'I Do Not Apologize': Ne-Yo Retracts Earlier Statement About Gender CommentsLeah Barkoukis
August 08, 2023
R&B singer Ne-Yo is retracting an apology posted to his social media accounts over his comments about transgender children, suggesting an earlier statement was written by a publicist.
“I normally don’t give too much of a damn about what y’all think about what I do, what you all have to say about what I say, whatever … however this is something I feel very strongly on and I need y’all to hear it from the horse’s mouth and not the publicist’s computer,” he said.
“First and foremost, I do not apologize for having an opinion on this matter. I am a 43- year-old heterosexual man raising five boys and two girls — that’s my reality,” he continued.
“Now, if my opinion offended somebody, yeah sure, I apologize for you being offended because that wasn’t my intention. My intention is never to offend anybody. However, I am entitled to feel how I feel — I am absolutely entitled to feel how I feel, the same way you’re entitled to feel how you feel.”
