Ne-Yo opens up about one-sided polyamorous relationship

Ne-Yo has made an eyebrow-raising confession about his polyamorous relationship.

The 45-year-old singer, whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, stunned fans last month when he announced he is dating four women - Cristina, Arielle, Moneii and Bri.

The chart-topping star has posed proudly alongside his collection of girlfriends on social media, and now he has revealed that while he is allowed to date multiple women, they are not dating multiple men.

Appearing on the Angie Martinez Show on Thursday, Ne-Yo was asked if his girlfriends were allowed to date other men, and he replied, "No, no they are not."

He continued, "When I got with these women, I did not ask for their exclusivity. I did not demand their exclusivity. They asked for it. They came to me and said, 'I want to be exclusive to you and just you.'

"I said, 'You understand that your exclusivity to me, does not mean my exclusivity to you? You understand this, yes? You're Ok with it?'"

With the women seemingly on board with this agreement, Ne-Yo went on to reveal that the secret to their successful group relationship is being honest with each other.

He said, "The main rule is to just keep it a buck. We're not gonna lie. We're not gonna lie to each other. We're not gonna sit up here and blow smoke. I ain't selling no dreams, and I'm not forcing anybody to be here."

The dad-of-seven added, "If for whatever reason you decide this isn't for you anymore, the door is never locked.

"You have permission to go on about your business. I don't want anybody to think that I'm manipulating these women into doing something they don't want to do."
