A record written by R&B singer Ne-Yo for Latin sensation Shakira leaked on the internet last month, which stirred up some rumors about Ne-Yo's sexuality. "Forbidden Fruit," which was supposed to be a collaboration between the two stars, is said to have questionable lyrics from a male's perspective. Rap-Up.com spoke exclusively with the hitmaker who set the record straight: "I wrote that for her. She wound up not taking it. A lot of these songs that wind up on the Internet, people don't get the back story and then it just sounds weird. You have me singing a song and I'm saying ‘he' a lot, and nobody makes the assumption that I'm a songwriter and I do write songs for women every now and then. People don't gather that so then they go, ‘Oh, what is this? What is Ne-Yo doing? Is he trying to tell us something?' No, I'm not trying to tell you anything. You shouldn't have downloaded the song, pirates!" I guess he told you!
