R&B star Ne-Yo has made it clear—he is unbothered by public criticism of his polyamorous relationship. After facing backlash for openly dating influencer Arielle Hill and two OnlyFans models, Phoenixx Feather and Bella, the "So Sick" singer responded with a simple yet defiant message: “Fun fact: I don’t care.”
Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, took to Instagram to shut down the negativity, posting a selfie in a black-and-white T-shirt with the same dismissive phrase. His post came after critics voiced their disapproval of his unconventional relationship dynamic.
The controversy surrounding Ne-Yo’s love life began in 2023, when he was first spotted on a beach in Los Angeles holding hands with Arielle and Bella. By the following year, he confirmed that he was also romantically involved with Phoenixx. Speaking on _Lemon Drop The Show_, he declared, “Monogamy is for you—it’s not for me.”
The singer, who finalized his divorce from Crystal Renay in 2023 after seven years of marriage, emphasized that his lifestyle choice is not a criticism of traditional relationships. "I’m not shaming marriage," he said. "I’m just living my truth."
Ne-Yo’s confidence in his decision highlights a broader conversation about modern relationships. As he put it, "As long as my happy ain’t messing with anybody else’s happy, I’m in the right place." Whether fans approve or not, Ne-Yo remains unapologetically himself, embracing love on his own terms.
