'90s singer Tevin Campbell claps back at trolls who still question his sexuality

Earl Gibson/BET/Getty Images for BETTevin Campbell had a important message for Internet trolls on National Coming Out day.

The ’90s singer, known for such classic hits like “Can We Talk,” and “Tell Me What You Want Me to Do,” took to Twitter to address his critics’ comments on his sexuality.

“I read the comments I done heard it all ‘his a** loose,’ he a f**,” “he gay as hell,” y’all homophobes gotta do better,” Tevin wrote. “The thing you will NEVER EVER be able to say about me is ‘that boy CANT saing’ thats the day I will be sitting at home crying and that day will be NEVER.”

This isn’t the first time Campbell has publicly addressed his sexuality. In a 2003 Q & A with Sister 2 Sister magazine, reposted online, the singer said he described himself as “try-sexual.”

“I’m not gay, but there’s a lot of different things that I do like, sexually,” he said. “Being in the business, you are introduced to a lot of different things. I’m not gay, but I’m a freak and I think a lot of people know what a freak is.”

However, Campbell has also been clear that his personal life is strictly his “business.”

“That’s nobody’s business,” he said in a 2009 interview with IMissTheOldSchool. “If someone is interested in me and they wanna be my friend or whatever, then we can talk. It’s nobody’s business what I like to do behind closed doors, just because I am a celebrity. I hate that. And I like the fact that people wanna know. Let ‘em wonder.”

T.I. says Kanye West’s fascination with power and fame has made him “jaded”

Daniel SheaAs T.I. celebrates the release of his new album, Dime Trap, and the opening of his pop-up Trap Museum in Atlanta, he continues to be concerned about the controversial comments made by Kanye West.

T.I. told Nightline this week that Kanye has lost touch with reality.

“I think his isolation and disconnect with people plus his fascination with power and fame, I think he’s a little jaded,” he says. “But I do also believe when he says slavery was a choice, I don’t think he meant it the way people took it.”  

TIP says Kanye asked him attend his Thursday lunch meeting at The White House with President Donald Trump, but he declined.

The “Whatever You Like” rapper has been a constant critic of the president, and after several collaborations with Kanye, he says now he’s ashamed to be associated with him.

T.I., 50 Cent & more not happy about Kanye West's meeting with Trump

ABC NewsThe hip-hop community had a lot to say about Thursday’s meeting between Kanye West and President Donald Trump.

West, who officially visited the White House to discuss prison reform with the POTUS, offered high praise for Trump, whom he said he regarded as a father figure.  And not surprisingly, Yeezy’s enthusiastic support of the president and his often controversial ideologies didn’t sit well with his fellow black artists.

In a lengthy, blunt Instagram post, T.I. called out the Chicago rapper for his “repulsive, disgraceful, embarrassing” behavior.

“Now I’ve been extremely patient and made it a point to not jump to any premature conclusions about Ye’& his antics,” T.I. wrote in part. “But now this s*** is next level, futuristic Sambo, Hopping Bob, Stephen off Django ass s*** Ye!!!!”

“This is the most repulsive, disgraceful, embarrassing act of desperation & auctioning off of one’s soul to gain power I’ve ever seen,” T.I. continued, revealing that Kanye had asked him to attend the Trump meeting, which he declined to do.

T.I. added that he was now “ashamed” be associated with the rapper, and telling Kanye’s fans, “Don’t follow this puppet.”

50 Cent also weighed in, sharing a meme of Trump wearing a Superman costume and seemingly flying Kanye to safety.

“You make me feel like Superman, Obama said l was a idiot f*** these n***** lm wit you Master,” he captioned the image. “Let’s make America great again LOL.”

Other artists, including Freddie GibbsDaz DillingerQuestlove and Talib Kweli also criticized Kanye’s erratic behavior.

“This is why what Kanye is doing is dangerous,” Kweli tweeted. “He is putting us directly in the scope of vile racists…who say that black ppl who don’t support Trump are slaves on a plantation.”

Colin Kaepernick among 8 honored at Harvard for contributions to black history

Colin Kaepernick/Twitter(SAN FRANCISCO) — Colin Kaepernick, who helped lead the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl but made even bigger headlines protesting against social injustice, was among those honored on Thursday for their significant contributions to black history and culture.

Kaepernick and comedian Dave Chappelle headlined a list of eight individuals who received the W.E.B. Du Bois Medal at Harvard’s Hutchins Center for African & African American Research.

Joining Kaepernick and Chappelle, as reported by ABC Boston station WCVB-TV, were Kenneth Chenault, the chairman of General Catalyst; Shirley Ann Jackson, the president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Pamela Joyner, the founder of Avid Partners; Florence Ladd, a psychologist and author; Bryan Stevenson, the founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative; and Kehinde Wiley, an artist.

“Love is at the root of our resistance,” Kaepernick told students on Thursday. “People live with social injustice every single day, and we expect them to thrive in situations where they’re just trying to survive.”

Past honorees include Muhammad Ali, Maya Angelou and Sonia Sotomayor.

Post Malone introduces Jimmy Fallon to the Olive Garden on 'The Tonight Show'

NBC/Andrew LipovskyPost Malone is a big fan of the Olive Garden, and celebrates all of his milestones there. So when Post heard that Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon had never been, he took Jimmy to dinner at the restaurant chain’s Times Square location.

The segment, taped after Malone’s Tonight Show appearance a week ago, began with the two arriving in the Dallas rapper’s pink limo, and Malone showing Fallon how to enjoy Olive Garden’s unlimited breadsticks “Post Malone style.”

After asking the waitress for “a s******* of butter, Malone instructed Fallon to “take about two milimeters of butter, just put it on.” Fallon’s reaction: “The contrast — it’s garlicy, it’s salty, it’s buttery, it’s hot and it’s cold.”

Next came the salad, which to Jimmy’s amazement was also free. When the waitress offered some parmigiano cheese to go on top, Malone declined, ordering “a laundry basket of croutons” instead. The next scene showed Fallon literally bringing out a huge basket of croutons and placing them on the table in front of Post.

For the entree, Post ordered “two chicken parmigianas, extra crispy,” then told Fallon to opt for rigatoni over penne pasta, warning the penne was gluten free.

Finally came the desert, which was on Jimmy, who surprised Malone with a birthday cake and had the entire restaurant sing “Happy Birthday” — even though Post’s birthday is nine months away.

Afterwards, Fallon — to whom Olive Garden had awarded the rights to its slogan “When you’re here, you’re family” after they had retired it from their commercials — signed them over to Post.
