- Hip-hop star Ne-Yo, known for songs like Give me everything, has named his five-month-old son Mason Evan and said he thoughtfully selected the name for his second child.
- In addition to Mason, Ne-Yo and girlfriend Monyetta Shaw are also parents to daughter Madilyn Grace, who is 16 months old, reported People magazine.
- "We needed him (Mason) to have a name that felt like a gentleman, like somebody you have to respect, Mason Evan Smith, you have to respect that name. I am not going to be that dude that predestines my children's future, I am just going to do my best so that my daughter doesn't end up on a pole and my son doesn't end up on the corner. And whatever they do outside of that is pretty much their decision," he said.
- The singer also said that it is difficult to work full-time with two kids at home.
- "I missed Madilyn's first words, I got to say the best thing about having two kids is just having two kids," he added.
