Back in June, Nelly held his inaugural Hot In Herre Festival in Toronto, Canada, which saw appearances from Akon, T.I., Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Ja Rule, and more. During a performance by Ne-Yo, a fan took to the stage and — according to him — took his hat off during the performance. As can be seen in the video, the Las Vegas talent did not take the gesture well.
“Kai’s not a Ne-Yo fan. She know good and godd**n well she wasn’t supposed to grab my hat,” the singer stated during his set. “Kai, get your ass back over there!”
Following the brief tirade, he then motioned for the woman to leave the stage by extending his foot, after which she departed in swift fashion. While it isn’t known what took place following his performance, Ne-Yo‘s insistence on remaining with a hat on in public is more than well-documented.
Back in 2022, Ne-Yo liberated his ninth studio LP, Self Explanatory, a 13-song offering with appearances from Zae France, Jeremih, Trippie Redd, and Yung Bleu. The project both charted on the Billboard 200 and Billboard‘s Current Album Sales charts following its debut.
