Ne-Yo Takes Back Apology For Comments About Parents Supporting Their Transgender Children

As Blavity previously reported, Smith shared his opinions on parents helping their transgender children get gender-affirming care during his appearance on VladTV on Saturday. He had a lot to say on the topic, noting that he believes parents have “forgotten” what role they play in their children’s lives.
“I just personally come from an era where a man was a man and a woman was a woman,” the 43-year-old told interviewer Gloria Velez, Billboard reported. “And there was two genders, and that’s just how I rocked. You could identify as a goldfish if you feel like, I don’t care. That ain’t my business. It becomes my business when you try to make me play the game with you. I’m not gonna call you a goldfish. But if you wanna be a goldfish, you go be a goldfish. We live in a weird time, man. We do.”
