Ne-Yo performs provocative aerial routine in Las Vegas

During a stop on the ‘Nights Like This Tour’ at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, singer Ne-Yo performed a provocative aerial choreography involving a backup dancer. The routine, which utilized a hanging-chain contraption to hoist the performers above the audience, included a simulation of oral sex.

Reports indicate that Ne-Yo’s mother, Loraine Smith, was present in the audience during the performance. The singer reportedly expressed nervousness regarding her presence, noting that it caused him to drop his microphone during the show.

Ne-Yo is currently co-headlining the 57-city tour with Akon. The tour is scheduled to continue through the Southwest and California following the Las Vegas engagement.
