"I am 30 and I do have my first child on the way, and I am very, very, very excited about that," Ne-Yo says, joking that his firstborn will be "stubborn."

His girlfriend, actress Monyetta Shaw, is due to give birth in early 2011.

"It's a New Year's baby," Ne-Yo -- whose new album is set for Sept. 21 release -- tells the magazine. "I'm just in a really good place right now."

    I think that Ne-Yo, would make a wonderful father. He is ready for the challenge and involved in the process. He is a nice guy; a joy to watch and takes pride in him self. I just have to tell my young daughter, she loves him. Good For You, Ne-Yo- Blessing to you. Debra and Nicole(your biggest fan).

    Lawkw-Your comment is extremely offensive, as I'm sure you're aware. Racist, stereotypical, and ignorant. Get a life and stop judging others as I'm sure that you're far from perfect if you're writing crap like that.

  • June 25, 2010 - 8:48pm Hello, lawkw

    It would be nice if couple's would married 1st, then have a child. You're right. Statistically Afr.-Amer. do tend to have more children out of wedlock & it would be great if that would change. In the meantime, I'd appreciate if you wouldn't generalize people though. Today my parents are celebrating their Anniversary, ironically. All I'm suggesting is that u think b'fore u write such things. Everyone has feelings & I'm hoping u wouldn't want to intentionally offend anyone. Thank u.

    Hes almost to gay to function.

  • June 25, 2010 - 6:56pm Jon

    Yes, Ne-Yo will make a good Father, congratulations!

  • June 25, 2010 - 6:47pm lawkw

  • June 25, 2010 - 6:28pm LoveCrazyBeautifulLife

    I'm sure he'll be a good father. Good luck!

    Ne Yo will make a terrible father. He oppressed and repressed and together, it's just a terrible combination.

  • June 25, 2010 - 5:11pm Parisite Hilton

    No that son ended up not being his. I always thought Neyo was gay well Im sure the guy who he hooked up with sucked his d!ck and not the other way around.
