Ne-Yo says that his polyamorous lifestyle cost him several business deals.
Appearing on the “Sorry We’re Cyrus” podcast, Ne-Yo explained how he lost out on opportunities.
“The world is mad at the fact that I’m in a polyamorous relationship. There are people upset,” Ne-Yo told host Tish Cyrus and Brandi Cyrus. “There’s deals that I missed out on because they’re like, ‘We don’t know if we can get behind the whole polyamorous [thing].”
“It’s almost like you can be a great person. You can show respect and appreciation, but the second you do something that they don’t agree with…canceled, you know what I mean? And that just doesn’t make any sense to me,” he said.
NE-YO PRAISES HIS WOMEN ON MOTHER’S DAY
Taking to Instagram on Mother’s Day, Ne-Yo expressed his love for his women.
“I GET IT NOW. Most can only dream of a love like this,” Ne-Yo wrote on Instagram. “Most can only imagine what it feels like to wake up smiling every morning, walking into whatever the day may bring, loving life, knowing your team is strong and the love is real. To most, it can only be a fantasy. BUT IT’S OUR REALITY.”
“The good has absolutely outweighed the bad in every way. We are not yet what we ultimately need to be; we are ALL works in progress,” he continued. “But I will match your effort, I will lead with love, and WE will continue to make life lovely for each other. Let me say what they want to. We happy over here. And we will continue to be so. I LOVE Y’ALL WITH MYEVERYTHING!!”
Along with his polyamorous relationships, Ne-Yo recently released his country-inspired song, ”Up, Out, and Gone.” He spoke about how he has been received on the Nashville scene.
“It came with all these warnings,” Ne-Yo explained. “And all this fear that people were trying to put on me. ‘They’re not really accepting of anything outside of what they do over there. It’s cliquey, and if you don’t know this person or haven’t done this…’ I hate to admit it, but I came out here kind of expecting something like that.”
