It looks like Ne-Yo may be treading on dangerous territory with his upcoming fifth studio album. The multi-platinum singer-songwriter revealed that he’s officially changed the name of his next album from The Cracks in Mr. Perfect to The R.E.D. Album.
If the title strikes some as familiar, that’s because Compton rapper Game released his long awaited fourth studio LP this past summer with the same name. But according to recent interview with Hip Hop Hollywood, Ne-Yo says that the full title of his R.E.D. Album is Realizing Every Dream.
“We changed [the title] – the new and official title is The R.E.D. Album, and ‘R.E.D.‘ is an acronym for ‘Realizing Every Dream,'” he explained. “The last couple of years, I’ve taken a little bit of time to step back and just look at everything that’s happened in my life and everything that’s going on right now, and I made the realization that I’m absolutely doing it – I’m realizing every dream that I’ve ever had. I’m blessed, and not a lot of people can say that. So this album is celebrating the mature dreams, the immature dreams, just every dream that I’ve ever had and how I am slowly, maturely realizing every single one.”

Why everybody gotta name their album with an acronym? It’s getting played out FAST
you must be like 12, bc it’s been a norm in hip hop for a really long ass time. step your mind game up.
IS THIS NIGGA RETARDED?
not a good look
CLOWN ASS NIGGA
lol neyo is gay af
This n*gga’s a joke, he a pussy.
I think we’ve had quite enough acronyms. When artists start biting titles off each other, it’s time to retire the concept.
I smell a 600 bars coming soon…
People are running so low on creativity now that they have to jack shit from mediocre albums that arent even 5 years old yet, lol
lmao wtf
even the R.E.D. Album name to begin w/ was a bit meh
smh @ dis nigga
lol no respect
Who is “we”? You mean he talked it over with someone else, and they thought it was a good idea too?!
This nigga really wants to get killed by Game…
Ne-yo=Donatello. Jadakiss=Raphael. Who else in the game looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle??
No clue but that UFC fighter, BJ Penn, kinda looks like a ninja turtle.
Jeezy looks like a turtle. Michaelangelo maybe??
nah bruh you got it all wrong
mike jones – donatello, jeezy – raphael, jadakiss – leonardo, and I’ll get back to you on michael angelo.. matter of fact yeah neyo can be mike since he seems super goofy
I would switch Mike Jones to Michaelangelo and Ne-Yo as Donatello. Mike Jones seems more like a goofball and Ne-yo is more intelligent.
This stealing ass FAGGOT. He knows he stole it….He just feels he can get away with it because he thinks Game is a lesser known artist
This isn’t even a common or clever album title. I don’t know what’s going on with this dude but he knows what he’s doing because Game isn’t obscure, and his last LP did have mainstream hype, singles, features, and recognition even if the end product was mediocre, front-loaded, and diluted. It would be like Rick Ross titling his album “The Doggfather” and acting like he invented it.
Game dont care about this lol He worked wit game before on a couple of tracks im pretty sure Game dgaf
LOL neyo trolling game
*dead* bet he’ll still sell more than game
Uhuh Ne-Yo , you want get killed by me ?
Ne-Yo’s next album is gonna be called The Blueprint.
Corny. Jay already did that to KRS-One
And KRS praised him for that.
u know better than that, NeYo
While he’s at it biting rap titles, he should name his next joint “welcome to the tera-dome” this nucca’s dome looks like a landing pad…
My next 1000 bars song will be against Ne Yo, and Dr Dre
bet a million it wont get released as that!
Basically I’m hoping that people will think it’s Game’s album, and accidentally buy mine.
R.E.D. was a great album but it flopped…Ne-Yo’s will probly sell more
that’s actually kinda a good plan
game wont diss him. game only disses random people like the bipolar homo he is. having beef with people over actual reasons is not his steelo.
NE-YO WILL ETHER EVERY RAPPER IN THE GAME! NE-YO WILL ETHER EMINEM TUPAC NAS JAY Z TOGETHER
FUCK NEYO
can’t believe bitch ass niggas hatin on Game when Ne-Yo is clearly makin a bitch move…smh fuck y’all n FUCK Ne-Yo
We hatin’ on Game because his stupid ass can’t even get a simple ass, 4 letter acronym right.
NE YO “MY NEXT ALBUM GOING TO BE CALLED CARTER 2” WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS NIGGA
Neyo’s next album is gonna be called STILLMATIC! Hahahahaha!!!!
Last week commentators were cosigning Rozay using Ricky Ross’ name, this week commentators are up in arms about Ne-Yo using a title from Game’s recent album.
Should just call the album Dreams. It would sound better.
LMAO. Even R&B artists shit on Game, dude gets no respect from nobody.

Neyo stop making excuses.
The title album ( R.E.D ) represents 1 thing for 1 album that has been claimed by someone don’t go steal it from people.
You low miserable idiot..
BWSMG.. yeeaaaaa buddy !
Game all the way !
Call it “realizing every dream” then ne-yo, stop swagga jackin
I bet you after that he’s gonna release an album called Tha Carter V and will create a fucked up acronym for that.
Hey Ne-Yo, now that you’re trolling Game you should troll some other bitch ass niggas as well, like Drake, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, J. Cole or Diggy.
stop being wankers ne yo is one of the most talented singers on the planet and you low life scum will never be a thenth as good at he is at anything so do one i mean loads of albums have the same name because there are loads of artists and not so many great words and both albums are about comletely different things so why dont you all just die in a ditch
