Neyo's ex says he 'needs help' and apologises to his ex-wife ahead of Love Island debut

Neyo's complex love live is again back in the spotlight after his ex-girlfriend took to social media to say he “needs help”.

The latest scandal has erupted just as the singing superstar is set to appear on tonight's Love Island.

Neyo joins a host of stars who have entered the villa to entertain the islanders with some live music, including Craig David and Mabel.

However, for Neyo his own love life has been way more dramatic as the antics ITV2 fans have seen on screen during the last few weeks.

Last year his wife Crystal Renay accused him of being unfaithful multiple times throughout their marriage in a scathing non-holds barred social media attack.

Furious Crystal says she found out about their divorce from newspapers after he announced it on a podcast before telling her.

Now Neyo's ex girlfriend Sade Bagnerise has shared some intimate photos of the child she shares with the singer's birth as she apologised to Crystal for all the trouble she had caused.

Sade wants her to help set up an intervention because she claimed the Closer hit-maker needs support.

“I’ve privately apologized profusely to Crystal for my role, and she is such a strong, beautiful, FORGIVING woman….but I spoke to a woman who was so confused and broken. BETRAYED & misunderstood,” she wrote.

“She is hurting and healing and as hard as he tries to play tough guy he know he’s hurting deep down inside too. He needs help (love, support). It takes a village.

“I know y’all like to tussle in them comments, but just read and listen with your heart today, and not your fingers.

"The headline about me demanding child support was a reach, and I think y’all are hurting my baby daddy feelings, lol. He says he don’t care. But he do. We all care just a little.

“IN FAIRNESS TO HIM, in that regard, he has always been physically, financially, and emotionally responsible for both Braiden and Brixton from the moment he found out about the first pregnancy.

"He’s never denied or questioned either child, and we have DNA tests for both. […] The man is and always has been a proud pappy. He be scandalous AF lmao but he does right by all of his kids.”

Neyo and Sade have agreed to share joint legal custody of the child, she confirmed.

He and Crystal share sons Shaffer Chimere Smith Jr., 7, and Roman Alexander-Raj Smith, 5, and two-year-old daughter Isabella Rose Smith, together. The singer is also father to two more children from previous relationships.

Crystal herself put out a scathing Instagram post last year, 12 months on from the couple welcoming a third child together into the world.

The model and the Miss Independent singer tied the knot in 2016 but announced their split in February 2020 - only to reconcile later the same year and go on to renew their wedding vows with a Las Vegas ceremony earlier this year.

"8 years. 8 years of lies and deception. 8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and my husband with numerous women who sell their bodies to him unprotected…every last one of them!" Crystal wrote to her 653,000 Instagram followers on Sunday.

"To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is a understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. The mentality of a narcissist."

She continued: "I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t. I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect I gained 3 beautiful children out of this but nothing else but wasted years and heartache."

"I ask that you all please stop sending me videos and information of him cheating because what he does is no longer my concern. I am not a victim."

Crystal concluded her statement, which was captioned "God bless", writing: "I’m choosing to stand tall with my head held high. If someone can’t love you the way you deserve then it’s up to you to love yourself."

Ne-Yo took to his Twitter account to share a brief statement seemingly addressing his wife's post but refusing to go into further details.
