Pop and R&B sensation Ne-Yo appeared to reverse course<\/a> for a second time regarding his stance on children receiving gender transition treatments.<\/p>\n

Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, went viral Sunday after a conversation on VladTV with Gloria Velez featured him slamming parents who allow their kids to make “life-changing decisions” through gender transitions.<\/p>\n

The singer originally defended his comments<\/a> on Instagram after facing pushback from LGBTQ+ activists but then a written apology was posted on the “Sexy Love” singer’s social media on Monday.<\/p>\n

“After much reflection, I\u2019d like to express my deepest apologies to anyone that I may have hurt with my comments on parenting and gender identity. I\u2019ve always been an advocate for love and inclusivity in the LGBTQI+ community, so I understand how my comments could\u2019ve been interpreted as insensitive and offensive,” the statement said in part.<\/p>\n

However, hours later, Ne-Yo himself took to Instagram<\/a> with a video to clarify his position “from the horse\u2019s mouth” and “not the publicist\u2019s computer.”<\/p>\n

“Listen, I normally don\u2019t give too much of a d— about what y\u2019all think about what I do, what you have to say about what I say, whatever. I normally don\u2019t care because, like I said, opinions ain\u2019t special. Everybody got one. However, this is something I feel very strongly on, and I need y\u2019all to hear it from the horse\u2019s mouth, not the publicist\u2019s computer,” Ne-Yo began.<\/p>\n

He said, “First and foremost, I did not apologize for having an opinion on this matter. I am a 43-year-old heterosexual man raising five boys and two girls, okay? That\u2019s my reality. If my opinion offended somebody, yeah, sure, I apologize for you being offended because that wasn\u2019t my intention. My intention is never to offend anybody.”<\/p>\n

“However, I\u2019m entitled to feel how I feel. I am absolutely entitled to feel how I feel the same way you are entitled to feel how you feel,” he continued.<\/p>\n

Ne-Yo stated that<\/a> he does plan to “educate” himself on the issues but insisted that he has “no beef with the [LGBTQIA+] community” and only “answered the d— question.”<\/p>\n

“If I get canceled for this, then, you know what, maybe this is a world where they don\u2019t need a Ne-Yo no more. And I ain\u2019t got no problem with that. I\u2019m a hustler, alright? I\u2019ll figure it out,” the singer said.<\/p>\n

“I love everybody. Live how you want to live. Love how you want to love, but your opinion is yours. Speak your opinion as much as you d— well feel like it, because as I said, they\u2019re not special,” he said at the end of the video.<\/p>\n

Text accompanying the video read, “Ok. This s— is getting out of hand. FROM THE HORSE\u2019S MOUTH. I WILL NOT BE BULLIED INTO APOLOGIZING FOR HAVING AN OPINION. AGREEING TO DISAGREE IS NOT A DECLARATION OF WAR.”<\/p>\n

He went on, “My intention is never to offend anybody\u2026but my opinion is MINE and I\u2019m entitled to it. I don\u2019t care what y\u2019all do with yours. That\u2019s YOURS. This is how I FEEL. If one of my 7 kids were to decide that he or she wanted to be something other than what they were born as, once they\u2019re old enough and mature enough to make that decision\u2026so be it. Not gonna love em\u2019 any less. Daddy is still Daddy and he loves you regardless. But this isn\u2019t even a discussion until they are MENTALLY MATURE ENOUGH to have such a discussion.”<\/p>\n

Ne-Yo concluded with a plea to “agree to disagree and coexist PEACEFULLY.”<\/p>\n
