As you've probably heard by now, singer Chris Brown has been accused of assaulting his girlfriend and fellow superstar, Rihanna this past weekend. Pretty big allegations that could land Brown in the slammer for 9 solid years.
The thing I wonder the most is this... was Ne-Yo licking his chops when he heard the news? Not that he wasn't sad for Rihanna, because domestic violence is a terrible, terrible thing. But in a small way, don't you think a little part of him was jumping for joy because he knows he gets to move up a rung on the R&B/Soul ladder?
I always felt like his fame got derailed by the emergence of Brown. They're basically the same dude in terms of type of song and general danciness (probably not a word, but I'm sticking with it). But poor Ne-Yo got brushed aside once Chris Brown hit puberty. Well, not so fast, music fans. There's a new sheriff in town. One that doesn't beat his gal pals (at least not that we know of).
