R & B'er Ne-Yo is the brains behind Beyonce's number one hit "Irreplaceable", and is getting a little bit of flack from his guy friends about it.

Knowles reveals Ne-Yo has been singled out for writing the catchy tune, which spent the first two months of 2007 at number one in America. She claims some men are upset because Irreplaceable is one of those songs that empower women and give them the strength to kick bad boyfriends out of their lives. She says, "I know he's getting a lot of talk from the guys, like, 'How could you write that? You're a man, you know?' All the men are in trouble now."

Ne-yo has lots of songwriting credits, including tunes for Rihanna, Paula DeAnda, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Julio Iglesias, and Celine Dion. He also has future plans for working with Michael Jackson, Jennifer Hudson, and Usher.
