Money or lack thereof and morals are not directly related. Morals are like a compass that guide you through life. The problem with fame at such a young age is the person is still a child and isn't fully prepared with his compass to navigate through this treacherous life. Whether it be Hollywood or Dallas, Texas, Tevin Campbell wasn't ready for the world at the age of 12.
Brothers pass for black if you can!!!..When you can pass for black like me you get plenty of pity pu$$y from white and black girls....They fall for that stupid media black crybaby sh@t every time!!! Plus everyone treat you well everywhere because they're afraid you'll go all crybaby and call them a racist.

There is a lot of sadness with this man , I have a feeling he was taken advantage of as a young kid and probably still holding on to that pain. He just cannot talk about it. I see it in his eyes.
All these celebrities especially the children in hollyweird have some disturbing issues....look at Lindsay Lohan, Brittney, Orlando Brown etc etc....its physically and mentally sickening and ppl should avoid hollyweird
@@msmichelle2196 It's all a damn scam! Have u noticed the ones who have the most talent, never get the same publicity as others. Only those who submit to the Pedophile Satanic Industry gets all the air play smdh.
The rumor is Quincy Jones violated him in exchange for success. It's so sad how these child stars are usually taken advantage of by people they should be able to trust. - smh
Right, he seems like a very sweet & talented guy, but had the wrong people behind him & didn't have his best interest at heart, so so so sad... He looks like drugs were involved too...
She needs a kick square up her ass. I’m so angry after hearing this post. I loved Tevin Campbell. I wish him well and hope he makes a comeback. But if he doesn’t as long as he is healthy and well then stay away from the industry.
My heart goes out to Tevin...so very sad his mom allowed him to hang out with adults. They took full advantage of him and caused him to turn into a predator as well. Wishing Tevin healing and success.
He already had a good boy image & the industry tried to make him more manly but it didn't work b/c that's not who he was, but hollyweird played a huge role too & his parents lack of having his back
They skipped all over his vocals on the Disney movie "A Goofy Movie" it was kind of a big deal for kids back in the day. That was his first attempt of a comeback.
Not just the music industry but entertainment, politics, sports, bankers, etc. The Earth was given into the hands of the wicked, for a time. Entertainers are from generational transgendered families. No normal male are females are allowed. I know all of you will jump in to call me nuts, but before you do that compare those so call stars who is suppose to be the same gender as you to yourself. Do they match up. Learn the different markers/traits of the male and female bodies. Example: Men's skull are big and their eyes are set back in the skull, sloping forehead, brow ridge, wide mouth, squareish face. Women's skull is smaller and the eyes are not deep set into the skull, no sloping forehead, no pronounce brow ridge, oval face mouth not wide.
Why his mama let him drive and go to parties. Hollywood is like a human wood chipper. His albums got worse because I think he moved away from his real self/talent. Katt WIlliams already told ya’ll how them mansion parties went. He ain’t lied‼️
Nikita Watkins True. Because he got taken of advantage of. His face still shows trauma to me. He looks old before his time. Parents shouldn’t be in the business of pimping their kids for 💵.
I couldnt agree more. She need her butt whooped for not being a real parent. Ok so your son got talent but at the end of the day he still needs his mom to help raise him not pimp him out. She is just as much the blame along with Quincy and the rest of them clowns
@JESSE B ....right you can't sell what's not yours ....we belong to God & the devil can only tempt/persuade & use us as we allow but when it's all over our souls/spirits goes back to the creator....at least thats what I believe 🤔
Well..We still love him in South Africa..He frequently comes here to perform and we embrace him each and every time....👏👏👏👏..His talent remains unmatched
Tevin Campbell was abused and exploited, every adult that was around him during his teen years is culpable for his drug abuse. He was a minor and clearly was not protected and discarded when he wasn't useful. Also Prince should not have encouraged him to perform ssh as he was clearly uncomfortable.
