*Remember a few days ago when we reported that Ne-Yo‘s wife, Crystal Smith, pissed people off with her comments about their son’s hair? She says it’s because … wait for it .. because some folks still don’t like seeing mixed-race couples?
Huh?!
Well, TMZ caught up to Mrs. Smith on Tuesday at LAX and asked her to weigh in on the backlash she received for saying her kid wasn’t blessed with her “Hawaiian silky” hair.
OK, here’s the deal. Crystal seems to think the real reason so many social media users sounded off is ’cause a lot of them don’t like when black men date outside their race, even though Crystal’s part black.
However, the point is probably moot, though. Crystal says she’ll do whatever she feels is best for her child, regardless of what others think. She’s also making a business move that was inspired by the situation.

Ne-Yo’s Gender Reveal Party “Prince or Princess?”
In other Smith family news, there’s about to be another addition to the clan. Read on for the deets.
Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Smith, joined his wife Crystal to host a royal-themed gender reveal party in Los Angeles on Saturday, held in honor of their second child on the way.
According to People.com, the big reveal followed an evening of elegant desserts, as partygoers — including the couple’s 22-month-old son Shaffer Chimere Jr. — gathered on the rooftop to shoot off powder guns to reveal a blue hue, meaning a baby boy.
Via People:
The couple wanted the event to be focused on giving back, asking attendees to bring a gift for a mom or baby who is part of Jenesse Center, Inc., a domestic violence intervention program based in Los Angeles.
Also invited to the “Prince or Princess?”-themed bash? The first 100 guests who messaged the mom-to-be on Instagram, and were asked to make a donation to the Jenesse Center.
People confirmed in October that NE-YO, 38, and his wife of almost two years are expecting their second bundle of joy together. The singer is also dad to two children from a previous relationship: son Mason Evan, 6, and daughter Madilyn Grace, 7.
Decorated by celebrity-loved planner Cairo’s Custom Events, the sweet soirée was hosted by publicist Anita Chatterjee (who is also the baby’s godmother), Project Fly LA and The Smith Family Foundation, which NE-YO and his family founded in 2007.
