Money To Blow? Ne-Yo Drops Half A Milli For That Farm Life

R&B singer Ne-Yo is getting his farmer on after reportedly paying over $500,000 for a five-bedroom Georgia home.

Details of the big purchase have surfaced online this week.

Real estate sources tell us … the R&B superstar dropped $520K on a gated 5-bedroom, 3-bath house that sits on 2 acres of farmland … in the boondocks outside of Alpharetta, Georgia. The listing calls it a “hobby farm.” Hard to say if he plans on growin’ his own crop … he’s been known to provide housing to relatives — like the $550K crib for his mom he bought a couple years back.

Ne-Yo addressed skipping out on a New York restaurant right here…

Last year, Ne-Yo addressed claims of ditching a hefty restaurant bill.

Ne-Yo has way too much money to stiff some restaurant on a bill … despite accusations he bailed on a $800 tab in NYC last month … the singer tells TMZ. Ne-Yo was out at LAX last night when we asked about allegations he racked up an $800 bill with his friends at a West Village restaurant called Negril … then skipped on the bill … and tip. Ne-Yo tells us, “Anybody that knows me knows that I don’t have to dine and ditch … $800, seriously?” Crazier things have happened. (TMZ)

Details of the alleged shady stunt surfaced online back in late October 2014.

The Grammy winner spent an evening dining with a group of 10 earlier this month at West Village restaurant Negril, where he sipped on multiple Grey Goose screwdrivers and ordered mac and cheese and chicken plates, racking up an $800 bill. But the “Sexy Love” singer allegedly walked out without paying a dime — or giving his overworked waitress a tip. “We had a Monday Night Football thing, the Giants were in, too, and Ne-Yo came in with [road manager] Jayvon Smith, a group of girls, some guys and a bodyguard,” one eyewitness tells Confidenti@l. “He was ordering all this stuff and he kept asking people what they want, and kept the drinks coming.” Even though the waitress on Ne-Yo duty was “run ragged” by his needy group, our tipster tells us she was overly helpful and enthusiastic toward the singer and his crew. “The waitress was really sweet, she even helped his bodyguard, who sat at the bar while the group ate,” says the source. “She’s smiling like she’s going to get a good tip and she ends up looking for him after no one paid the bill.” (New York Daily News)
