Ne-Yo has had a longstanding relationship with Beyoncé, having penned one of the biggest hits of her career, “Irreplaceable.” But after missing out on her last album I Am… Sasha Fierce, the singer-songwriter is back in the studio, working on B’s upcoming fourth solo release.

“It’s coming along nicely. I can’t speak too much on it, but it’s another direction for her, and she’s carving out her own niche,” he told Access Atlanta. “In a minute nobody will be in Beyoncé’s lane. They really can’t get in her lane now, but they really can’t get in her lane after this album.”

Mrs. Carter may be enjoying life at home with Jay-Z, but she appears eager to return to the lab. Jim Jonsin hinted that he might be getting back in the booth with B after sending her some music to listen to. “She may be recording, she may not,” the “Sweet Dreams” producer told Rap-Up TV in May.

Aside from his production and writing career, Ne-Yo is currently focused on his fourth album, Libra Scale. The LP, delayed to an October 19 release date, has already spawned the singles “One in a Million,” “Champagne Life,” and “Beautiful Monster.”

Here is an interesting piece of news… This foundation called Diva was brought to life because of Beyonce’s number one hit “Diva”. Read about the foundation below…

In the chorus from “Diva,” a 2009 song released by pop diva Beyonce, the word “hustla,” with its perceived negative connotation, is said 24 times.
Hustla. Of a hustla. By the end of the song, it has become a word of empowerment.
Diva is a female version of a hustla.
Let it sink in, Monicka Carey-Green told her girls. Green, the founder and executive director of DIVA, a nonprofit organization for low-income and at-risk girls, uses Beyonce’s song as a teaching tool.
When the song came out, “my phone was blowing up, and some of (the girls) were even afraid to tell me about it,” she recalled.
But Green challenged her divas, asking what the song meant to them.
“Tell me, besides Beyonce, who else is a female hustler?” Green said. “Who else do you know?”
The girls were silent, Green remembered. “Finally I say, what about your mom?”
As a response, another chorus arose: “My mama ain’t no hustler.”
And that is where Green inserted her lesson, using a popular R&B song to connect her message to the minds of the impressionable youth she counsels.
“She gets up every day and goes to work. She cooks food. She cleans the house. She’s trying to make ends meet,” began the list Green rattled off. “She’s paying the bills. Your mama is a female hustler. Ms. Monicka is a female hustler.
“Being a hustler can only be a negative term if you make it one.”
The foundation of DIVA, an organization that Green started building more than 10 years ago when she moved to Columbia, is power. The power of a woman, specifically, and how one learns to take control.
The program is a reflection of Green’s personal transformation. She relocated from Washington, D.C., to regain her power, escaping a dark period that had etched her with physical and emotional scars.
To get here she had to — could any other word be more appropriate here — hustle. Read more…
