The Grammy-winning singer arrived at his Kenyan concert alongside two of his three girlfriends, Arielle Hill, known by the nickname Twin Flame, and Moneii, who goes by Phoenix Feather, giving fans an up-close look at his much-discussed polyamorous lifestyle.
His third girlfriend, Cristina, nicknamed Pretty Baby, was not present at the event.
Is Ne-Yo in a polygamous relationship?
The singer, whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, has been open about embracing a consensual polyamorous arrangement following his highly publicised 2023 divorce from Crystal Renay.

He initially grabbed global attention after introducing four women he called his Pyramid, though the group has since settled into its current three-woman configuration.
Ne-Yo has been candid in interviews about how the arrangement works, describing it as one relationship involving three women rather than three separate romantic connections.
He has explained that his partners choose to be exclusive to him, while he does not hold himself to the same standard. He has also maintained that any of the women is free to walk away at any time.
The three women live separately but close to one another, reportedly rotating one-on-one time with the singer, including during his touring schedule.
For milestone occasions like Valentine's Day, group outings are on the table, while individual gifts tailored to each woman's preferences are also part of the routine.
The singer, who has seven children from previous relationships, has said he introduced his partners to his kids and explained the nature of the arrangement to them directly.
He has previously defended the lifestyle publicly, saying it is built on open communication and the women's informed choice, even as it has drawn a steady mix of support and criticism online.
