Gossip Bite: Neyo Stay’s Out Of The Drama

Don’t expect Ne-Yo to get in the middle of Chris Brown and Rihanna’s beatdown drama. According to Ne-Yo, Rihanna won’t be addressing the drama on any material he writes for her next album. He tells MTV,

“I’ve done some stuff for Rihanna’s [project]. I didn’t really want to go there too much, because I know that’s what everybody is expecting. I don’t think there isn’t a person alive that doesn’t know what happened and what it was. I don’t feel like it needs to be glorified. I don’t think that needs to be a song that’s sung or written. It’s sad that it took that happening to get the attention it deserves. Women get beat up all the time, and nobody says anything about it or chooses to do anything about it. But now that it happened to a celebrity, [it's], ‘Let’s talk about it on Oprah Winfrey.’ “

Since Chris and Ne-Yo are really good friends he doesn’t want to touch on the personal issues Rihanna has with him in her music because of their close friendship. He adds,

“Chris Brown is a friend of mine, and I don’t view him as a bad guy for what happened. It was an absolute mistake, and he has some lessons to learn and some maturing to do. But I’m not gonna bash him for that. I’m not gonna turn my back on a person I call my friend because he made a mistake. [So] I can’t write the Chris Brown bash song and then turn around and look myself in the mirror.”
