Ne-Yo takes back apology for comments on trans children: “I will not be bullied”
Ne-Yo has clarified that his recent apology for his comments on parenting and gender identity was actually meant for those who took offence to it.
The father of seven came under fire for stating that he has “no problem with LGBT” but is “from an era where a man was a man and a woman was a woman”. “And there was two genders and that’s just how I rocked,” he told Gloria Velez in an interview with VladTV.
The ‘Miss Independent’ singer continued: “You could identify as a goldfish if you feel like, I don’t care, that ain’t my business.
It becomes my business when you try to make me play the game. I’m not gonna call you a goldfish. But you wanna be a goldfish, you be a goldfish.” Ne-Yo also shared his thoughts on “what the role of a parent is”. “If your little boy comes to you and says, ‘Daddy, I want to be a girl.’ And you just let him rock with that?
