When Ne-Yo debuted, Usher had a strong hold on the game. During the summer of 2004, Usher established himself as a powerful force in the music industry. As he was the “undisputed king of R&B,” Usher had many singers gunning for that spot.
Ne-Yo came out and immediately began posting hits. Because of that, he and Usher were immediately pit against each other. The early battle was won by Ne-Yo, seeing how Usher was in the middle of a four year hiatus, at the time.
Recently, Ne-Yo stopped by Hot 97, talking to Nessa about some of everything. With all the backlash he gets about Monyetta Shaw, Ne-Yo discussed his first marriage. He also spoke about his current wife, their impending child, and being compared to other singers, Usher included.
