Ne-Yo Focuses On His Music

Here’s the latest for those who don’t know what’s sort of been going on between Ne-Yo and Yung Berg.

A few days back Ne-Yo did a guest appearance on the L.A. morning radio show “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” and Big asked him what person he would want to slap with three fingers. Ne-Yo’s response was Yung Berg. The reason he chose Yung was ” for not being creative and for biting T-Pain and Lil Wayne by using the Auto-Tune effect on his song The Business.”

Berg of course had to respond defending himself with a video blog, in which he questioned Ne-Yo’s sexuality and even referred to Ne-Yo as “Miss Independent.” Berg also wrote that Ne-Yo’s girlfriend wanted him.

Well …. Ne-Yo hadn’t read the blog but when he was asked about it last Wednesday night at Gotham Hall in Manhattan — before his big Hennessy Artistry party and concert, he had a laugh about it all. He said:

“Response for what? That ain’t my lane, dude. I don’t beef. I don’t do that. That ain’t my thing. I don’t do dis records. I don’t do beef. I don’t do any of that blogs talking about cats. I don’t do that. That ain’t my thing. I’m a grown man. I got money to make.

I can’t work with people that’s doing this for the fame element or the money element, I think that’s what’s destroying music. You got cats out here that are copycatting and doing stuff that’s popular. You know, doing it because that’s what’s in right now, whatever the case may be — but basically what you’re doing is killing music. You’re killing the creative element of what this is, which was the basis of this whole thing, which is self-expression.”

He will be writing for Usher’s new album, and Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson. So yeah… he’s got better things to do!
