Here's and excerpt of what the convo was like.
Ne-yo says ''You might need to lose some pounds. It depends on the type of music you want to do. If you want to go the Jill Scott route do what you want to do because there is freedom in that lane, but if you want to stand on the same stage as Beyonce, if you haven’t won an Oscar first, it isn’t gonna happen. And by that I mean Jennifer Hudson. Jennifer Hudson is a big girl. She won an Oscar and then she went and stood on the same stage as Beyonce.
It just really depends on the music you are trying to do. Jill Scott, Chrisette Michelle and that Neo soul style of music. You are okay and you can stay who you are because that audience accepts you for who you are. But these shallow muthaf*ckers in the pop world, they want you to be nice and curvy. Beyonce just barely gets by and you have NO IDEA how hard she worked. Beyonce is naturally a big girl too.''

I thought this was some real talk for all aspiring singers who don't know anything about the point where art meets corporate america.
