The R&B musician Ne-Yo has caved to the LGBTQ cancel mob by apologizing for a recent interview during which he condemned parents who allow their children to become transgender.
Ne-Yo posted his groveling apology to social media on Sunday.
“After much reflection, I’d like to express my deepest apologies to anyone that I may have burt with my comments on parenting and gender ideology,” he said. “Gender ideology is nuanced and I can honestly admit that I plan to better educate myself on the topic, so that I can approach future conversations with more empathy.”

Ne-Yo made his original comments during a recent interview with Gloria Velez on VladTV.
“I feel like the parents have almost forgotten what the role of a parent is,” he said. “If your little boy comes up to you and says, ‘Daddy I wanna be a girl,’ you just let him rock with that?”
He continued: “Where did he get that? If you let this 5-year-old little boy eat candy all day, he’s gonna do that. Like, when did it become a good idea to let a 5-year-old, a 6-year-old, a 12-year-old make a life-changing decision?
“When did that happen? Like, I don’t understand that.”
He also reiterated the fact that there are only two genders — male and female.
Ne-Yo blasts parents who let their children believe that they can pick whatever gender they want to be: “I feel like the parents have almost forgotten what the role of a parent is.
