Ne-Yo Gay Rumors are False

ne-yo-gay.jpg

VC has confirmed that the rumors of Ne-Yo coming out in the October issue of Essence are not true. The poorly written, error-laden press release tipped us off, but we got the 411 directly from the Essence PR department that the release is about as real as a four dollar bill.

"Barbra Stradoff" does not work for the magazine, and the closest Ne-Yo will be getting to the October issue will be when he sees it on the newsstands.

Chris says:

lol this topic never seems to stop. First of all, Ne-Yo isnt gay, he has had a kid. But, he isnt str8, hes bi! The only times hes ever been questioned, hes been asked if hes GAY-not bi. Look how he does his eyebrows-it makes him look gay, an he knows it, thats why hes always wearing head coverings. If you check his body language, def some feminine in there. I profile people for a living, and i can tell you, this dude is bi.

53.

Sean Douglas says:

I have heard the rumours about Nee-Yo being gay for a while and then stumbled upon this article...and had the humorous and sad misfortune of reading some of the ridiculous comments being posted about the rumours.

There is so much to say but first of all, I find it incredulous in this day and age that people, and in particular, the black community, have such a backward and ignorant attitude towards homosexuality. I am black, gay (proud to nonchalant in the main), male and from the UK and the same issues exist within the black community but it seems much worst in the US.

I think the black community (straight) needs to understand, not necessarily condone, but understand that homosexuality does exist regardless of religious belief and is prevalent amongst all races INCLUDING black.

I am aware of the concept of 'downlow' and whilst it is not exclusive to the black community, I feel that ignorance and intolerance has created the situation where gay black men feel forced by their own community and society to maintain a facade of heterosexuality which involves suppressing their sexuality at best and often leads to promiscuity, mental and emotional anguish, deceit, disruption of numerous lives and the spread of HIV, AIDS and other STD'S at worst.

I have been in the very fortunate position of being able to come out as gay to my parents, sister, wider family and friends, being accepted and having better and more honest relationships/friendships with all (and most importantly myself) concerned. I know that I am more settled as a result and do not engage in the risky behaviors and act on the impulses that I once did, mainly because my sexuality was repressed.

It is difficult to conclude because there is a lot more I could say and argue to the hilt but finally, it would not surprise me if Nee-Yo was gay but then again he could be straight - who cares? As long as he is happy, content and living a life that suits him and doesn't intentionally hurt others then thats all that matters.

However, if all of the UK's and US's black celebrities who are actually gay or lesbian were to come out/be outed, I think the black community and society at large would be shocked beyond belief to find out that some of the supposedly straight sex symbols/role models/family men and women etc are attracted to the same sex. This may then lead them to question the concept, reality and stereotypes of homosexuality and how it may apply to themselves and their friends, relatives.

Food for thought - I took my straight black friends to a gay bar in Central London that was extremely popular with out/discreet/closeted black and minority ethnic men and one friend in particular was surprised to identify a number of men at the bar from his neighbourhood or college, who did not remotely 'look or sound' gay and were considered 'street'.
This was somebody's son, cousin, grandson, friend, colleague or perhaps boyfriend, husband or father and the chances are that judging the black community's attitude to sexual orientation, it affects many more of us out there than we are aware of or would care to realise.

I don't care if you are or not, just keep making good music, by the way Let Me Get This Right is a great song.

Desmond says:

I think it doesnt matter if hes gay or not as long as its not effected any one else.... thats whats wrong with society today... there to busy worrying about the next person instead of worrying about there one business and half of the ones that have a problem with it there gay them self ...just undercover with it....

at what point is ebonics, ebonics says:

