Ne-Yo has found himself in hot water with his fans after posting a Mother’s Day tribute to the ladies in his life who are the caregivers to his six children.
On Mother’s Day, which was Sunday (May 14), the R&B crooner took to Instagram to celebrate his mother, sister, and the three mothers of his children, including Monyetta Shaw, Crystal Renay, and Sade Jenea.

Under the slideshow, which featured a photo of each woman, many fans felt it was classless to include his ex-wife and the woman he allegedly cheated on her with in the same post.
“NeYo I know you have more common sense then this now!!! So disrespectful!!” one fan wrote, while another said: “This post would piss me off so bad smh cause ain’t no way you put me on the same slide with that woman you cheated and had a family on me with. Im sure his intentions were ok but aht aht.”

Someone else called him out by writing: “It’s the audacity to post all the baby moms in one post that’s absolutely absurd.”

Meanwhile, Ne-Yo recently slapped his ex-girlfriend with a demand for a DNA test and court-mandated child support, claiming that he’s unsure of the paternity of at least one of his children.
Court documents obtained by Radar Online reveal that the “Miss Independent” singer (real name Shaffer Smith) filed a petition against his ex, Sade Bagnerise, with whom he allegedly shares two children.

According to the documents, Ne-Yo confirmed that he’s the biological father of the older child, Braiden Bagnerise, but has questions about the younger child, Brixton. Therefore, he demanded a DNA test to establish paternity.
He also made demands for joint custody and a “liberal parenting schedule,” claiming that both are in the best interests of the children, and he wants Braiden to take his last name.

However, the 43-year-old has not stated whether he wants Brixton to take his last name as well, or if the name change will be demanded after the results of the paternity test for Brixton establish him as the father.
Ne-Yo’s relationship woes began last summer when his then-wife Crystal Renay filed for divorce after learning he fathered a child outside of their relationship.
According to TMZ, Renay filed the paperwork at an Atlanta courthouse saying their marriage was “irretrievably broken with no hope for reconciliation.”
She also aired out her issues with Ne-Yo in a since-deleted Instagram post during that time.

“8 years of lies and deception. 8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and husband with numerous of women who sell their bodies to him unprotected… every last one of them!” she wrote.
“To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is an understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. The mentality of a narcissist.

“I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t. I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect.”
In February 2023, Ne-Yo and Crystal Renay’s divorce was finalized, with the singer ending up having to cough up nearly $2 million.
