Ne-Yo has ignited a social media storm after a viral video showed him backstage, kissing multiple women before a performance.
The clip, shared by LiveBitez, shows the R&B singer showering affection on his partners, with each woman receiving a kiss as he prepares to take the stage. The women smile and support him, but the public response has been mixed.
While Ne-Yo has openly embraced a polyamorous lifestyle, many online users were uncomfortable with the display. The comments section quickly filled with criticism.
One Instagram user, @lexizjinx, wrote, “We didn’t need to see this.” Another user, @iamshayshanae, questioned, “But would NEVER want their daughters to be like this…” Some others, like @iamcoachwise, called the moment “weird.”
Ne-Yo’s actions were compared to his past music, with one commenter noting, “This the same man that gave us ‘Miss Independent’ and ‘So Sick,’” while others speculated about his motivations.
Despite the negative reactions, Ne-Yo continues to live openly in his polyamorous relationships, though his choices remain a source of division.
This isn’t the first time Ne-Yo’s personal life has stirred controversy. Earlier, a photo of him surrounded by partners on a boat also went viral, fueling more discussions.
Ne-Yo’s complicated relationship history—including his marriage to Crystal Renay—continues to keep fans talking.
