Ne-Yo has been regarded as a prominent figure in 2000s R&B music and has won three Grammys for his work. After his divorce from Crystal Renay Williams in 2023, the singer embraced a polyamorous lifestyle. His ex-wife had accused him of infidelity and fathering a child outside of their marriage.

During his appearance on Lemon Drop The Show in November 2024, Ne-Yo opened up about how he hadn't been living his truth for a long time, seemingly referring to his previous relationship. The singer said that now that he was living his truth, he was in a great space emotionally and mentally. Additionally, Shaffer Smith put forth his views on monogamy and mentioned:

"Society tells you that you’re supposed to be with one person. You get married, and y’all supposed to be together forever. […] Monogamy’s for you? It’s not for me. I know this now, and it’s like a weight lifted off my shoulders.”

Ne-Yo added that he had spent a lot of time lying and trying to be somebody he wasn't for the sake of someone else. According to him, it was a "complete and utter time wasted." The Grammy-winning singer mentioned that he doesn't have to lie anymore and that he'd be damned if he ever had to go back to being that person.

According to a report by PEOPLE dated July 2022, Ne-Yo's ex-wife Crystal Renay took to Instagram to accuse the singer of infidelity. Sharing her claims, Renay mentioned:

"8 years. 8 years of lies and deception. 8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and my husband with numerous women who sell their bodies to him unprotected…every last one of them!"
