Ne-Yo is making his voice heard, just two days after T.I., real name Clifford Harris Jr., and his wife Tameka Cottle were arrested on drug charges, Ne-Yo has weighed in with his opinion.
I just feel that he makes a lot of poor decisions when it comes to the people that he surrounds himself with,” Ne-Yo shared with the Associated Press on Thursday. He continued, Nine times out of 10 when [T.I.] gets in trouble, it’s not him, it’s the people that he’s with.
T.I. was on three years probation in a previous weapons case, for which he served a seven-month jail term, when the arrest occurred.

“Mornin’ NY!!! Studio with Mary J Blige last night, Beyonce tonight,” he wrote on Monday.
He then tweeted
Shout out to Beyonce and Shae Taylor for helping me remember who I am. Much needed pep talk. Thanx for being real guys.”
While he didn’t offer any tidbits about the track they were laying down this week in New York, he did tell the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that it will put her Beyoncé on a different level.
It’s another direction for her, and she’s carving out her own niche,” he said. “In a minute nobody will be in Beyonce’s lane. They really can’t get in her lane now, but they really can’t get in her lane after this album.”

“I don’t know how I’ll feel when I hear it…It will be weird but I guess it will be like when Keisha would have listened to the stuff I re-recorded.”