At what point does it turn into horrible, useless words that make no sense. I mean i understand slang and shit, but reading some of these posts make my head want to explode. I don't understand. It's one thing to make typos but reading these responses and many other topics on "black" subjects gives me the impression the majority of these people are just young idiots. I am not racsist, in fact I am a minority and I love seeing other.... im tired of typing, basically GET EDUCATED PLEASE. Maybe I am wrong here, and it is not the majority, but if you access to a computer you should have access to some sort of education. Keep ebonics alive! I know its a langauge, but get educated as well. Make your people proud. I love seeing a educated person of african descent doing well even in teh music indusrty, but it seems as though the majority or being told what to do by the man. If you want to stick it to him, be better then him. I am not spreading hate, don't hate him, but dont be oppressed, make a difference. or disregard this post, it is not meant to stir any negativity. peace

im mot sayin that ne-yo gay or not. all im trying to say is that ne-yo is a good person in he has a nice body. for all the other people you need to stop haiting on him. i think that you are mad because you don't have a body like (now the pic that is up need to go) him and he is making more money then you.

ne-yo all you need to do is keep your head up an never give up, and stay sexy. just do your thing. there are to many people looking up to. dont have some rumors that someone made keep you down.im not going to say that im your number one fan b/c your a lot of them. all i have to say is keep it real. dont change b/c i love for who you are. the only person who should tell you something is GOD no one else...........

Rory says:

Who cares NeYo is gay or not.... If he sings gud and the tunes are preduced gud then why not listen to it? This is twofousendandsix people! There are gay ppl in this world and some of them are talented. Deal wivit!

Everyone has a cuz/bro/sis/uncle/aunt/niece/nephew/friend/coworker or even mum or dad who is/are gay (or terribly repressed and unhappy, maybe even gettin mental ilnesses because of the hate they get.You might not even know) and I for one, am not bovverd wiv their sexuality. They haven't done anyfing wrong to me so why waste my energy hatin?

Anyways, what I was wondering about is: Has anyone seen his head? I nevah seen him wivout somfing on his head. Is he tryin to cover up some strange head shape/bald patches/warts/antennas/vitoligro (or howevah u spell dat lol) or sumfing? LOL. Or does he just fink that's the only way he can look "cool". LOL

75.

gitau says:

Devin Holloway says:

Neyo i love you if you're gay or not. I am a gay male teen and if you really come out on tv or something like that i would respect u even more because i would have a famouse GAY black artist artist to look up to, and there are very little gays famouse black people to look up to. Neyo if you come out the closet i would repect to even more, because i need some gay idle in my life at this time.

84.

Black Women says:

I think it's messed, up be it true or not. We as blacks are spending to much time on the negative. If he is gay that's between him and God, NOT MAN! I am not a Ne-Yo fan, but I am going out to buy his CD to show my support. My children don't understand the rumors and why is so important. From one black straight female to my BLACK/AFRICAN-AMERICANS, we need to concentrate on helping and supporting each other inspite of our faults. THERE IS NO PERFECT MAN ON EARTH! LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND CONCENTRATE ON YOUR OWN FAULTS, YOU JUST MIGHT SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT PERFECT AND ARE HIDING YOUR OWN SKELETONS!

85.

tiffany says:

I LOVE NE YO he is so sexy and fine. you are not gay so don't worry about it baby I STILL LOVE YOU.

86.

Jasmine says:

Whether Ne-Yo is gay or not is not the problem...If he wants to come out that is his choice and I will respect the fact the "if" he is gay is coming out to the world "litterally". You have people who cant even come out to their own family.

87.

Ashcan says:

As a poster above said, why would Ne-yo pose like he did in that picture if he was str8? Surely he does not think that that is a manly or sexy pose does he, it's funny, guys, 'particularly' in the entertainment business will wear certain things, do certain things, and take photos like above, and then when the rumors fly, THEY GET MAD! Remember guys, their is a witchhunt going on for gay and DL brothers and the slightest, most innocent things you do, say or wear could start rumors that aren't true. So BEWARE!

88.

