Ne-Yo Speaks on “Red Tails” Movie History After #2 Box Office Debut

Red Tails, the story of the historic Tuskegee Airmen brought to life by producer George Lucas and actors such as Terrence Howard, Ne-Yo, Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Tristan Wilds is now making its own history. The film debuted at #2 in the Box Office behind Underworld: Awakening, surpassing expectations after the film received not so great reviews from critics. Ne-Yo recently talked with MTV News about the success and acceptance of the film.

“I feel like we definitely did what we set out to do, which was make sure these incredible men, the Tuskegee Airmen, got the recognition that they deserved for the incredible things that they did for this country,” Ne-Yo told MTV News on Wednesday.
