Ne-Yo joined the trend of celebrities stopping by the “Bethenny” show, and the songwriter and R&B singer opened up about what it’s like to work with some of music’s biggest divas. When asked by the talk show host what it’s like to work with Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Rihanna behind the scenes, Ne-Yo didn’t hold back and dished his feelings. He revealed that Mariah has somewhat of a gangsta side despite being so prissy and glamorous. He also explained that as much as he loves Beyonce, her ability to seem perfect all the time kind of drives him nuts and he revealed that he’s extremely close to Rihanna. Here are the highlights of the interview.
On Mariah having a gangsta side:
“Mariah is very prim and very put together but if you cross her she will punch you in the face. She’s tough. Those pink kitten slippers will be in your mouth.”
On Beyonce being perfect and why it makes him envious at times:
“Beyonce is for lack of a better word is d*mn perfect and I hate her for it. But she’s a girl that can do everything. I really feel like if there was a bomb in the building, Beyonce would bust out of somewhere and defuse the bomb. That’s who Beyonce is. There’s nothing she can’t do.”
He even revealed that he feels the closest to Rihanna out of all the artists he’s worked with:
“Of everybody, I’m the closest to Rihanna. She’s like my little sister. She’s one of the few people on the face of the planet that can talk about the size of my head and get away with it.”
Check out the clip below:
That’s why Beyonce has so many haters. She can do just about everything and it makes them sick, LOL!
Pretty much.
I totally believe what he’s saying about Mariah. It just seems like she has a little hood in her. lol
Sounds about right. Mariah seems like she will get busy if she has too, but she’s still the queen of shade. Beyonce really can do just about everything and that’s why she’s where she is right now. And Rihanna probably is a really cool person most people in the industry get along with.
Aww I love it. Love my Bey. 🙂
Oh I peeped Mariah out a long time ago. LOL.
I think Beyonce has a little hood in her too but she knows how to keep it cute to protect her image. She’s from Houston…
Great bits of info on three legends.
