Does anybody know where this brotha is??? Geez, just because you get busted for soliciting sex from a cop, doesn't mean you have to stop making albums, you know what I'm sayin'. I liked Tevin a lot. He made a mistake and now it seems no one wants to touch him. They gave George Michael a second chance, didn't they?

Eye knew Tevin was a grily boy! Eye love that! WooHoo!!!

Liquid

Surely you heard about it when it happened, right?

I got Tevin's autograph. When I met him I knew he wasn't meant to be with females. Nice kid though, and what a voice!

I've made this point before on a previous Tevin Campbell thread and I'll say it again.In the R&B/hip-hop world,homosexuality is just not accepted.I mean,how many openly gay R&B singers can you name? In the pop world,homosexuality/lesbianism is more accepted,which is why you have many openly gay artists in that genre (Elton John,Melissa Etheridge,Michael Stipe,George Michael).I hate to say this,but it's unlikely that Tevin will be given that "second chance",at least not as an R&B artist.After his scandal in 1999,he was quickly dropped from Qwest/Warner Bros Records and hasn't been heard from since.

true Davideye, but also, Tevin never came out, he was outed. I think that makes it worse. I'm still waiting for that hardcore hip-hop GAY thug. I can't wait! There has to be one out there

Tevin's been hiding out at my place. I've taken him on a tour of all the London pickup places and we're havin' a fuckin' good laugh.

?

What's the story on Tevin? I never thought Tevin was Gay. What's the story? Enquiring Minds wanna know.

DavidEye said:

Dig that 1.Image changed in Music as well.Tevin also Suffered as a Artist for not having any Personna.the Guy Can Sing&whatnot but missing that "IT".that is so true you can't be Openly Fruity in R&B&Rap unless you have Pop Appeal.different set of rules.

last i seen on tevin he was on the first latin grammys
(i think) with christina aguleria singing a duet and...before that he had this video of him riding around all like "lonely bachelor type"i dont remember the name tho'

If being Gay is not accepted in the R&B charts like you say then what about Luther Vandross, Tony Braxton, MC Lite and maybe Missy Elliott? Not sure but there are rumors and they are definitely in R&B or the Rap section of the Music stores. Personally, I think more performers are Gay then what we know to be true. Maybe other Performers or Insiders know but the Public is Clueless. Gayness or Bi-Sexuality should not in Any Way hamper a Performer Saleswise, Opinionwise or Awardwise. There shouldn't be Favoritism nor Rejection. It's really a Personal Choice and if the Performer wants to Come -Out they should and if not well that's Cool also. I can Certainly Respect a Person's Wishes. No One Should OUT anybody that just Isn't Right! I Don't Like the Way George Michael was Forced Out because it was Degrading for Him! And I don't think he Deserved that type of Treatment,however he Should Have been More Discrete. It just made him look like a Pervert. Likewise to Pee-Wee Herman. I think the Idea and Image that Gay people are Perverts or Pedophiles is Terrible and Wrong and I feel Gay Performers should Set high Standards and Set Good examples so People are not Afraid of Them or Aids and Don't Run-Away. There is just Too Much Ignorance and Hate in this world and only Education and Good Role Models will Help to Change People's way ofthinking.

toni braxton and MC lyte are gay ? where have i been

It is a Rumor amongst the Gay community that Toni had a girlfriend and MC Lyte also is Gay.

Natasha said:

Well those are rumors. None of these people have come out of the closet. I can assure you if they are gay and they do come out their careers in RnB would be over. I am not saying it is right but, it just does not go over in the African-American community.

That's not true what you are saying. I do believe there are Plenty Gay African Americans in R&B. Luther may not say it but everybody knows he is and what about Big Daddy Kane? Do you not Know anything? Please in Entertainment it's Commonplace if not a Menage. Wake -Up smell that Coffee!

i just found out that Billy Dee Williams is gay. Seriously!! :O

Natasha said:

Toni Braxton is not gay,she's happily married to a MAN and she has one child and another one on the way.

