While you may not hear from him often, he’s there. Singer, songwriter, etc., Ne-Yo has been low-key, but he’s been working hard. The ASCAP honoree gets a chance to talk to VIBE and he details all the upcoming Non-Fiction album, possible features, his favorite strip clubs, songwriting, performing and so much more.
Ne-Yo’s love for the strip clubs has been well documented, but which are the best ones to go to, according to the artist? Onyx in Atlanta, Diamonds of Atlanta and of course, the famed Magic City – just to name a few. “I go to Magic City from time to time, but I have the most fun at Onyx,” Ne-Yo says. “I’ve never been to any of the strip clubs in Houston, I’ve heard amazing things about them I just never been. Got to get out there one of these days.” Yeah, he love them strippers.

It’s not complete, however Non-Fiction album is sure to be a hit – with the latest single Money Can’t Buy featuring Young Jeezy. Ne-Yo assures. “I’m calling it that [Non-Fiction] because the name of every song on this album is derived from a true story. Now, some of the stories are mine,” he says. “Some of the stories belong to some of my fans. I actually reached out via Instagram, Twitter or whatever the case may be, and I’ve focused this on my fans.” True emotion! Those type of albums are the best.
We also hear of some possible great features.
Well, the first single, ‘Money Can’t Buy” features the boy Young Jeezy. I still don’t know exactly why it is that the collaborations with me and Jeezy work. I am the epitome of R&B and Jeezy is the epitome of street. That’s what he is, that’s what he do. But, for whatever reasons his tone and my tone together just makes sense. I got T.I. on the joint. I got the boy Juicy J on a couple records. I just wanted to reach out to people that I haven’t worked with before and see what happens. So, I reached out to a few people and of course the best ones are the ones that made the cut.
Sounds like things are in order on Ne-Yo’s side. We’ll be checking to see if any others will be added.
