-spinning choreography, or if the R&B star realizes how much people admire it. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Ne-Yo.

Ne-Yo Legally Becomes Father Of His Girlfriend’s Youngest Children

by

Ne-Yo moves through relationships quite fast, and we’re not talking about jumping from one to another. Moreover, he recently achieved his goals in court and became the legal father of his ex-girlfriend’s (or current girlfriend? It’s unclear) young children, Braiden (born in 2021) and Brixton (born in February). Sade Bagnerise’s kids will also have their last name changed from Bagnerise to Smith, which is the R&B singer’s legal surname. This information comes from court documents allegedly obtained by TMZ, and some time after he originally made this request in court. Given their murky relationship status, it’s unknown whether this confirms that they’re still together or if it’s more of a co-parenting situation.

Regardless, a judge believed that it would be in Braiden and Brixton’s best interest to be considered Ne-Yo’s legal and biological children. Considering that the court deliberated this and first received a motion in May, this was a long time coming. In addition, he sought to make them able to inherit things from him as if they were born within wedlock with Sade Bagnerise. It’s quite a big move, all things considered, and one that might just bring these two closer together.

Previously, though, we know that Bagnerise’s older kids were going through it with some bad bullying, which she had to step in for in order to get their comeuppance. While responding to claims that she helped her son fight a classmate, Ne-Yo’s former partner stood by her support of her kid. Whether you agree with her actions or not, it’s clear that it’s a tough judgement call to make. After all, unless you’re already a parent, it’s hard to think about what one would do in that situation until you’re presented with it.

“I will always protect anybody I love especially my KIDS,” Sade wrote on Instagram. “I will never understand bullying someone and then playing victim when they stand up for themselves.” Maybe this new legal win will better prepare the Arkansas native to stand up for his kids.

Ne-Yo Keeps Trolling Critics Of His Trans Children Comments, Doesn’t Care

by

If you’ve caught up with pop culture gossip news in the past few days, you likely know that Ne-Yo’s sitting in a pool of hot water right now. Moreover, he recently made some comments criticizing transgender people, in particular parents who allow their children to transition at an early age. While the singer said that he “loves everyone,” his comments didn’t sit well with many people who understandably interpreted them as transphobic. However, he doubled down on them via an Instagram statement and video soon after, and now added another one to that affirmation. In it, the Arkansas-born artist walks around the house and lets an anti-hater audio clip play.

“Look at me,” the audio clip in Ne-Yo’s new video began. “What about me would make you think that I care about about your opinion of me? Your opinion of me is not the opinion that I have of myself. You ain’t make me, so you can’t break me. You didn’t build me, so you can’t kill me. Uh, you know what? God established me, so ain’t nothing you can do to me. I’ve been him!” “In case anybody was curious…” the R&B star wrote as the post’s caption.

Furthermore, his emphasized stance on these matters came after his publicist apparently posted an apology to his page, which he then backtracked immediately with another post. “Ok. This s**t is getting out of hand,” Ne-Yo expressed on IG. “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.”

“My intention is never to offend anybody…but my opinion is MINE and I’m entitled to it,” he continued. “I don’t care what y’all do with yours. That’s YOURS. This is how I FEEL. If one of my 7 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. Daddy is still Daddy and he loves you regardless.” Let us know what you think of the 43-year-old’s views down below.

Radar Online reports:

Ne-Yo has asked a judge to order a DNA test to be done to establish that he’s the father of 2 minor children with his one-time girlfriend Sade Bagnerise, RadarOnline.com has learned.

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Ne-Yo [real name: Shaffer Smith] filed a petition for paternity and to establish child support.

In his filing, Ne-Yo said believes that he is the biological father of Braiden Bagnerise (born in 2021) and Brixton Smith (born in February 2023). However, he asked that a DNA blood analysis test be conducted to confirm the paternity of the minor child, Brixton.

Ne-Yo said it is in the best interest of the child that the parties share “joint physical custody of the minor children.” The singer said he desires a “liberal parenting time schedule” with the kids.

Further, he asked that the court award him joint legal custody of the kids to allow him to have input on school and healthcare.

Ne-Yo said he has supported the kids financially and exercised parenting time with the kids on a consistent basis. He wants the court to determine the child support amounts he will pay.

Further, he wants Braiden’s last name changed to Smith. Sade has yet to respond to the petition.
