Ne-Yo is walking back his recent comments on gender identity.
“After much reflection, I’d like to express my deepest apologies to anyone that I may have hurt with my comments on parenting and gender identity,” he wrote in a statement shared to Twitter on Aug. 6. “I’ve always been an advocate for love and inclusivity in the LGBTQI+ community, so I understand how my comments could’ve been interpreted as insensitive and offensive.”
And the “Closer” singer acknowledged he has more to learn.
“Gender identity is nuanced and I can honestly admit that I plan to better educate myself on the topic, so I can approach future conversations with more empathy,” the Grammy winner added. “At the end of the day, I lead with love and support everyone’s freedom of expression and pursuit of happiness.”
The apology comes days after Ne-Yo made the remarks during an interview.
