Ne-Yo's mother 'cried like a baby' after his Miss Independent revelation

Ne-Yo confirms he wrote Miss Independent about his mother

Ne-Yo’s mum was left “crying like a baby” when he told her he’d written his chart-topping song Miss Independent about her.

The singer topped charts worldwide back in 2008 when he released the tune, which has earned him millions of dollars, and admitted during an appearance on the Zach Sang Show that he penned it about his mum, Lorraine Smith.
