Ne-Yo denies criticising T.I.

Ne-Yo has spoken out about criticising T.I. being arrested last week on suspicion of being in possession of illegal drugs.

The rapper was then quoted as saying, "T.I. needs to sort out his life, as the arrest came just eight months after he was released from jail on weapons possession."

However, Ne-Yo has now set the record straight about exactly what he said, telling his fans 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."

He continued, "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. I ain't down talk nobody, I spoke my opinion because I was asked it. 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," Ne-Yo said.
