Ne-Yo denies T.I. Twitter attack

Ne-Yo has responded to reports that he slammed T.I. for being arrested earlier this week.

The R&B singer has insisted that he did not have any intention of speaking ill of the rapper and only meant to offer his opinion on the matter.

Ne-Yo wrote on Twitter: "Ok folks, I ain't even see what they're claiming I said but in the everybody's so mad, I'm sure they misquoted me. So from the horses mouth, HERE'S what I said about the T.I.’s situation… I said that T.I. is one of the smartest people in the game, but sometimes the people surrounding you, get you in more trouble than you yourself do (sic).

"I ain't down talk nobody, I spoke my opinion because I was asked it. Half of y'all speak your opinion whether somebody asks you or not! I got no beef wit T.I. or his team. That ain't my s**t to beef with people over nothing. If T.I. or any of his people want to sit down like men and discuss it, I'm down.

"Much love to the people that support T.I. S**t I'M A SUPPORTER of T.I., so I understand your anger. But from now on, if you want to know if I said something, the internet ain't the proper source. Hit me up on here and ask before you assume."

He added: "I got nothing to hide, and you already see that I'll answer whatever. No drama or beef on my end. Nuff said."