Big Daddy Kane is most certainly not gay,either

MC Lyte has denied that she is gay in many interviews.

Don't know about Luther,but I did hear those rumors too.

Well, supposedly Toni Had a Girlfriend she used to work out with. How about Whitney Houston and her Personal Assistant Robin? Listen, People there is such a thing as Bi-Sexual. Ever hear of that one? Ever hear of Menage A Trois? These are Rumors I heard from Gay Friends who Claimed they saw so and so at so and so a place. Jodie Foster also. Supposedly has a Girlfriend. Listen somebody told me Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson use to see Guys and Girls. Listen,in HollyWEird everybody Plays. So really it's Commonplace,but not a big to Do. If a Person didn't have Sex or Play now that I would find Strange. Certainly not One's Gay Exploits. Why this is so Taboo in the 21st Century I'll Never Understand! So stupid. And how many Gay Men actually do Sleep with Some Women Friends? Not Every Gay guy hasn't done it with a Woman. It depends alot of times Friends Fuck Around you Know. It is Purely Sex and Not a Big Deal! Commonplace my Friends ,Commonplace. Do Your Homework and Explore! See what you Will Find! You May Be Surprised! Read! Educate Yourself! Power through Knowledge!

Natasha said:

Oh,I understand what you're saying.Many people are "swingers",especially in HollyWeird,like you said.But it's also true that,when you're famous,there are always rumors and gossip about who you're supposedly sleeping with.You can't always believe everything you read

Trust me David I Don't Believe everything I read. I have friends who have told me Inside Information and they are Reliable sources.

Natasha said:

And yes, there is alot of Swinging going on and yes when you are working together and in Close Proximity with somebody else you are bound to get a bit Intimate with them.

SkletonKee said:

Han Solo will be relieved to hear that! (he won't be setting luke onto Lando after all)

I heard that Tevin has actually made several albums since the...uh..."the incident".Is this true?

DavidEye said:

I think he had an album out a just a little bit before he got arrested for trying to pick up a male ho in a park, after that he didn't do anything.. i don't think he'll be doing anything else either because his 'sweet kiddie' persona was gone anyways and he was fading into oblivion before the incident

SkletonKee said:

Wow!!! Are you seriouse SkeletonKee? How do you know this? I thought he was married to a lady from the Phillipines.

this is the most recent info i've seen on tevin.
the following is from africana.com (this incident happened earlier this year):

We haven't heard from Tevin Campbell since he was arrested in 1999 for marijuana possession and soliciting sex from a male undercover LAPD police officer. Now, reports coming out of Kampala, Uganda say that the former teen singing sensation is back on the celebrity stage of infamy. After performing in a New Year's Eve concert, Campbell was allegedly held at The Hotel Africana with his mother for not paying their bills.

VelvetJ said:

well...he visits a center here in the bay area..and its common knowledge amoungst the staff...

but then, everyone has a relative who is a nurse that saw richard gere at the hospital getting the gerbal out of his arse...so go figure..

Somebody on the this said they didn't think Tevin was gay. I for one never thought Tevin was straight. Even as a little kid on the Graffiti Bridge movie.

guys i think that it finally comes down to the music and if people like it or not. luther knows that everyone knows that he is gay but he still sells...queen latifa nor missy never says it but their music sells...da brat definately sells...sisqo's music sells and he is sooo gay...usher is said to be gay...and the list goes on and on etc etc etc...but the FACTS are that if you make GOOD music your stuff would sell if u dress in drag, have breast implants and waiting for cash to finish off the penis removal to complete the entire process...and finally we all know that prince is weird in his own way and do u know why we love him...BECAUSE HE IS THE BEST MUSICIAN EVER!!!

p.s. guys what's the deal on prince never being inducted
into the r&r hall of fame or what about him and mj
doing something together...remember wesley snipes
in the video BAD was originally offered to prince!
