Ne-Yo Claps Back at Critics of His Polyamorous Love Life with Three Women

Ne-Yo is so sick of criticism over his love life.

The singer known as “Miss Independent,” whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, responded after receiving criticism for being in a relationship with influencer Arielle Hill and two women on social media who are also Only Fans models, identified as Phoenixx Feather and Bella.

On a February 20 Instagram Story, Ne-Yo playfully poked fun at those who disapprove of his polyamorous relationship by saying, “Critics: ‘Ne-Yo, we don’t support your multiple relationships.’

In response to his critics, the artist behind “So Sick” posted a selfie alongside the caption, “Here’s an interesting tidbit: I really couldn’t care less.” (This version maintains the original meaning while using simpler and more conversational language.)

To complete his response, the 45-year-old displayed a broad smile towards the camera, showing that he remains unfazed by the negativity.

2023 marked the end of my marriage with Crystal Renay after seven beautiful yet challenging years together. However, whispers about a new chapter in my life began circulating that very summer when pictures emerged of me strolling hand-in-hand with Arielle and Bella on a sunny Los Angeles beach. The ensuing year brought clarity, as I openly admitted to nurturing relationships with both these extraordinary women, along with the captivating Phoenixx.

During his interview on Lemon Drop The Show on November 14, Ne-Yo expressed that monogamy is something he encourages for others, but it’s not his personal choice.

The singer known for “Because of You” clarified that his personal preference towards non-monogamy was not intended as a critique of those who prefer monogamous relationships, as he is a father to seven children in total, with four from previous relationships and three with Crystal.

He clarified, “I’m not undermining the institution of marriage. I respect and admire those who have found a way to make it successful. Not everyone is cut out for everything.

In addition, he admitted to having been monogamous in the past, but Ne-Yo underlined the authenticity he experiences when associating with several women instead.

He expressed, “So far as my joy doesn’t interfere with anyone else’s happiness, I find myself in the right spot.” He added, “I swear I will never return to being the person who felt compelled to lie just to please someone else. I am beyond that now.

Besides Ne-Yo, Phoenixx is another individual who publicly supports and justifies their polygamous relationship. They have shared reasons as to why this setup suits them well.

As much as we’re under the spotlight, we anticipate the public’s feedback – after all, that’s part of the game. But here’s the thing, folks, we’ve got a strong bond that goes beyond what most can comprehend. We get each other in a way that only four individuals can when they stand on the same solid foundation. And remember, it’s US against the world – everyone else is just spectators.
