Everybody thought it was going to be Lady GaGa, but where is she right now, what’s going on with her? ”Not to take anything away from her because she’s ridiculously talented, but artists who stand the test of time – you just don’t see those any more.’

He then took to his Twitter to denounce the interview:

It sounded pretty crazy that Ne-Yo would say something of the sort. But perhaps he really did, and just wants to cover for the backlash? Hmm!
