Lol ne-yo saw this guy as competition. Nothing more nothing less. The fact that he is trying to say someone has no star appeal. Ne-yo when was your last Platinum album? 2006 or 2007. Ne-Yo isn't a star and this guy is a better singer than him. Ne-Yo has been out since 2004 or 2005 and has yet to become a household name. Its kind of like calling kettle calling the pot black
