In this clip, Ne-Yo opened up about the toughest part of being a parent. He said the hardest aspect is maintaining a balance between being a father and a friend to his children. Drawing inspiration from his mother, who managed this balance well when he was growing up, Ne-Yo wants to encourage open dialogue with his children on any topic. He expressed his desire to be someone his kids turn to when they are dealing with difficult issues, rather than a figure they fear and feel they have to hide things from. Additionally, Ne-Yo discussed navigating the safety issues among entertainers. He attributes his personal safety to his more reserved, less flashy lifestyle, suggesting that showing off wealth only increases security risks. He expressed that entertainers should be conscious of the potential dangers and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
