Neyo Celebrates Mother’s Day In A Major Way
May 10th, 2008
Neyo is making sure the foster mothers of Atlanta are being recognized for their motherly contributions. This Mother’s Day (May 11), Neyo’s charity organization, Compound Foundation, is hosting a special Mother’s Day brunch for 50 extraordinary foster care mother’s from the Atlanta metro area.
Earlier today I spoke with Neyo about the event, check out what he had to say. “My foundation, Compound Foundation, is doing a Mother’s Day brunch for all the foster mothers in Atlanta. It’s just basically something to let them know we appreciate the stuff they’ve been doing. There’s no bigger responsibility then taking care of children and it’s an even bigger responsibility when you’re taking care of someone else’s children. That’s major. This brunch is for my mom, and all the mother’s that put it down for their families.”
He also credits his mother for his existence in music today “My mom is the one who put the pad and pen in my hand and told me to write it down” Neyo said. “If not for that moment, I probably wouldn’t be doing music at all.”
If you have a particular Mother’s Day moment, let it out in the comment’s section, or hell just shout her out. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind seeing her name on the walls of BET.Com lol. BIG SHOUTS GO TO SIDNEY C. IVEY (Yes, that’s LowKey’s Mommy lol)
Sincerely
Low “Hey MaMa” Key
