Ne-Yo’s Polyamorous Lifestyle Sparks Major Backlash from Baby Mama Sade Bagnerise
Oof, the drama surrounding singer Ne-Yo and Sade Bagnerise just hit a boiling point! Sade, one of Ne-Yo’s exes and mother to his children, threw major shade at him over his decision to expose their kids to his so-called polyamorous lifestyle—or should we say “open relationship”? Yep, it all went down on Instagram after Ne-Yo’s recent appearance on the ‘Ricky Smiley Morning Show,’ where he nonchalantly informed listeners that he openly explains his multiple girlfriends to his kids. I mean, talk about TMI for the little ones, right?
During the show, Ne-Yo proudly stated that his kids know all about his different relationships, even describing how they would be taken care of by these women because “it’s family, it’s community.” Sade Bagnerise, however, was NOT having it. She quickly took to Instagram, calling him out for dragging their children into what she labeled as “cornball” behavior. Sade didn’t hold back, saying in her Instagram stories, “Didn’t tell your corny a** not to have that s**t going on in front of my kids.” Rips like that, coming from a mother, can hit hard.
The tension escalated further when Sade challenged Ne-Yo’s version of polyamory, stating that his arrangement is more of an “open relationship” rather than a legitimate poly setup. “Poly relationships aren’t 5 plus gfs they party with u every night. You’re a wanna be boyfriend pimp,” she fired off, making a valid point that has been echoed by relationship experts suggesting that true polyamory involves deeper emotional connections rather than just casual dating.
This heated exchange went down shortly after Ne-Yo added a fourth girlfriend to his lineup, which has been the talk of the town recently. Rumors about his most recent partner, Bri, have been swirling since late last year, following steamy social media posts that showcased the two getting cozy. It’s no wonder Sade feels some type of way given that this whole love-is-in-the-air situation is spilling over into their kids’ lives.
At the end of the day, as Ne-Yo continues to navigate his complicated love life, let’s hope that he takes Sade’s passionate pleas to heart. After all, blending family dynamics with an unconventional lifestyle is no easy feat!
