There is more artists on his label and his first artists were '''ChiChi Glacierz (a female rapper from brooklyn whom been on the scene for years) SixxxJohn (songwriter and producer and rapper i believe) Cree (female singer with songbird voice) Shanell (singer/songwriter/choreographer)''' you guys need to google or even check his www.compoundent.com website the artists are listed there. and some of those people you list do not exist guys! Correct the information.

Neutrality
These are opinions:
 * At the tender age of twenty-two, Ne-Yo possesses lyrical and musical talent that are far beyond his years.
 * "Let Me Love You" is a glimpse into the mind of a true writer.
 * A master in the art of storytelling,...
 * ...this dynamic entertainer is ready to deliver

Moreover, some phrases are better suited for magazines than an encyclopedia, such as:
 * Ne-Yo is taking the music industry by storm,

Someone please clean up this article. Mindmatrix 18:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I think this is much better now; most of the publicity handout is gone. I'm gunna say that this is neutral, or at least close, at this point. Jjjsixsix 03:23, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

random comment.
Why is ''This article portrays Shivaji's image as person influenced by Hindu and especially Brahmin ideology, which is completely false. The mention of James Laine's book is unwanted and there was great controversy @ it in India.'' in the article?

I can't edit it out either; it's really weird. - Jjjsixsix 22:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Yo what 'bout my hubby's song drugz? wassup wit dat?*NeyoLover*

Bold Name
Why is Ne-Yo bold everytime his name is mentioned?
 * That was because his name was being continuously Wikified throughout the article. I've removed the Wikification marks. As I've noticed recently, this can be a problem if the actual name of the article was different to the name of the individual (for example, if he were Ne-Yo (singer) ). Anyway. It's dealt with. Thank you for pointing this out. Bobo. 08:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Envy
I added information about Ne-Yo's previous group, but someone editted it out, saying I didn't have a source. Anyways, here's a video of him performing with his group Envy: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Lg6ygzZFfRs (Rishi B 02:20, 7 July 2006 (UTC))

Race
Ne-Yo was born to Puerto Rican immigrants, so he is Puerto Rican. And I know this much is trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


 * No.He's Partially puerto rican.he has a chinese, puerto rican, and african american decent.-- Cute 1 4 u 06:27, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Gay?
Who put that he was gay, I don't think he is. As it says in the "Trivia" section, there were leaked photos of him receiving oral sex by one of his FEMALE backup dancers. I've seen the pictures. He ain't gay.

I removed the content. Please monitor the page regularly to ensure that someone doesn't try to repost it. Infamous30 13:37, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not adding this as it sounds just like gossip fodder for now, but I was told today that Essence magazine would be publishing in October an interview in which Ne-Yo reportedly came out. Anybody have any more news on this? Elefuntboy 00:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I recieved the same exact info. -Le Raine

I posted something and it cgot deleted Le Raine 20:31, 28 August 2006

If you heard that Essence is printing an article that finds Ne-Yo coming out of the closet, then you should wait until the article actually appears. That way, you can use it as a source for a statement about Ne-Yo's sexuality. Or, find a legitimate online source or print source that mentions the upcoming article and use that as a reference. Unfortunately, rumors of a forthcoming article, whether they're true or not, aren't good enough. Infamous30 03:52, 29 August 2006 (UTC)i dont care if he's gay he can sing

Hello I think we should remove this because my HUBBY aint GAY! Now I saw a picture of him recieving oral sex by one of his FEMALE back-up dancers!

Rumors
Should we include this section? Someone has anonymously removed it, but i'm hesitant to replace it. Elefuntboy 01:03, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Second Album
I heard on TV that Ne-Yo's second album is to be called "The Truth, The Way, The Problem"... Is this true? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mickel The Vain (talk • contribs) 03:58, 17 December 2006 (UTC).

I don't know. That is an interesting title as i can remember in another Ne-Yo song him mentioning something about the title. He says " I hop y'all are enjoying "The Truth, The Way, The Problem thus far". But, i think that it was a song not on his album. Possibly one from his album that was never released. Maybe thats where this information came from. I don't know :P What do you think?

