1990s Singer Tevin Campbell Comes Out The Closet As Gay

Singer Tevin Campbell Confirms He’s Gay

Ever since Tevin Campbell burst onto the R&B scene in the 1990s, people have speculated about his sexuality. But there was never a confirmation as to whether he was gay, or not.

Yesterday a fan reached out to Tevin and asked him straight up – whether he was a member of the LGBTQ community. And surprisingly, Tevin was open and honest.

The fan told Kevin, “My mom keeps telling me Luther Vandross, Teddy Pendegrass and Tevin Campbell were gay.” Luther is widely believed to have been gay, and Teddy was caught having an affair with a trans-woman.

Tevin responded by saying, “Tevin is.” along with an emoji of the gay flag.

Tevin  singer, songwriter and actor. He performed gospel in his local church from an early age. Following an audition for jazz musician Bobbi Humphrey in 1988, Campbell was signed to Warner Bros. Records. In 1989, Campbell collaborated with Quincy Jones performing lead vocals for “Tomorrow” on Jones’ album Back on the Block and released his Platinum-selling debut album, T.E.V.I.N.

The album included his highest-charting single to date, “Tell Me What You Want Me to Do”, peaking at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The debut album also included the singles “Alone With You” (produced by Al B. Sure and Kyle West, with background vocals by K-Ci and JoJo from Jodeci), and “Goodbye”.
