Rapper Ne-Yo called out parents who let their children pick their gender, saying they have “almost forgotten” what their role is supposed to be.

The musician made the remarks during an appearance on VladTV with Gloria Velez when asked about transgenderism.

“Parents have almost forgotten what the role of a parent is,” he said. “It’s like, okay, if your little boy comes to you and says, ‘Daddy, I want to be a girl.’ And you just let him rock with that? You just let–, he’s five.”

“If you let this five-year-old boy decide to eat candy all day, he’s going to do that,” he continued. “Like when did it become a good idea to let a five-year-old, let a six-year-old, let a 12-year-old make a life-changing decision for they self? When did that happen? Like, I don’t understand that. I don’t get that.”

He said it was absurd that a young boy “can’t drive a car yet, but he can decide his sex?”

Ne-Yo said that if a boy tells his parents he wants to become a girl, his parents should ask him what a girl is.

“What is he gonna do? He’s gonna say well, he might want to play with dolls. All right, you want to play with dolls? Fine play with dolls but you’re a boy,” he said. “‘I wanna wear pink.’ All right cool, wear pink, but you’re a boy wearing pink.”

“I have no issue with the L-,B-,G-, I have no problem with none of y’all, with nobody,” he said. “I just personally come from an era where a man was a man and a woman was a woman. And it wasn’t but two genders and that’s just how I rocked it. Now you could identify as goldfish if you feel like it, that ain’t my business. It becomes my business when you try to make me play the game with you. I’m not going to call you a goldfish, but you want to be a goldfish you go be a goldfish. It’s just, we live in a weird time man.”

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.

X owner Elon Musk said on Saturday night that his company would go to bat for people who are punished by their employers for things they do on his social media platform.

“If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill,” Musk said. “No limit. Please let us know.”

Musk later added that his company would also wage a public relations war against companies that punish their employees for what they do on X.

Musk posted, “And we won’t just sue, it will be extremely loud and we will go after the boards of directors of the companies too.”

X filed a lawsuit last week against a non-profit organization accusing it of unlawfully accessing private data and cherry-picking posts to show a rise in hate speech on the social media platform under Musk’s ownership.

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the social media company formerly known as Twitter claims the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) — a British non-profit that researches so-called online hate and disinformation — orchestrated a “scare campaign to drive away advertisers from the X platform” by publishing so-called hate speech reports.

“CCDH has done this by engaging in a series of unlawful acts designed to improperly gain access to protected X Corp. data, needed by CCDH so that it could cherry-pick from the hundreds of millions of posts made each day on X and falsely claim it had statistical support showing the platform is overwhelmed with harmful content,” the lawsuit reads.

The complaint comes just hours after a letter from X attorney Alex Spiro threatening legal action against the non-profit organization made recent headlines.

Spiro reportedly wrote in the July 20 letter that the center made “a series of troubling and baseless claims that appear calculated to harm Twitter generally, and its digital advertising business specifically,” citing eight examples that X reportedly called “false, misleading or both” from improper research methods.
