staging-rapup.kinsta.cloud recently caught up with Ne-Yo and asked him if he was working on Britney Spears’ new album Circus. The answer is no, but it’s what else he had to say that caught us off guard…

“I was working with Britney Spears for the last album [Blackout]. You know the whole drama about songs going to the Pussycat Dolls and Beyoncé and Rihanna and all of that. I ain’t heard from her people again and I know she’s back in the studio now, but I would work with her again if she wanted to. Like my door swings both ways. I ain’t got no beef with her, no drama or nothin’ like that, but I’m not about to call them like, ‘Hey, we should get together.’ I’m not about to do that.”