Sherri Mcclarey How do you know this? Tevin said he sung it in a dark studio. Also why would that be an improvement upon my comment? Tevin was a minor. His album was marketed to teens (I’m a few years younger than Tevin). Prince was an adult can you explain what you meant? Thanks
My Comment was to Say That Prince was wanting Tevin To Feel That way as do Most Abusers of Children push certain Feelings on them even though not Comfortable for the Child because It is to make you open to suggested Actions and Behaviors and Ready You for the actual Intentions soon To be Inflicted on you by the Abuser
I believe he was gay anyway, but the toxicity of hollyweird made it worse, his freedom was making millions & going to weird parties at 14 years old! SHAME ON HIS PARENTS as well
Yeah, it's so different from today when 14 year olds can watch and listen to Nicki Minaj and Cardi being sexually explicit and adults and parents don't bat an eye lid.
@Heavenly Soundz Spiritual Beats Messiah Music The lyrics on the song were not age appropriate for Tevin at the time, Prince giving Tevin a song about "I'll do you like homework"? No! I don't think so.
@Heavenly Soundz Spiritual Beats Messiah Music You're right about that, I'm on the "that's not right bus" it's that saying "All Money Ain't Good Money"!
This guy is definitely a powerhouse in the music business. If he had the right person to manage his career, he would be nearly untouchable. Not too many people could hang with the young version of Tevin Campbell. May God bless him and may he find peace and favor in all that he does.
Tevin is a ton of power in the music fraternity and could have gained much more if the right person had steered his career. I just wish him everything positive and much love to Tevin.
And why did quincy and all his other leaders allow him to drink, drive, fk, etc? No supervision and pure train wreck! Im glad he's still alive and well! Thank God!
As I've said before, that industry is a mess. I'm glad to hear that he's doing alright. I wish Tevin all the best and hope that with maturity comes comfort and living a good life.
Me too, My heart was crushed by what happened to him. The fact that he made it as far as he did is a miracle. Anybody could have told him that once you get puffy' stink on you, your career is caput, but God is so faithful that he blessed him with the golden touch of Oprah. I'd love to see him perform on BET as well.
I doubt he will...not because he doesnt want to...just for some odd reason every damn year BET honors new edition like there arent any other r&b groups or contributors to black music like damn they didnt honor Michael until after he died let that sink in
Children feel shameful when touched, watched porn, and saw beastiality early and thats because there innocence know it's wrong. So drugs was his outlet to escape reality. Wow! Thanks mom. Fame was more important than kepping your child safe and in the presences of God. 😪
I don't think that is what is was in the beginning. We'd have to hear from him how he got started on drugs. He was partying with adults in Hollyweird. there is no other way to think of it...somebody gave him drugs and then they took advantage of him. All of those things are compounded. He grew up in church so he should know being gay is ungodly. Bless his soul...his book is one I am waiting to read.
I get what u, are sayin...I wouldn’t blame mom, bc she didn’t kno what came with it😢😢😢 I do believe things happened to him, that damaged him and confirmed him, manhood...It’s sad bc, fame was more important than keepin her, child safe in the presences of God...She probably regret it...but God. Yeah...Hollywood, make u, do some unholy, ungodly evil stuff 😢😢😢 make u, sleep with the same sex, etc
@@monicabanks1983 these things were happening for years in the music industry .. exploitation, sex, drugs alcohol. His mother knew exactly what she was pushing her son into. For peets sake she flew this child out to never never land after all those allegations. flooded the media. She was living her unfulfilled dreams through him. Damn the boy was never interested in being in the forefront. She paved the foundation for a challenged life.
i was a foreigner who grew up in malaysia as a teenager in the 90''s. Tevin's RnB songs were so popular, you can't get them out of your head. that's how far his music travelled
@@trinitypreciadojacintho A few years back Tev looked really bad, sis. It was evident he had been doing drugs. It's kinda like Ralph Tresvant, whom I LOVE, but he looks pretty rough and got that one eye that squints tighter than the other just like Tevin. And it does something to their teeth. If they hadn't been on the drugs (and Ralph tries to keep his under wraps but it is evident), these things wouldn't appear as such. Both men have beautiful voices but Hollyweird destroys lives.