D'ANGELO says:

DOES IT MATTER???? HE IS A GREAT SONGWRITER/SINGER. HE IS EVEN A GOOD PERFORMER. I ENJOY HIS DELIVERY OF MUSIC. WHY DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO DO OUR BEST TO TEAR PEOPLE DOWN WHO ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT IN LIFE. WHOEVER STARTED THIS BULL, I HOPE THE WRATH OF GOD COME UPON YOU. FORREAL.

BackOnMyBullshit says:

I agree with O.com, you guys say he's not gay, but you couldn't have a more gay pictured posted. I think he's bisexual. Whatever!! He's still an awesome song writer.

101.

Cathline says:

THANK GOD NE-YO IS NOT GAY HE IS TO SEXY HE NEEDS A GOOD WOMAN IN HIS LIFE NO OFFENSE TO ANY GAY MAN OUT THERE BUT NE-YO IS FINE HOLLA!!!!!!!!

102.

Trey says:

Now me personally..I wish the rumors were true because I think Ne-Yo is sexy. I'm a bi-sexual male. And I also take it very offensive when people try and make it seem like gay's and bi's are so wrong for being that way. It's time for "us" to stand up and stop being ashamed for what we are!!! Just because we like the same sex that dont' mean God will not forgive us for sinning and allow us in heaven..I just find that hard to believe that he will not forgive us for that but he'll forgive murderers and rapists. Please!!! Stop trying to judge us!! In the end only one person is gonna do that!! Leave it up to him!!

103.

Ray says:

Ne-yo's fugly so who cares who he hits.. lol.. but seriously, this is probably one big old publicity sunt. All u have to do is be true to urself - I'm bi and pround! Whatever u do in secret comes out eventually so ya'll have been warned..

btw, what the f**k is up with >>> http://www.mediatakeout.com/Photos/Image_Set_30.html

Cutie Pie says:

Ummmm....I don't like dat pic but Ne-Yo look good. I knew those rumors were false when I first heard um cus why would Essence cover it but BET aint said jack?! Dey jus be haitin dats all.

sassy chic says:

ANOMOMOUS says:

Ne-yo can't. he sings about gurls all the time. and he's all over dem in his videos. so wtf??? how can u say that. Chris Brown is a HATA

107.

J says:

Aight...that is a gay picture...but some of the sexiest "straight" men take pictures like that. Like Usher, D'Angelo, Omarion...so whateva... It's not good to pass judgement on people...just someone hating in my opinion. I blame his stylist and the photographer telling him to pose and look like that...cuz whoa...it was a bit too much. LOL! To each is own!! I like his songs and still think he has a wonderful voice...and i'll keep listening regardless. I still like Luther Vandross although he was swinging the other way!

108.

fox34 says:

if he wasnt gay then y the hell did he take that gay ass picture of him.........HE LOOK LIKE HES POSING FOR THE GAY CLUB...................................THAT NIGGA IS GAY

JASMINA SABI says:

That is such comedy how he look so gay up in that picture. well i don't give a dam if he's gay as long as he don't have boys in his video.

110.

Baby J says:

Even if he is gay i still like him because he is a talented artist. Just because someone has a kid dont mean they not gay!!!

Lets not forget Elton john was married to a woman!

Gay or not hes still good in my books.

122.

CAROL LEWIS says:

SO IF NE-YO NOT GAY, WHAT WAS KISS FM TALKING
ABOUT?

123.

shawanda says:

If ne-yo is gay, It doesn't matter because inside he's a good person and have a very good talent because he can sing and dance and rumors should stop because if it not true then stop making it seem true and if ne-yo was gay he should confess. Even if he is i will still feel the same way i feel about him now because i feel that he's strong and bold and i really like his my favorite song is sexy love. luv you ne-yo holla at yo girl wanda i am 13 and i no how to sing tooo.

124.

Deshauna says:

no i dont think he is but people say chris is his bf and that is a lie cuz he is my bf

125.

