R&B Star NE-YO Pushes Fan Off Stage During Japan Concert

In a recent incident, R&B superstar NE-YO, 45, pushed a fan off the stage during his concert at the Glion Arena Kobe in Kobe, Japan. The event occurred on September 27, 2025, as NE-YO was performing his 2007 hit "Because of You."

According to video footage, a fan in a white T-shirt danced up the stairs to the stage and stood in front of NE-YO with his arms outstretched. The "Closer" artist then lowered his microphone and forcefully pushed the fan out of the way, continuing to sing the song.

Addressing the incident on his Instagram Stories, NE-YO wrote, "This is what you DON'T do. I'm a gentleman but I WILL slap the s-- out of a person disrespecting my stage." He added, "Don't try me. All love, til it's not."

This outburst comes just weeks after NE-YO opened up about his "phenomenal" love life, revealing he is in a polyamorous relationship with "four beautiful ladies" who travel with him regularly. The singer, who divorced his wife Crystal Renay in 2022, stated he is not legally married to the four women but considers them his "wives."

"At this point in my life, everything I do is about what's best for me, what's best for my kids, what's best for my tribe. That's it," NE-YO said during a recent interview.
