Ne-Yo’s comments sparked swift backlash, and before the weekend ended, he apologized for his “insensitive and offensive” remarks.
“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 shared. “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 and offensive.”
During the interview, Ne-Yo expressed a disconnect between his understanding of gender identity, stating: “I just personally come from an era where a man was a man and a woman was a woman. And there was two genders, and that’s just how I rocked. You could identify as a goldfish if you feel like, I don’t care. That ain’t my business. It becomes my business when you try to make me play the game with you. I’m not gonna call you a goldfish. But if you wanna be a goldfish, you go be a goldfish.
To further support his opinion, the musician — who is a father of seven — created an example scenario using a 5-year-old who identifies as a girl. “I feel like parents have almost forgotten what the role of a parent is,” he said. “If your little boy comes to you and says, ‘Daddy, I want to be a girl.
Ne-Yo’s initial response was to double down and defend his right to have an opinion, writing in the comments of an Instagram Post to clarify: “I’m not asking anybody to agree with me nor am I telling you what you can and cannot do with your children. I stated my opinion on a matter and that’s that. Why should I care if my opinion upsets you when you don’t care if yours upsets anyone?”
