“Sexy love, all the things you do!” But who exactly is Ne-Yo singing this number to?

The singer is doubling down on his embrace of polyamory, and it looks like we might have another Cody Brown, from TLC, situation on our hands, though let's be real, Cody is now only sitting with one wife.

Better watch out, Ne-Yo!

Since his divorce in 2022, after ex-wife Crystal Renay accused him of infidelity, the 45-year-old singer has been spotted out and about with multiple partners.

Recently, he shook Meek Mill by kissing three different women in a backstage video.

Ne-Yo didn’t shy away from the critics either.

He shared a selfie on his Instagram story with the cheeky caption, “Them: ‘NEYO WE DON’T APPROVE OF YOUR POLY RELATIONSHIP!!’” The pic also showcased his T-shirt that reads, “Fun fact: I don’t care.”

In an interview from last November, Ne-Yo opened up about living in his “truth” for far too long.

“Society tells you that you're supposed to be with one person. You get married, and y’all are supposed to be together forever,” he said.

But he’s not knocking marriage or monogamy; he’s just saying it isn’t for him. As he puts it, “Everything's not for everybody.”

In another recent interview with “Rickey Smiley Morning Show”, he was asked how he juggles multiple relationships.

Ne-Yo said: “The key ingredient is honesty. I don’t ask for exclusivity, but if someone offers it, that’s the agreement.”

He admitted that being honest and open has saved him a lot of heartbreak and headaches.

Neyo’s love life has always been a bit messy.

Take, for instance, the situation with Monyetta Shaw in 2011. She underwent a sterilization procedure after deciding with her then-fiancé, Grammy-winning artist Ne-Yo, that their two children were enough.

However, two months before their wedding, he called it off and later started a new family with Crystal Renay.

Yeah, that happened.

Nick Cannon also embraces a similar lifestyle, as we know it. Cannon has expressed his belief in a non-monogamous lifestyle, stating that he values emotional connections and the ability to love more than one person at a time.

He has often defended his choices, emphasising that his relationships are consensual and based on mutual understanding.
