Ne-Yo has had to defend his character time and again, ever since he stepped into the spotlight as a high quality R&B artist. Even though he has denied claims of being attracted to men numerous times, stories and rumors keep popping up regarding that topic. In a recent interview with Upscale, Ne-Yo spoke up about how these stories and rumors have affected him over the years.
"That sh-t ate me alive...[I was] like where did that come from?' Who are these people that have gone to such heights to try to make people believe this? They went all out with that story.
"I've never been the 'hey everybody, look at me!' dude and I'm not gonna start. If my music doesn't do it for you, if it doesn't get your attention, there's 100 dudes out there that will do anything and everything so that you'll look at them. I'm not that dude."
