In a revealing interview, Ne-Yo claims that polygamy, a policy that permits someone to marry more than one person at a time, should be legalized. The country’s concept of polygamy has had a policy prohibiting it since 1882. He boldly stated,
“Honestly, I don’t need the government to tell me what I can and can’t do with my personal life. In the realm of love and romance, you should let people do whatever the hell they want to do. I can’t see how it’s hurting anybody.”
Even though alternative relationships, such as polyamory, seem to enjoy more and more acceptance each year, polygamy is still a taboo topic. It’s interesting to mention that polygamy is the least morally “acceptable” behavior, according to studies from public opinion. Maybe Ne-Yo’s confession will encourage people to discuss love and loyalty and debate the condition of society and its values.
Nonetheless, being the promoter of polygamy, Ne-Yo doesn’t seem to be ready to accept such “unhealthy” relationships. He mentions that his ladies comprehend that he does indeed adore everyone. Therefore, by uncovering the rationale for propagandizing the “troubles”, Ne-Yo ensures his tough advocacy of polygamy. Still and practice more permissive polyamory, for example, as my “throuple.”
Ne-Yo sparked a lot of conversation when he revealed his polyamorous relationship. The sentiment seems to be that, while people may agree or disagree with whether or not they’d be in one, they still have every right to develop whatever bond they please as long as it’s respectful, has boundaries, and is equitable. TMZ recently spoke to the R&B singer about his relationships and views on polygamy.
Public figures like The Game have supported Ne-Yo’s lifestyle choices. This broader cultural response might indicate a shift in societal norms and acceptance of alternative relationship styles.
