While his sons’ mother chewed him up online, Ne-Yo recently ate a performance for ‘Tiny Desk Concerts!’
Ne-Yo Pulled Up To NPR & Showed Out
The ‘Miss Independent’ singer pulled up to the scene in a full cream-colored ‘fit and the iconic titled hat! His band of Black musicians also rocked the same color wave.
To keep it to the point, the mics, instruments, and speakers were ON across the board! The three-time Grammy winner even had a harpist in the studio.
Ne-Yo performed nostalgic hits like ‘Because of You’ and ‘So Sick.’ He also paid ode to his pen game with tracks like Rihanna’s ‘Take A Bow,’ Mario’s ‘Let Me Love You,’ and Beyoncé’s ‘Irreplaceable.’

Before His ‘Tiny Desk’ Performance THIS Happened
The 23-minute performance video dropped on Friday (August 26), less than 24 hours after a video surfaced of Sade Bagernise accusing him of hosting “freak-off” parties while their kids were in his care. “Diddy Jr.” is what she called him in a video going IN about his alleged habits.
Sade later apologized but by that point, Ne-Yo’s ex-wife Crystal Smith had also seemingly weighed in with a message about growth.

Now, it kind of makes sense why Ne-Yo was paying the accusations to dust online. We’ve seen him respond in the past to viral critiques about his ‘me-plus-two’ lifestyle.
But since Sade’s allegations and follow-up posts, he’s only posted about his music. His first Instagram feed post since April 14 is a promotional clip of his NPR ‘Tiny Desk performance.