"Shhhh" was my song tho! I knew he was to young to be singing those lyrics just like Aaliyah was singing with Kelly! These Parents never stopped that from happening.
"I'm ready" and "Tell me what you want me to do" is my favorite songs by him but you cant sleep on "Dont say goodbye girl". That song right there is my ultimate Tevin fav. It's so sad what the industry did to him but at least he is still alive.
I've always been a Tevin supporter, I still have his music on my iPod i still listen to today. His voice is a true blessing. I love his unique name and honesty. I follow him on social media as well. He is so talented, he music industry can be cruel, I think for him, he did what was best at the time. Glad to see he's still happy and healthy:)
Same for me I look up to him he inspired me to start singing ppl say I look like him when he was a teen in the 90s which is crazy because we share the same bday month I'm Nov 5 Tevin is Nov 5 it's my dream to sing backup for him 1 day
Where was his mama? Why would adults want a child at a party if they aren't planning on doing something to him? Reminds me of Drew Barrymore when her mother let her go to parties at 9. Very sad the music industry & hollywood are full of vampires who violate kids. God bless him.
They allow children because a pure nastiness a gwarn a dem place deh. It’s been said time and time again... that woman on housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle, said her mum would take her and her sister to industry parties all the time smh.. (Kyle and her sister Kim were on little house on the prairie when they were children) i feel sad for these children..
Wow, where was his mom while he was 14 years old and drunk driving? I feel bad for him because Lord only knows what he went thru at those adult house parties.
Quincy Jones got ahold of him. That’s why he said he can’t and will never talk about what happened to him. Everybody knows Quincy had a thing for 2pac.
P. diddy is very famous for his "parties". Up to recently a famous instagram person went to one of his parties and went looking for a bathroom and ended up walking in a strange room with all men kissing up each other and Diddy was in another man's face too.
I never forgot about Tevin. Would love to hear him make simple beautiful songs without all the gimmicks of some of today's RnB music. Just would really like to hear his voice on pure well-arranged ballad type songs.
Names like Quincy Jones, Benny Medina, Russell Simmons and Puffy (gatekeepers to fame) continue to come up when there is tragedy in a person's life. Allegedly, this young man was sexually mangled by older men and he is still suffering from the trauma..wow
Yes Benjamin, say that! I never heard anything about Benny, but Quincy and Diddy definitely get 2 side eyes. I also blame parents who somehow leave their kids in the hands of predators like the ones you mentioned, all because of a check. Quincy's mom was abusive to him, and she was mentally ill according to his Netflix Doc, so I believe that he internalized that pain only to unleash it onto others that he had control over including Michael. Look how he treated all those Becky's that he married.
Riqochet Rose Tarot it’s because Diddy has bad karma, and is a demonic Jezebel, with no redeeming qualities. He is bad news, unfortunately! 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂.Cheers mates!
It's truly sad he was so abused..he needs to name names..but I could understand his fears. I will always adore this talented singer and his contribution to music.
He coulda been huge. HUGE. He was part of my life growing up in the early 90s which were the best days of my childhood life. Everytime I hear "Tell me what you want me to do" by Tevin it brings such wonderful memories back.
The industry most likely use and abuse this child. They made him grow up so quickly. Sad... This young man was at the prime of his life, these old G's stole his youth. 💝
Chella GaGurl that's what happens when we put our children in the spotlight an dnt try our very best to monitor them, his speech he made about wanting to be bigger than m. Jackson they show him that this is the route u ofto take smh, go back to Jesus he can wash away your sins an make you whole again
Chella GaGurl yes n claim to be gay like the predator without getting help from the trauma falling victim to say he is gay now. He needs help then he can claim wht he is
sometimes i think a former big artist should just come out and do a tell all on abuse by these producers. Whats there to lose when you are so broken like that?
