Ne-Yo has taken back his apology to the LGBTQ+ community, as he doubled down on his criticism about gender-affirming healthcare.
The singer, 43, shared a video to Instagram on 7 August to retract his statement, in which he expressed his “deepest apologies” to the LGBTQ+ community, after he criticised parents who allowed their children to make “life-changing decisions” about their genders. The critcism first came from an interview with Vlad TV on 5 August, when he compared children exploring their gender identity to a situation where a child asked their parents for candy.
