Ne-Yo Handles Stage-Crashing Fan Who Popped Up Mid-Performance
Recently, Ne-Yo hit the stage and was in his bag singing ‘Because Of You’ when a random man jumped right up there with him. Chile, the wild part? The guy even did a little shuffle and hit a one-two and threw his arms out like he expected a round of applause. But just as he looked for cheers, Ne-Yo grabbed him by the neck while security ran up to drag him off. Ne-Yo shared his thoughts on the incident in a post on his Instagram Story and straight-up called the man out for crashing his set. “This is what you DON’T do. I’m a gentleman but I WILL slap the s**t out of a person for disrespecting my stage.” Additionally, the singer warned future crashers that might try to hop onstage, writing, “Don’t try me. All love, til it’s not.”
Ne-Yo didn’t stop there. He continued to share his thoughts in another IG Story post saying that if the man had came at him differently, he wouldn’t have reacted with so much aggression. “Had he ran up with love I woulda let him rock for a minute…idiot. Don’t be this guy,” he added.
