The 'Let Me Love You' hitmaker has been forced to defend his sexuality numerous times, with many speculating that he is attracted to men, ever since he first stepped onto the music scene six years ago.
In a recent interview with Upscale, in which he graces the cover, the singer-songwriter opened up about how the rumours have affected him and plagued his career.
''That sh*t ate me alive…(I was) like where did that come from? Who are these people that have gone to such heights to try and make people believe this? They went all out with that story," Ne-Yo explained.
''I’ve never been the 'hey everybody, look at me!' dude and I’m not gonna start. If my music doesn’t do it for you, if it doesn’t get your attention, there’s 100 dudes out there that will do anything and everything so that you’ll look at them. I’m not that dude.''
This isn’t the first time the 32-year-old as addressed the gay rumours. Earlier last month, Ne-Yo hit out at his critics, saying:
''If that’s what y’all want to feel about me, by all means do so. Pay no attention to the fact that I got two kids and beautiful woman by my side…Buy the album though.''
