Ne-Yo is denying claims that
his pretty decent "A Milli" freestyle was meant as a shot at Chris Brown. "That is not a Chris Brown dis," he told MTV. "I'm not shooting at nobody... Chris, I ain't shooting at you. That's my homeboy. It is not a Chris Brown dis!" OK, so then who is the opening line "To whom it may concern, you might sell a million more than me/ But you ain't got a million more than me, let's be real" directed at? Taylor Swift? Chad Kroeger? [

1995 alt-rock hit: "Katy Perry's song is a kind of catchy party song, although I will admit that I do smile when a critique mentions my version in a more favorable light. Is that wrong?" Not at all, Jill, but just be aware that any "favorable light" shone your way by this site is the result of Katy's song being the worst thing

Are we taking his disappointment with the band on faith?
