Ne-Yo’s ex Monyetta Shaw-Carter claims they broke up because he wanted too many threesomes
Ne-Yo’s ex-fiancée became “Miss Independent” over fights about threesomes.
Monyetta Shaw-Carter claimed in a new interview that she and the singer broke up a decade ago because of how often he wanted to bring other sexual partners into their bedroom.
“We cheated together, if that makes sense,” she explained on “Haus of Aaron” Tuesday, holding up three fingers to clarify her meaning. “We did things together. It’s not cheating if you’re involved with it … and then it just wasn’t enough [for him].
“I was like, ‘Well, no, I didn’t sign up to do this every day.’ It became a problem when he wanted that a lot.”
The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, 43, noted that while she was happy to have ménages à trois with Ne-Yo, also 43, “maybe twice a year,” it ultimately became “too much.”
She explained, “I was like, ‘If you want that, then you don’t want me.’ I tried to keep it cute and spicy, but it wasn’t enough. But it is what it is.”
Page Six has reached out to Ne-Yo’s rep for comment.
The former couple were engaged from 2010 to 2013, calling it quits just two months ahead of their planned wedding.
Shaw-Carter and Ne-Yo now co-parent daughter Madilyn, 12, and son Mason, 11.
When asked whether she and her husband, Heath Carter, also engage in threesomes, the actress replied, “What do you mean? He sees me, and it feels amazing.”

Shaw-Carter and the businessman tied the knot in November 2021. Ne-Yo, for his part, wed Crystal Renay in 2016 and remarried her in 2022 after a brief split before divorcing in January.
He and the model, 36, share son Shaffer, 7, son Roman, 5, and daughter Isabella, 2. While they were married, the songwriter also welcomed Braiden and Brixton with Sadé Jenea.
Last month, Ne-Yo shared a rare photo of himself with all seven of his children, drawing comparisons to father of 12 Nick Cannon.
“I’m a FATHER before I’m anything else. Not money, not fame, not even the love of the craft. I do this for THEM. THEY are my reason,” he gushed in the July Instagram post. “I’m nowhere near perfect and that’s ok. My kids love me. And I’d die, kill, steal, whatever to make sure they never need for anything.”
After calling the little ones “the best thing [he’s] ever done,” the Grammy winner concluded, “I LOVE MY TRIBE!! I LOVE MY SQUAD!! AND I WILL FOR ALL OF THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT…AND THE NEXT!”
