Ne-Yo On Finding Out the Baby Wasn?t His
Jessica called me, balling crying. I?m like, ?What?s wrong with you?? And all she could say is, ?He?s not yours, he?s not yours.? She just kept saying it over and over and over again, to the point where I dropped the phone. Chimere?s not mine.

On Trying to Take Care of Chimere & Jessica Taking Him to Court for Child Support
I didn?t care who the father was. In my mind, I was still Chimere?s father. I was there when he was born. I saw him when he first came out. I held him. He was my kid.
In the state of California if you put yourself out there as the father, the mother can then come after you in court like you?re the biological father so we settled out of court for what I thought was an ungodly amount of money. Shortly after that Jessica and Chimere vanished. [So you’re not in touch with him now?] No. Nope. [Sorry.] Life goes on and so do we.
