"Brand and legacy is dead": Internet reacts as Ne-Yo claims his four girlfriends can't date other men and he's "head of this household"

Ne-Yo has been open with his fans about his polyamorous relationship over the past few months. During an interview with Angie Martinez Studio, the topic of his relationships came up again. At the moment, Ne-Yo, or Shaffer Chimere Smith, has four girlfriends at the moment. They are Arielle, Cristina, Moneii, and Brionna.

During the interview, Ne-Yo addressed one of the most asked question, according to him. He said,

"The question I get asked the most is, 'Are they allowed to date outside of me?' That's the question I get all the damn time, and I'm answering it right now: no. And imma tell you why. No, they are not. Here's the thing. When I got with these women, I did not ask for their exclusivity, I did not demand their exclusivity, they offered it. They came to me and said, "I wanna be exclusive to you and just you.'" - Neyo clarified.

The Art of Dialogue posted the clip from the interview on their X account, and netizens had a lot to say about it. One user commented:

"Brand and legacy is dead" - @chisoltd stated.

How did netizens react to Ne-Yo's statement saying his girlfriends cannot date other men and that he is the head of the house?

The majority of the comments on the Art of Dialogue post featuring Ne-Yo saying that his four girlfriends cannot date other men were received with a mix of humor and disbelief. Users were amused by the audacity of the statement, and some were even questioning the logic behind it.

Have a look at some of the reactions from netizens on Ne-Yo's interview with Angie Martinez Radio.

One user pointed out the hypocrisy by mentioning the late founder of Playboy magazine, Hugh Hefner. They wrote:

"The playboy guy did exactly the same thing but people cheered him... Is there an underbelly?...." - @GermainOfficial asked.

Another netizen left a lengthy comment on the post. It reads:

"Why is he explaining this to the world? None of those women are prisoners. They can leave at any time. They stay because women will do almost anything for money and high status men. I will say that in 2025 this is VERY risky." - @AI8MyJob wrote.

@AI8MyJob also added:

"How easy would it be for the women to get together and say he mind controlled them and he should go to jail and they should get all his money. I'm sure it's fun but I don't see how it's worth the risk".

Not everyone is against Ne-Yo's choice of lifestyle. One user commented:

"Say what you want about him but he’s not doing anything crazy or abusive. MANY people live this lifestyle & yes, it works for them. Just because its not conventional doesn’t make it a bad or “weird” situation. Its just an alternative lifestyle & it honestly sounds more solid than most people in a relationship with ONE person! 😅 He respects them & they respect him. They communicate & everything is on the table so people having an issue with this is funny AF lol " - @MadScientistZa expressed.

Another added:

"I appreciate NeYo for making this a normal conversation 🙌🏽" - @DaSportsShow wrote.

Ne-Yo has made it clear during the Angie Martinez Radio interview that none of the women are held against their will in the relationship. He retains the position as "head of the household," and what he says goes. However, in case any of the four women refuse to accept what the Miss Independent singer has decided, they are free to leave.
