In an interview with Doug Banks' syndicated radio show, "The Ride With Doug & DeDe," R&B soulman Johnny Gill finally addressed rumors that he is gay and was the driving force behind Eddie Murphy’s breakup with Tracey Edmonds.

Gill denied both rumors and faulted the media for failing to check the facts. He seemed genuinely hurt that he's constantly being referred to by the public as being more than just Eddie Murphy's running pal.

Gill also discusses how painful it is for him to have to hear and deal with the constant rumors. Gill, 41, said he was willing to put money on the line or to take a lie detector test to prove his point.

"There's not one person on this planet that could ever say they've seen Johnny Gill step outside of the rim or conducted himself as a man." "I keep a stable," he said, explaining that he is not married and has women of all races.

Commenting on reports that Murphy's mother Lillian had bickered constantly with Edmonds' mother throughout the weekend, Gill said Mrs. Murphy was just expressing her belief that the actor was rushing into marriage so soon after the debacle with Melonie “Scary Spice” Brown and amid ongoing issues with his first wife, Nicole.

"Eddie has a great level of respect for his mother and his family, just like anybody," Gill told Banks. "And when Mommy finally decided to speak on it, she spoke on it after the ceremony – simply that she felt everything was moving too fast and it didn't feel right. She's not an actress and she was being honest with him."

Gill also shed some light on what initially set off Lillian's tirade.

"One of Tracey's guests said some things that were inappropriate that triggered everything with the mom, and that's how it all started," he said.

Gill also attempted to explain what Murphy was thinking when he famously picked up a transvestite prostitute in West Hollywood. He said: "Somebody walks up that you assume is a fine girl that spots you and approaches you, you're thinkin' 'Hey shoot, it's my lucky night.' He had no other choice but to bite the bullet and say 'Hey, I was just helping her out and giving her a ride.'"

Respect to Johnny. It's about time he finally cleared the air

If you wanna sex with Donkey,
you gonna get some ass.

Those who protest too much, are usually suspect. As Wendy Williams would say, "howudoin". Im sure everyone knows Eddie Murphy's closet has many skeletons and a dead transexual too. (The transexual he was busted with was mysteriously killed soon after)

"Let's Just Run Away"

Has he re-read this statement??

& "stable" my ass, the boy got a stable'a dicks waitin'!

That pic is hilarious


Jokes aside, I think it's goofy to try to clear the air after SO MANY YEARS of speculation. It just rings false to me. "I keep a stable", BITCH PLEASE He's trying too hard imo...

Ya'll are funny but the line, 'Gill finally addressed rumors' is even funnier since he's been denying this since Tavis Smiley had a show on BET in which he appeared and said the same thing.

lord my gaydar broke when I read that

BBEP BEEEP BEEEEP

It sounds like Johnny Gill is trying to impress someone. I mean, if you're supposedly this stud, then why do you have to tell people, "I'm a stud?" If that was the case, there wouldn't be so many persistent gay rumors going around. It's not like we're talking someone who hasn't been in the public eye for the past 20-odd years, so such a "stud" should have a trail of conquests.

Not that I would expect a "stable" from a washed-up singer whose best days passed by when he had those crazy-looking geometric haircuts.

Man, his statement just wasn't well-worded at all...

Grammatically, he didn't negate the rumor about being gay...

"I keep a stable" is pretty disrespectful to women, which make up his chief market...

And, he sounded like he was, indeed, trying to impress someone.

Not the way you go about dismissing rumors.

Your's too?! Man that queen know he needs to stop. I don't know who that fool thinks he's fooling but it sure ain't me! Maybe I'm digging too deep here but he sure knows a hell of a lot about what happened for this "split" between Eddie and Tracey. Plus, did you notice that Johnny called Eddie's mom "Mommy"? I see smoke from Johnny's flames a mile away.

Well, all I have to say about that is

Why do GAY people think everyone in this world is GAY. It's like they need to find things for their satisfaction. Next they are going to be saying Puff Daddy and biggie had a relationship and DR. Dre and Eminem has one too. gAWD KNOWS i HEARD ABOUT tEVIN cAMPBELL AND Al B Sure for years now!!

Ugh, I know. I didn't like that either, but i'm sorry, his constant denials about being gay do not come across as believable at all.

Tou are a bit late on Tevin, he cam out a long time ago (after he was busted with a male prostitute in West Hollywood).

cheeseburger said:

There was a rumor a while back with details about Johnny Gill and ex boxer Sugar Ray Leonard. This was back in the early 1990s

Cheeseburger, I'm gay and I sure in hell don't think every man or woman is gay.
So please don't make such a general statement about "all gays", because I could care less about any celebrity being homosexual.

I'm not gonna be sleeping with em, so it doesn't matter at all to me. I find it interesting that these rumors have been running rampid for years now about Gill and Murphy.

I'm pretty sure their just good friends and just like we all have em, "Best Friends", doesn't mean your screwing oneanother DAMN!

I like both of these guys, their very talented and I don't give a rats ass about their personal affairs with oneanother, women, trannies or whatever.

I'm glad Johnny spoke on it thou, because when you don't say nothing for so long, then ppl began to think its true, but as I said...I didn't care.

And just as someone said already "Tevin Campbell" is gay and the undercover cop wasn't dressed in womens clothing, so that pretty much explains it

psss - Big Prince Party Coming Up In Detroit on 3/30/08, details at: www.myspace.com/sanzentertainment .

"I keep a stable",he says,explaining that he isn't married and has women of all races.

I remember when he was on Wendy Williams just a few years ago with a New Edition discussing their label/Puffy woes. While he was the most articulate and informative of the gang, but there were points when he got upset you could almost see him rolling his neck. At one point I thought I heard his fingers snap. He may not be sleep with Eddie but I’ll bet money he sleeps with someone who looks a lot like him from the waist down.

You need to stick a "cheesburger" in it with that bullshit. And for you information, the people you named have been alleged to be gay. I am gay but I have much more important things to do then to figure out if some male star is down with the cock. Please. You need to stop generalizing people and saying that everybody does something like this cause you are wrong.
