Ne-Yo recently sat down with Gloria Velez for her podcast on VladTV, where he opened up about transgender children and their parents. The clip quickly sparked controversy online, and Ne-Yo issued an apology.
On Sunday (August 6) night, Ne-Yo wrote on Twitter, "I've always been an advocate for love and inclusivity in the LGBTQI+ community, so I understand how my comments could've been interpreted as insensitive and offensive. Gender identity is nuanced and I can honestly admit that I plan to better educate myself on the topic, so I can approach future conversations with more empathy."