Yeah, It was in the song "The Plan", but on some show, it said something about his sophomore album being titled that.

Could be, i don't know. Maybe he'll use material from his unreleased album.

Hopefully, I love the songs Can't Stop, Go To Sleep, You Ain't Gotta Go, The Plan, I Was In Love And Don't Worry Me Now. They'd be great songs for an album

Now that it's November 7th 2007 his second album is called "Becuase of You"! I have 5 copies!

Please clean up this article. — zero » · 4:44:22 am, Saturday, 24 March 2007

Home
Ne-Yo has sung a song called "Home" which was put onto "Now That's What I Call Christmas 3. I think we should add a section of all of Ne-yo's unreleased material. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.176.172.8 (talk • contribs)
 * I think it's a bad idea to add information about unreleased material. If it isn't released, it's probably not notable. Further, if it isn't released, it's also difficult to verify and document. -- Mikeblas 13:50, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I own all of Ne-Yo's unreleased tracks. I can upload them onto imeem.com and have links to it Mickel The Vain 00:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

REAL LOVE _____________________ 12:10, 18 August 2007 (UTC) in the section of guest appearances u forgot the song  Real love  by Trinity stone featuring Ne-YO

age
this age thing is crazy, he was born 1979 but for marketing purposes sometimes he is billed as younger, he has said his age to be 28 in several magazines but someone keeps changing it to 82 so I think that we should just omit this birth year. Baltimorecreole 20:07, 23 September 2007 (UTC)Baltimorecreole

His birth year
Was he born in 1979? Because in Teen People magazine it said he was 26 but in another article that i read they said he was 22... which on is it cuz i wannw know how old my fave singer really is!!!!

Neyo was born on October 18, 1979, he is 33 years old —Preceding unsigned comment added by Janet2gees (talk • contribs) 15:48, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

NOTE: I went to Rancho High School with Shaffer and I can confirm he is 22. I am 27 and he graduated the same year as me (1998).

^ that doesn't make sense, if you're 27 than so is he..

I dont care if my man/sexylove is 89, I love him. I hope u all do too! -NeyoLover

Actually ne-yo is 3 yrs older than he tells everyone he said in a jet magazine article dated june 4, 2007 "ne-yo is 24, schaffer is 27" and thats straight from the horses mouth

He also told his age of 27 to XXL magazine...the birth year has to be changed —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baltimorecreole (talk • contribs) 12:26, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello, i don't know how to change this but his birth yeqr is wrong, Vibe Magazine says that his birth certificate says he was born in October 1979, though he sometimes likes to say he is younger. here's the reference: http://www.vibe.com/news/news_headlines/2007/02/ne_yo_interview/ Can someone please update his birth year.

Ne-yo is indeed 28 yrs old...he reveals his real age in a Vibe magazine interview : "Ne-yo the performer is 24 but Shaffer Smith is 27" (Vibe Magazine June 2006 if i'm not mistaken: Beyonce is on the cover). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.201.209.211 (talk) 00:02, 1 April 2008 (UTC) Sry correction its the June 2007 issue of Vibe w/ Beyonce on the cover. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.201.209.211 (talk) 22:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I watched the Tavis Smiley show on PBS last night... and listened to the truth come from Neyo's mouth. He said his record label wanted him to lie about his age in the beginning to prolong his music career. He then stated that he no longer had to lie that he is indeed 28 and will be 29 on October 18th of this year. 143.166.226.57 (talk) 20:10, 9 September 2008 (UTC) Ms. Cocoa

Not Gay
Hopefully this will kill the controversy:

Ne-Yo's publicist is flatly denying claims that the singer will announce that he's gay during a New York press conference this week and in an upcoming issue of Essence magazine. An e-mail purportedly including quotes from the interview and attributed to a woman named Barbra Stradoff at Essence has also been circulating. "It's completely false," a Def Jam representative said. "There's isn't a staff member by that name at Essence, nor is Ne-Yo going to be featured in the October issue of the magazine."... (MTV News, August 29)

Infamous30 13:46, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

To further discuss this, it seems like its made way to radio stations too. Supposedly, Friday, September 8th, he will discuss this and more. The radio station is Q93. so look out for it.

