(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Ne-Yo once got sent a giant pair of womens panties by a fan and a picture of her wearing them.

The R&B star is always grateful to his fans when they send him trinkets and other memorabilia, and constantly reminds himself if it wasnt for them he wouldnt be where he is now. That said, he has received his fair share of unusual gifts. He always tries to see the best in the presents, but admits one still haunts him.

I was once sent a bag of womens underwear really, really big underwear, and pictures of the sender wearing it! That was kinda gross. I didnt need to see that and it stuck with me... but not in a good way.

Ne-Yo enjoys going out on dates, but knows his idea of a good time doesnt appeal to everyone. He is a self-confessed sci-fi geek and favours going to see his favourite kind of movies with prospective partners.

Im also a great bowler. I can beat anybody, he told Company magazine. Wed watch a movie, eat pizza, laugh, maybe go bowling see where the night goes, with no expectations. (C) Cover Media