Jessica says:

Yes we all know that picture isn't very convincing to show when you're saying someones not gay. I'm a very big ne-yo fan and I would pray to God that he's not gay, but in this day in time who knows. I mean years ago I would have said no he isn't but look @ how many black men are starting to come out about being homosexuals. Back in the day they were ashamed of it. Now a days it doesn't even matter to them anymore. That's why aids is rising so highly among african american women. these men are married and yet having affairs with men. Now I know ne-yo is a father now but in these days I just don't know he could be but I won't beleive it until I hear it come from his mouth, but even if he is I still believe he's a great singer and song writer and will continue to support him as a artist.

126.

Kibibi Ali says:

i really dont think he's gay he's to damn hot to be one.

127.

Patricia says:

Ne-yo better not be gay. No he's not. He looks to good, his songs are to good for that man to be gay. But hey Luther Vandross made the best love songs, and now even his friends say the man was gay! I pray to God that my man Ne-yo ain't gay!!!!!!!!!!!!

128.

lu-lu says:

thats not ne-yo...he's not fit like that!

129.

shacquira says:

Ne-yo is as about as gay as my cousin Roney. Ain't nobody gone just dis this boy like that . He needs to be real about it. If it ain't true speak up for yourself. on the real i love his music but somebody needs to let me know is he GAY OR WHAT ?

130.

Fuss says:

What the fuss, some of them are gays, what's wrong with it? We in 2006 people... Even Alan keys' Daughter is a Lesbian and did come out! lol

131.

135.

Akeira C. says:

that's not even a pic of ne-yo!!! it's an IMPOSTER!!!!

136.

scrappy says:

this is to all the people that wrote to this page.

we see the pic and the pic does make him look gay. But do you know that person in the pic. We are so quick to judge and not think. If the young man is so what you r still going out to the concerts, watching him on T.V. and buying his music. How can you say that someone is gay and you have not lived the gay life yourself.

Most of the men how talk about a gay man 90%want to try it one time. And I know alot.

So I close by saying this there's a old song writen by the Williams Brothers the song says,(Sweep Around your own front door before you try and sweep around someone else door.)

I know what the gay life's
about.

137.

Bryant T. says:

Anonymous says:

MEDIA TAKEOUT ARE A BUNCH OF DAMN LIARS!! ALL THEY DO IS LIE & EXAGGERATE. THEY RUN THESE STORIES THAT HAVE NO FACTUAL MEANING.AND WHATS FUNNY IS WHEN PEOPLE PRINT A STORY BASED ON A SO CALL TIPSTER OR SECRET SOURCE. WHAT KIND OF BULL IS THAT A TRUE JOURNALIST IS SUPOSE TO DO RESEARCH ON YOUR FACTS. THIS AIN'T NOTHING BUT CHEAP GOSSIP. YOU LISTEN TO THIS CRAP AND RUN WITH IT AS LONG AS ITS SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT SOMEONE. I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THIS SH#@ I READ!

JMelly, Bx, NY says:

your best nightmare says:

damn... love people being ig'nant on comment pages like this. some people think that the person the article pertains to... is actually written by the person. others think so closed-mindedly that all that comes out of their asses actually barrels out of their mouths.

being gay is not a bad thing, nor should it be condemned (haters? y'all is the haters for talkin' shit 'bout gay ppl, aight--god loves ALL his creations, he ain't make no mistakes. unless u tellin' him he ain't perfect, cuz he supposed to be). based on set facts, he's not, but if he is, so be it. don't buy his stuff if you think you're going to turn gay from it. don't support gays, because you think they're wrong.

but it's funny, because they are a part of your life, NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK, FEEL, OR BELIEVE.

get real, people. stop hatin'--FOR REAL.

one more thing: if they are true...i'm not buying a single ticket! i love you though..just get yourself together

156.

Mahauganee Shaw says:

Ne-Yo should sue Essence?!??! Essence is full of it??!?! Are y'all serious?? These are the dumbest, most ignorant statements I've read all day. Essence cannot control random people for using their name and reputation. Not only would a lawsuit be a pointless waste of time and effort, but a frivolous use of funds. I'm so happy that Ne-Yo and his advisors are too smart to pursue such foolishness.

