By Ryan Love
Ne-Yo has sent a series of tweets denying suggestions that he is gay.
One US gossip website ran a story claiming that Caitlyn Jenner had inspired the ” singer to discuss his sexuality.
However, in a series of tweets, NeYo dismissed the report, telling fans that they should “all know by now not to believe everything you read”.
He added: “Much luv to #CaitlynJenner but I’m not on that team. Not gay folks. So sorry.”
In a second message, he wrote: “No disrespect to the gay community or to #CaitlynJenner by the way. Live your life and be proud. I’m just not gay. We’re still on this? #sad (Sic)”
One user tweeted the singer a picture of two older images, writing: “We want answers”. He responded: “You want answers? Bad pics taken because I listened to photographers I shouldn’t have. Soooo bad pictures make me gay?”
