YES, I got all your e-mails. YES, I heard about the Ne-Yo/Essence rumor. But you know I had to do some digging around to bring you all the facts – well some of them anyway.
Last week a snippet was flying around the web, claiming that Ne-Yo was coming out in the October Issue of Essence Magazine. Here is what it said:
Singer Ne-yo Announces He Is Gay | Essence Magazine August 23,2006
The newly famed singer/songwriter has came out of the closet and announced that he is gay. The multi-platinum recording artist sat down for the October issue of Essence Magazine last week and announced the shocking news stating, “Yes, I am gay, and I have always been.” After several internet rumors have been circulating around the internet. He also said, “You now this world we live in is full of judgement, resulting in one of the reasons why it took me so long to come out of the closet.” Earlier this month, a man by the name of Derrick Johnson claimed that he had an intimate relationship with the singer during there teen years in high school. He also said that for months the singer and Def Jam has been trying to pay him to keep quiet over the ordeal. Worrying that it would destroy his image. Ne-yo responds saying, that the relationship did occur and he is no longer ashamed of saying that he was deeply in love. Reciting “That situation was what inspired me to write the song Unfaithful. But no one knew it was actually about myself, and our relationship.” He told Essence that he doesn’t care anymore, he was tired of living a lie and is ready to come clean. Quoting, “the music industry can either except me for who I am, or desert me.” The full interview with the magazine is expected to hit stands mid-October.
Barbra Stradoff,
Essence Magazine
Well first off, there are too many grammatical errors for this to be an actual Essence Magazine snippet. You know the editor would have went crazy on the person who wrote this.
Second of all, a Barbra Stradoff doesn’t even work at Essence Mag! I talked to some of my sources, and they say she isn’t even listed in the employee directory.
I personally don’t believe the rumors, even though that picture above says otherwise. How you doin..?
