Knowing now that Tevin is gay puts a whole new spin on the lyric, "How many ways can you work The P."

How do ya'll know that Tevin is gay?? That boy is NOT gay, who told you that lie???

His arrest was on regular,everyday,non-tabloid news. He was picking up a male hooker. Not a transvestite that may have looked like a woman to him.

Are you SERIOUS? Ahh,man.....bad Tevin,bad bad bad. How disappointing.

Unfortunately the rich and famous can't come out by saying "Hi I'm gay." No it has to be after the words "You're under arrest"

R&B singer Tevin Campbell was ordered to attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings and an AIDS awareness class after pleading no contest to soliciting a lewd act from an undercover policeman, according to the Associated Press.

Campbell, 22, was





also fined $1,080 Monday for the misdemeanor conviction stemming from his July 8 arrest. He was ordered to return to court February 7 with proof that he has completed the drug rehabilitation and AIDS education requirements of his sentence.

The singer was arrested in a police sting outside of Van Nuys Elementary School in Los Angeles.

Campbell made his debut at the age of twelve when he sang on "Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)," from Quincy Jones' 1989 album, "Back On The Block." Soon after that, the artist then known as Prince invited Campbell to sing on the 1990 "Graffiti Bridge" soundtrack; Campbell contributed "Round And Round." In 1991, Campbell released his debut album, "T.E.V.I.N."

Campbell's most recent release is his self-titled record (and his fourth album overall), which was released earlier this year.

I'm taken aback by it by it,but I don't see anything about him being gay. Man if Prince finds this out, I wonder how he's going to take it.....

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

...just like George Michael!

kookie said:

The odds are that if you solicit a male prostitute you are probably gay.

I'm sure Prince knows about this.

Don't take this as gospel but a friend of a friend of a friend told me that Eddie likes Chicks-with-dicks. He doesn't like to have sex with them, he just likes to watch them while he does his thing. I was told this WAYYYYY before the whole fiasco.


M

maybe Tevin can fuck George Michael

they both like toilets,

and love soliciting

so imagine Tevin and George in some horsey action

i bet Tevin would be on top

I don’t know if any of you are familiar with a magazine called Sister 2 Sister, it’s kinda cheesy, but the info in it is factual. Jamie Foster Brown did a VERY in-depth interview with Tevin Campbell about 3 years ago or so, and he told her some stuff that made my mouth drop open and my stomach turn. He told her about his times on tour, when on the tour bus he would have sex with whomever (this meant female and male dancers), however and how-many-ever. He was raw and hardcore with his sexuality. I will see if I can find the text. He referred to himself as a freak, and the photos of him in the magazine were awful. He looked like all he’d been doing was drugs and having sex. He looked really unhealthy. The article was deep because he hit on some issues that were really tearing his life apart—drugs, the whatever-however sex, etc. It was hard to read that having really looked at him as the next big star back in the day when Quicy’s Juke Joint album came out. I forget what song Tevin did on that, but it was his first, and it was off the hook. It’s amazing what the celebrity lifestyle can do if you are not a grounded and wise person.

I remember this article and when it came out. It was before he started going with Rashaan Patterson.
