Singer Ne-Yo is retracting his “publicist’s” apology after he received backlash for calling out parents who allow their children to change genders.
On Monday, Ne-Yo took to his Instagram page to address the controversy “from the horse’s mouth” and “not the publicist’s computer.”
“First and foremost, I do 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’s my reality,” he said in a video.
However, the “So Sick” singer did apologize if his “opinion offended somebody” because it wasn’t his “intention.”
“I will never be okay with allowing a child to make a decision that detrimental to they life. I will never be okay with that,” he later clarified, after stating he had “no beef with the community whatsoever.”
Furthermore, Ne-Yo expressed he wasn’t concerned about being “canceled” over his opinion.
“If I get canceled for this, then you know what, maybe this is a world where they don’t need a Ne-Yo no more,” he said. “And I got no problem with that. I’m a hustler, I’ll figure it out.”
