Talking about Show Me, Ne-Yo shared his mission to bring romance back to R&B. “I decided I’m gonna be the change I wanna see,” he said. “R&B is supposed to be about love, songs you can share with someone special.” Rickey joked that it’s the kind of song you’d dance to at your wedding — a true love anthem.

The conversation quickly shifted to Ne-Yo’s personal life, which has been making headlines. Gary didn’t hold back, asking how he juggles multiple relationships. Ne-Yo kept it candid: “The key ingredient is honesty. I don’t ask for exclusivity, but if someone offers it, that’s the agreement.” He admitted that being upfront has saved him a lot of heartbreak and headaches.
The crew had a blast teasing Ne-Yo, calling him a “living legend” and suggesting his birthday should be a national holiday for players everywhere. But Ne-Yo made it clear he’s not about manipulation — just living his truth. Even his kids know his situation, and he answers their questions with the same honesty he gives everyone else.
Shifting gears, Ne-Yo talked about his dream collaboration with Stevie Wonder, the only living artist from the five legends who shaped his musical style. “We gotta be in the studio together,” he said. “That’s a bucket list situation for me.”
He also shared his newfound love for golf, which inspired him to launch his own golf apparel line, Francis ci Lago. Ne-Yo is hosting his first annual golf tournament on April 28 at Eagles Landing Country Club in Atlanta, with proceeds supporting the Oasis Academy for Gifted Orphans.
Between his smooth new music, refreshing honesty, and dedication to giving back, Ne-Yo left the Rickey Smiley Morning Show crew — and listeners — both laughing and inspired.
