On The Set: Ne-Yo “Miss Independent” Video Shoot

Ne-Yo shot the video for his second single “Miss Independent” off of his upcoming “Year Of The Gentlemen” disc this past monday in Santa Monica. I see director Chris Robinson picked the baddest bishes in Hollywood to play the leads in the video. Gabby, Lauren and Keri? That’s what’s up. Trey Songz makes a cameo in the video as well. Per Ne-Yo:

So the new single is “Miss Independent.” My ode to the hard working women of the world, the sexiness that is ambition n’ what not. I think that 2008/2009 and beyond, women should stand up n’ let the fellas know that they can ball out too, take pride in the fact that your car, crib, baby’s clothes, EVERYTHING is on you, and you got it!!! Now to those women who can’t say that yet, let this record be inspiration. Listen to this record and let it be a blueprint for the woman you will work towards becoming. I wanna look at you n’ be proud mama, want you to look at yourself n’ be proud.

Fellas, let’s do our part too. If you spot a sista doin’ it, or workin’ hard towards doin’ it, just stop real quick n’ hit her wit a “I see you mama, do ya thang.” It’s the gentleman thing to do.