The point is that there are some people who can't stand to see other people doing well. Loosely translated, there will always be haters along the road to success. Ne-Yo would do right to simply shake them off and keep moving.

157.

Attitude says:

Ne-yo I don't care if u r a gay which i kno u r not & baby if u r readin dis I LUV U very much. U r so sexy & don't stop doin ur thing

158.

Ujomah Taylor says:

PLEASE...Essense is full of it.Im not a NE YO fan at all but who can believe what essense puts out.Essense is latin for "Men bashing magazine for wanna be uppity black women".Essense is for black women, and black women gossip like nobody else on earth to keep all that.I dont believe it.

159.

J Blood says:

Yo if homeboy is DL about his sexual preference so what, that is his business who he sleeps with. It should not matter, he still is a great song writer and singer. The black community should still support him no matter what his life style is, we know their are alot of gay artist in the industry, they just keep their shit on the low. The artist who are gay or are on the DL should make sure he continues to get the support he needs to keep him in the industry.

P.S: If we do not hear from him again after this, it will be a real shame for all the up and coming artist.

Dez Pettiford says:

I Think it's sad that someone wants to destroy a person career on false information given. I think based on the information receive; this is an act of revenge by someone in Ne Yo camp.

Why would someone go to that extreme to put him out there & lie on him just to do something, that goes to show how much people enjoy smiling in your face & kicking down at the same time.

God watches everything we do & when he chastise him or her for doing this they will know he mean business... Ne Yo keep on doing your thang player forget those hatters that jealous of your success.

162.

Aj says:

In this day and age it doesnt matter who is gay and straight as long as they deliver great talent. After all thats why we buy albums and movies. Because we like them.

163.

ken says:

NE-YO should sue essence

164.

william autry says:

look the whole point is is that half the music industry is gay, my belief is yes usher is gay, Neo and chris brown are new found lovers and yes Omarion and Marques Houston arent related thats a cover up cause their lovers. I think B2k disbanded cause their in the closet manager was probably tryna sleep with all of em and the couldnt take it anymore. Heck even some of these fake hard core rappers are gay #1 victim Curtis"50cent" Jackson. so if this sounds totally untrue i wouldnt doubt these folks are human beings like evryone else. and thats my opinion

165.

So Sick says:

Now yall no dat Ne-Yo is not GAY somebody probably jus jealous because people like him better than other celeberties and Ne-Yo if you hear this I LOVE U I am a very big fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

166.

ken says:

this is typical garbage from the black man hating essence, this is the same magazine that spent so much time and its own money promoting something new. in the past it has also been criticised for sluring black man with stereotypes (thuggish, homo etc) guess we can see why.

167.

D says:

I LOVE NE-YO.. AND THATS PRETTY WACK IF HE IS GAY. U HEARD ME NEYO... DON'T DO IT!... WELL IF YOU R JUST CONFESS- SO THAT I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!..HAJA! OH YES!

MY SEXY LOVE....

dwyane says:


These people who plan to destory artist's careers e.g Ne-yo, beyonce, whitney, bobby,rihanna, the list goes on have nothin better to do than to lie, lie, lie I can somewhat feel a dangerous ounce of kama comin on!!!!! 10 times over and who ever it is media, haters, or freaks ur time will come, ur lies will be exposed how sad!.

The people who are behind savage rummours, and do these crazy things are Evil bad mind freaks who need medication., and the sad thing about it, is the fact that people really believe everything that they read we have to all be so carful when taking in information from anywhere. I am so glad its not true, and even if it was true that would be his business he is a human being!!!!! any thing to build u up then drag u down!!!!!!

People need to take there spitful,decitful,jealous destructive nose out of other people's lives and worry about themself's. People have so much to say about others but nothin bout themselfs shame on u tell the truth and shame the devil.
