Ne-view Yo’s has evolved to the point that he now considers it offensive to criticize R. Kelly’s music.

R. Kelly has been fighting for his release from prison for a long time now. He learned his sentence for sex trafficking and racketeering late last month: 30 years in prison. Thousands of people, some in favor of him and some opposed to him, have voiced their opinion during the entire process. Nonetheless, one famous person appears to have altered their mind.

Ne-Yo, born Shaffer Chimere Smith, has a career spanning music, film, and television. When things started heating up for the “Bump n’ Grind” musician in 2019, Ne-Yo was adamant that R. Kelly be punished for his misdeeds. He uploaded a photo with the hashtag #MuteRKelly, which encouraged followers to avoid the singer’s songs.

Ne-Yo captioned the post, “There is NO excuse.”There is NO excuse. Music is important. It really is. But it’s not more important than protecting our children, protecting our little girls. PERIOD. #IHaveADaughter #TF!?? #MUTERKELLY.”

The 42-year-old creative person has apparently changed his mind. Ne-Yo addressed R. Kelly’s imprisonment in a recent interview with Independent. I figured it would be close to that in nature. He hoped that anyone who felt abused by him would find some solace in this.

But the musician can’t decide what to do with Kelly’s chart-topping albums. He went on to say, “I have always been a person that can separate the artist from the art,” he stated, “I don’t give a dmn about your personal life, I don’t give a dmn about what you’ve done wrong, or what you’ve done right.”

He recalled times when those around him would criticize R. Kelly’s music. To paraphrase: “I’ve been in parties where someone will turn on an R Kelly record, and people will be like ‘Boo!’ That’s bullsh*t because you know good and well that before this happened, you’d be rocking out to this song, just like everybody else,” said the “Miss Independent singer.

For his final point, he said that he still occasionally listens to the imprisoned musician and considers him to be one of the best songwriters of all time, despite his crimes.

ISTHATPORKS TAKE:

DOPE! Ne-YO is doing what we all should be doing in a life equation such as this. Don't let a black-hole eclipse the sun of an entire individual because of one situation. We should all be Adult enough or great enough or good enough to separate one situation from the next. Refreshing that Ne-YO got that memo. FOOD YEARS UP NE-YO! and pat yourself on the back. Doesn't it feel great to just be a good human in a World filled of bullshit?

After claiming that George Floyd’s death was the result of fentanyl rather than police brutality in Minneapolis, Kanye West has apologized to Floyd’s family.

As reported by Consequence, West apologized for the remarks while mobbed by paparazzi on Friday (October 28).

West expressed his discomfort, saying, ““When I see that video as a Black person, it hurts my feelings, and I know that police do attack [sic] and that America is generally racist. And I understand that when we got to say Black Lives Matter, the idea of it made us feel good together as a people. Now, afterwards there was some things where the money went in order to push us to the Democratic vote.”

Finally, West admitted that he feels bad about creating conspiracy theories surrounding Floyd’s murder because adidas severed their commercial ties with him.

Accordingly, “So when I questioned the death of George Floyd, it hurt my people,” he continued. “I want to apologize. Because God has showed me by what adidas is doing, by what the media is doing, I know what it feels to have a knee on my neck right now.

“So thank you God for humbling me and letting me know how it really felt. Because how could the richest Black men ever be humbled other than to be made to not be a billionaire in front of everyone off a comment.”

They sued him for $250 million on behalf of his daughter, who is the sole heir to Floyd’s fortune, after he made some contentious comments.

The rapper also doubled down on his anti-Semitic language during Friday’s impromptu news conference, adding, “the amount of Jews killed in Nazi Germany paled in compared to the number of Black people killed by abortion.”

His recent anti-Semitic comments have apparently cost him his coveted billionaire status, and as a result, several companies have severed connections with West. Among them is Adidas.

After a week of criticism, West returned to social media and released a text message from his lawyer, Quinn Emanuel, in which he was informed of his legal options with respect to adidas and Gap, from whom he had parted ways in September.

As for Adidas, the message said, “You may now begin creating new designs for footwear, clothes, and accessories.” The end date of your non-compete with Gap is December15, 2022. The Yeezy brand and its associated trademarks are your own.

Forbes estimates that his fortune has dropped from $1.9 billion to $400 million.

Will Smith claims that Floyd Mayweather checked in with him daily for ten days after he smacked Chris Rock at the Oscars to see how he was doing.

During a private showing of his new film “Emancipation” at The London hotel, Smith revealed… , and he seized the opportunity to thank TBE for being there for him in the presence of Floyd, even if at the time they weren’t exactly great friends.

On camera, Smith remarked, “I want to say something also about Floyd.” The footage was later shared on TMZ Sports. “So, we’ve met each other, we’ve seen each other around, but we weren’t like, friends.”

“And, the day after the Oscars, for 10 days he called me every day, And, he was like, ‘Ay, you know you the champ, right? You good? You know you the champ, right? I want you to hear my voice say it,'”

“That was every day he called me … and it’s like, that’s my dude forever right there.”

In light of Smith’s reluctance to discuss the slapping event since his only public statement on the matter came in the form of an apologetic video in July, hearing him describe the days immediately following the incident is very rare.

Mayweather, for his part, thought the movie was great.

A pivotal moment in history is beautifully depicted in “Emancipation. Floyd says, “I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.”

“Watching Emancipation film last night — the picture was nothing short of wonderful! The film hit so many elements of me as a black guy in America… Will Smith is outstanding!! Every frame was Art!!!!!,” Deon exclaims.
