Ne-Yo Puts Britney on Blast

Posted Aug 29th 2007 12:14PM by TMZ Staff

This morning on On Air with Ryan Seacrest, R&B singer/songwriter Ne-Yo discussed what occurred in his failed working relationship with Britney Spears. Brit still works?
Ne-yo: Click to hear!
Ne-Yo explained that he wrote 6 to 8 songs intended for Spears, which she loved, but once she shaved her head and went into rehab, all contact was lost as Britz didn't return calls. In the meantime, Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger listened to the songs and purchased two of them. That's what we call a "jack move," folks! Ne-Yo now claims Brit-Brit is a little upset -- because he sold Nicole songs intended for her. Ya snooze, ya lose y'all!

Ne-Yo remained a gentleman during the entire interview and didn't take a few golden opportunities to trash the pop wreck -- even suggesting that a comeback is possible if she can separate her private and professional lives. No kidding!

1. Way to take the high road - good for you young brother! Looks like your mother did a good job raising you. Get paid!

2. Well her own fault for not keeping in contact. Hes got to make money and someone was ready to buy and Britney was to busy being a idiot so you snooze you loose.

3. #2, do you even know who this guy is? Perhaps a quick Google, he may not have Brit money, (hell, Brit keeps up her crap, she's not gonna have Brit money) but the guy is PAID. Ride her coat tails, me thinks not!

4. WOW... I just googled Levar Thomas and watched a couple of his original songs on YouTube and that guy is freaking AWESOME! Brit should most def contact Levar Thomas!

5. he thinks she will be better off separating her person and professional life, huh... isn't that what most people write and sing about... and i'm sure it's much easier said than done - people go through far less than what she is and it still affects their work product or attitude to some extent - there was no reason to even go there, but he did. he is well known, but i guess nowadays when they can get some press, "no comment" is just not used anymore..

6. in the know, you are dead wrong. If there WAS an actual contract in place Ne-Yo would have gotten paid.

If there was a contract in place and he didn't get paid, then it's Ne-Yo who could sue.

You may want to change your moniker to "not in the know".

12. THERE IS NO WAY NE-YO IS TELLING THE TRUTH

when you write songs & etc for people you have to sign a contract.

Something is not adding up. And I know Brit is a mess right now, but she's been in showbiz for a long time, she isn't dumb.

Anyway I'm sure she can make a comeback whether or not with Ne-Yo.

13. Ne-Yo is awesome! He does not need Britney or her money! He is a very talented person! Go Ne-Yo!!!

14. Good thing these songs will be sung by someone other than Brit. Everything she touches turns to "mold" these days anyway.
