R+B star Ne-Yo has been sentenced to 24 hours of community service after pleading no contest to reckless driving charges.

The So Sick hitmaker, real name Shaffer Smith, was booked for speeding and driving without a licence after traffic cops in Georgia flagged down his Range Rover in February.

He entered a guilty plea for the second traffic offence.

According to local newspaper the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Ne-Yo will be performing for the youth group Boys and Girls Club as part of his community service.

During sentencing at a Georgia court on Monday, he was also fined $1,000 and has been ordered to attend a defensive driving class.
