In a recent interview with radio personality Max, while in the UK promoting his upcoming album Libra Scale, R&B singer Ne-Yo was asked his opinion on music from his peers (Usher, Trey Songz and Chris Brown), since he is in the same category as them. Regarding Usher and the success he has garnered since releasing confessions: âSuccess is a gift and a curse. Usher put out âConfessionsâ and did 10 million units, maybe more than that across the world,â Ne-Yo says. â10 million in the states alone, which is an accomplishment; an achievement. And the album was flawless top to bottom. So now everything that you do after that has got to be as good as that for me. You canât put out top quality grade A and then gimme Bâs and Câs after that, I canât accept it. The Raymond vs. Raymond album isnât a bad album but itâs not âConfessionsâ. So even though I may like some of the stuff that is going on right now, itâs not âConfessionsâ. Ne-Yo went on to say people are going to take this the wrong way and spin it but there is no drama with him and Usher. âAgain, I donât want nobody to think I got beef with Usher,â he says. âIf I donât like something personally, Iâm gonna say that; I have no beef with Usher.â As far as Trey Songz, Ne-Yo says Trey has always been talented. âI feel like Trey has been dope for a really really long time and people just now started paying attention,â Ne-Yo says about the I Invented Sex star. âIn my personal opinion, I think he has one of the best voices in the game. He definitely knows what he is doing in regards to R&B and Iâm glad that he found his niche; the sexy guy. Thatâs his thing. Everybody comes in and find there niche; Iâm the gentleman and heâs the sexy guy; Iâm happy for that dude.â When asked if Chris Brown could ever return to the glory he once had, Ne-Yo decided not to comment on the young superstar. âMe and Chris are in a place right now,â says Ne-Yo. âIt has nothing to do with his music, itâs a more personal thing, so Iâm not even gonna comment on Chris. Iâm gonna let Chris be Chris and me be me. Never will it be said that Ne-Yo said anything about Chris Brown.â Ne-Yo then finishes of the question with âknow who your real friends are,â confirming that there is beef between him and Chris Brown.
What do Ne-Yo, Usher, Trey Songz and Chris Brown all have in common? If you guessed that they are all highly successful R&B singers then you would be right! But there is more to the story. It seems that beef between two of these musicians has been confirmed and another one’s Bs and Cs were rejected by yet another. Read on to find out what exactly went down between these music moguls!
Ne-Yo recently opened up about his thoughts on some of today’s biggest R&B stars. He said he “couldn’t accept” Usher’s Bs and Cs, but also gave a special shoutout to Trey Songz for being “the sexy guy”. This comes after recent news that Ne-Yo may have reignited his feud with Chris Brown over an old disagreement. Fans have long speculated about a rivalry between the two artists, so it looks like this could be confirmation of their ongoing beef.
It appears that things are getting heated within the world of R&B music. Will Ne-Yo keep throwing shade at other artists or will everyone come together for peace? One thing is certain: tensions are high among these musical powerhouses and we can only wait to see how things unfold from here!
Ne-Yo’s Response To Usher’s Comments
Ne-Yo isn’t having any of Usher’s comments. The “Miss Independent” singer has confirmed his beef with Chris Brown and made it clear that Trey Songz is the sexy guy in R&B. In a recent interview, Ne-Yo hit back at Usher by saying “Usher’s comments don’t really make sense to me because I think we all know who the real king of R&B is. And that’s Trey.”
The singer went on to explain that he was disappointed by Usher’s words. He said, “It wasn’t necessary for him to even bring up my name or Chris’ name in order to talk about himself…I just feel like there could have been another way to get your point across without involving us three.”
When asked if he had anything else to say about their feud, Ne-Yo simply shook his head and stated: “Nah, what else needs to be said? We already know who the real king of R&B is – and it ain’t either one of us!” Clearly, Ne-Yo has no intention of letting this spat go anytime soon!
Confirmation Of Longstanding Beef With Chris Brown
Ne-Yo also addressed his long-standing beef with Chris Brown during the interview. He confirmed that there is still bad blood between them, saying ‘I think it’s safe to say that we don’t like each other.’ He went on to explain why they had a falling out in the first place: “It has been an ongoing thing since way back when. We just never saw eye-to-eye and after some time spent around each other we ended up not being friends anymore.”
The singer also took this opportunity to make sure everyone knew where he stands. Ne-Yo made it clear that Trey Songz was the only one who deserved recognition as the king of R&B. “Trey has definitely earned his stripes,” he said. “He’s put in work and created great music over the years – something I respect.”
When asked if he would ever be willing to collaborate with Chris Brown again, Ne-Yo responded by saying “No comment! I think people know what side I’m on at this point.” It seems like Ne-Yo is done playing nice when it comes to Chris Brown – or Usher for that matter!
Conclusion
I’m sure Ne-Yo’s response to Usher has put the issue of his beef with Chris Brown firmly in focus. After all, it’s no secret that the two have had a long and complicated relationship over the years. Not only did he confirm their longstanding feud but he also made comments about Trey Songz being sexy.
It looks like this situation is not going away anytime soon as both parties are standing firm on their positions. It will be interesting to see how this plays out and what other developments arise from this recent exchange between these two popular singers.
In any case, one thing is for certain – Ne-Yo cannot accept Usher’s BS & CS anymore and isn’t afraid to speak up about it. He certainly won’t back down now that he’s confirmed his beef with Chris Brown either. Clearly, we can expect more exciting things to come from him in the near future!
