[edit] this article is a mess

I don't need to log in just to say that

the first paragraph is jumbled. I shouldn't be reading about Tevin Campbell being arrested before I read about his music. the whole "controversy" is presented in a terrible, stream of conscious style.

apparently, nobody has noticed this... -- Crnk Mnky 03:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] homosexuality debate... how predictable...

Even back in the mid 90s Tevin said in an interview with Blues&Soul magazine in the UK that Quincy Jones had advised him to keep certain aspects of his private life private. Seemed pretty clear to me what that was. I just hope that people will stop making stuff up about his arrest. I personally deleted a paragraph that he supposedly molested a "smaller person in his cell" after the arrest. Smaller than Tevin? Like who, Gary Coleman?! People should accept Tevin as a gay man who made a mistake. In Europe, this kind of thing is not that big a deal, George Michael's career did not suffer at all. He actually made fun of the arrest in a video.

Please do not remove the section of this article pertaining to Campbell's homosexuality as it is relevant and inclusion benefits the article. Removal will be seen as an act of vandalism. 67.101.31.54 22:30, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

What is the source of the information that Tevin Campbell "came out of the closet to reveal a long-time romantic partnership with musician Rahsaan Patterson." ??

Response: It has long been rumored that Tevin Campbell and Rahsaan Patterson were romantically linked back in the late nineties, but it's only that, a rumor. Neither party has ever confirmed the relationship. So perhaps the listing should be amended to relect this.

Tevin Campbell and Rahsann Patterson have actually worked together. Patterson co-wrote "Back to the World," the title song from Campbell's third album.

Additional Response: Tevin Campbell has never actually acknowledged his homosexuality, though he has at least hinted at it. In a 2003 article in "Sister to Sister" magazine, Campbell has said that he is "trisexual," suggesting with some measure of glibness that he will "try anything." That remark, along with others in the article, strongly suggest that he is at least bisexual.

Correction to Listing: The publicity photo of Campbell on the main page is from 1999, not 2004. The photo dates from about the time of the release of Campbell's fourth album, which was in early 1999.

What evidence do you have that Tevin Campbell is gay? This is sla,,;l;;nderous!!!

[edit] Tevin Campbell is not gay

What evidence is there to prove that Tevin Campbell was raped by 4 men, and is gay? This is slaihkhjkjous! Please omit this page.


that's not true either.

[edit] TRISEXUAL

This term is coined by the popular series, NeXt and CW's ElimiDate.

I'm bi-sexual but before I "tried-anything." So if he is bi, more power to him. I don't friggin believe what got into Rashaan though. That's something I gotta look for in his show, now. I mean, Willy from Philly real world was like that as well. God darn it.-ROCKY

[edit] As for the gay question....

The article now has clear information re: his arrest.

It simply states that he was arrested for solicitation. This is the only thing that is clear from the articles. Speculation about how it happened, how the police officer was dressed, etc. should NOT be included. Wikipedia is an ENCYCLOPEDIA, and as such, we can only put into an article verifiable information.

The article as it is now says nothing about his sexuality, per se. It simply identifies that the arrest happened. NickBurns 23:56, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Tevin Campbell did not "appear as himself" when he was on the Fresh Prince. He played a character similar to himself, named Little T.

But he was mentioned by his real name later in the show. Ashley said something like "Tevin Campbell posters" or something in that episode where they hired an ex-con to work around their house. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.175.38.28 (talk) 02:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the Long silence!

Tevin has been my idol since i was a kid in my early teeanage. i Liked the way he looked, sang, danced and all. i never cared what they said about his sexuality and for that reason i was also accused of being gay, despite the fact that i had almost every cut out of his photos, i dont think it was right to judge someone for their sexual orientation espacially if it had nothing to do with you. any way my concern today is...where are you pal? you may not know it but you have alaways been my invisible friend and we keep in touch through your music. the silence is unbearable. please release something soon. I MISS YOU BROTHA!!!! YOUSEF-NAIROBI. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.240.193.54 (talk) 08:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC).

so shall we just add 'arrest' to the R+B template then? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk) 14:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