I'm not surprised. He's pretty hot, but the way I heard it was that he's bi-courious. I'm bi, but I always neglected Shaffer, till now.

Im sorry but i know my hottie or SexyLove is not gay 4 a fact.(from neyolover)

I heard this interview on some website from Ne-Yo at this basketball match or something, and he said, "Wow, People think I'm gay. That's Hot! At least I know I'm a celebrity now"

Top 10s on Hot 100
In the current opening article about hot Ne-Yo, it says that he has amassed seven Top 10 hits. Actually, he has had eight so far (whether as lead artist or featured artist). Can somebody change is "important" information in the official article? Fun fact for a chart geek like me: five of his eight Top 10s have peaked at No. 7.

Birth date
As with Mariah Carey, Lil' Kim and others, sources differ on his birthday. Contactmusic, which I'm not sure is WP:RS, gives 1979. However, the Billboard database and AllMusic.com, which are definitely RS, give 1982. If Contctmusic is RS, then it's POV to choose one date over another. This needs further investigation. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:57, 16 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Complicating matter, Contactmusic.com ITSELF gives two different birthdates. The biographical text gives birth date as "18.10.1979". The sidebar of bio facts on the very same page gives birth date as "18th October, 1982". --Tenebrae (talk) 23:04, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

First of all I am sure that Shanell is with Young Money now, not Ne-Yo's label ? Second of all, Ne-Yo confirmed in an interview with ConcreteLoop that he is in fact part Chinese.

Ne-Yo has just admitted to being a Zimbabwean Citizen; His mother previously known as Roslyn Rahman was born and raised in Zimbabwe until she moved to America at the age of 19. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.167.232.220 (talk) 16:00, 16 July 2008 (UTC) He has a child with one of his best friends he indicated this during his first interview for his freshmen album. 35.11.200.66 (talk) 15:18, 26 January 2008 (UTC) Ne-YOGENISUS
 * At time 17:16, 30 June 2008, editor Kollkollkoll added this to the discussion: "Ne-yo has said that he has a son.He also said that his son is not bioligicaly related to him, but will raise him as his own.The mother of his son is hie ex-girlfriend Jessica White.Ne-yo's son's name is Chimere Smith.There have been some issues about Chimere.The family of Jessica White says that Ne-Yo doesn't pay her any money for child support and that she cant take care of Chimere without his money.Also that she almost got eveicted from the house that she is living in.which is located in Los Angles." This was interpolated into the text above by 35.11.200.66.  Please note that I am just un-entangling this text and don't endorse it, since I don't know anything about this artist.  :D  Brilliant Pebble (talk) 19:46, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

New year new stories but real ones
I would love it if people could talk more about people that are not famous but has an story to the life and which will inspire not just the youth of today but the youngest and the old people for our future. Jade suleiman (talk) 01:36, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

The 'Notes' tab should be removed
In my opinion, the 'Notes' tab within the article should be removed if no notes can be added to it as in my opinion it is pointless having an empty tab within the article. Xboxsponge15 (talk) 11:05, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Image for Wiki Article
Hey, folks! I've changed the picture for this page twice, since the current one has a lot of shadows and can be difficult for viewers with lower vision levels to see. Another user has twice changed it back without sufficient dialogue beyond "turn up the brightness on your screen," which is not sufficient for disabled users per WPACCESS. I've previously added two different photos, but both were reverted by this other user without any constructive dialogue on this talk page. I'm hesitant to change it again, since I don't want this user to continue their EDITWAR with me. Instead, I'd like some other users to weigh in per Collaboration first. I'm thinking this picture should be changed to something that's more easily visible for all wiki users. Thoughts? (Also, initiating this conversation for thoughts, but we can request Third opinion if needed.) Pumpkinspyce (talk) 03:01, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