Good for you you’re not on any drugs. Plenty do, and maybe their trauma was worse than yours? Who knows. Just because you can say you didn’t go that route it just makes you the exception and not the rule.
Despite his struggles and his absence for so many years, I'm so glad to see he's still around and from the clips I've seen he still has that amazing voice.
Tell me what you want me to do is still one of my all time favorite songs. I love Tevin and I am so glad he is back on track. Drugs and alcohol can really throw you off track. I started at 16 due to a rocky home life. I have been clean and sober 4 1/2 years now and my life is the best it's ever been. Tevin was a Hollywood tragedy, like so many, but he turned his life around and I think that is awesome. So many kids die or keep using all their lives. It's sad, very sad.
@@Asubuhiwallahi you obviously never studied the Bible if you did you wouldn't ask a stupid question like this. You already have made up your mind that you don't want to believe in The Most High and is too lazy and hateful to study the Bible to seek answers of why The Most High allows wickedness.
@@flossyraven what you are saying is hogwash. You could call me namea but that still does not answer our question. Let's assume that you've studied the Bible better than me.like you claim,please tell us why your gid did not protect this young man? As goldly as you claim to be, i expect you to to not use angry or hateful words. Practice godliness in your response por favor. What's wrong with these freaks?
Agreed! It sounds like something bad happen to this young man and drugs were his outlet. There are plenty of monsters in the entertainment world and they prey on the innocent. Finally, his mother failed her son because it was her job to protect him from these beast.
I'm happy that he survived, and still around to do what he enjoys! The music industry can destroy a young person! Thank God he's still here! His music is still played on the radio, and he is touring right now!❤🎯👍
It was too deep and good for him stepping back trying to recover his soul..smh Queen Surgar and acting with a little singing can still be great for him
I did cry watching this, it's unbelievable that such a great talent never reached his potential... I love his voice, it's like Alexander O'Neal, never came around again...
I remember that nasty azz song on Tevin's album. His career tanked because he was marketed as a cute, clean cut, little boy. Then all of a sudden he is singing these adult, sexually explicit songs. He was too young for those songs. Where was his choir singing mother during all of this? His father? I liked some of Prince's music, but really? Tevin was too young to be in that lane. He had a home run with "Can We Talk?". He could have eased up to the more provacative music as he got older. Maybe it's me but I cannot listen to children singing about freaking me on a table after school.
@@darrylcarter3691 Totally agree. That song was too adult for him. It gave me the creeps listening to it. Who knows what went on in that studio while recording it? I have friends in the entertainment business including actors, singers, musicians, writers, publicists, producers, and recording engineers, etc. This can be a dirty business.
@@rickyradebe Right. Where were his parents? They should have stepped in and stopped that. I know someone who was a child singer who blew up in their teens and stayed on top until their twenties. I don't want to reveal too much because people can guess who they are. The stories that they have told me about me those studio recording sessions and the producers.
Who cares if he’s gay, that’s his personal life, “can we talk” is still one of my favorite songs of all time
Right
Right
Yes hunny!!
Nisha Pee you are definitely right I love can we talk😍
❤️ that song.
When will we learn? DON’t trust ANYONE with YOUR kids. Money doesn’t mean they have morals. Quite the opposite really.
Girl ain't it the truth. Don't trust Church leaders either
Money or lack thereof and morals are not directly related. Morals are like a compass that guide you through life. The problem with fame at such a young age is the person is still a child and isn't fully prepared with his compass to navigate through this treacherous life. Whether it be Hollywood or Dallas, Texas, Tevin Campbell wasn't ready for the world at the age of 12.

Plus everyone treat you well everywhere because they're afraid you'll go all crybaby and call them a racist.
Totally agree
The parents already know that. His mother wanted a meal ticket and contributed to his destruction.
It is why I respected Shanice Wilson's grandmother for accompanying her on tour. That family made sure she wasn't taken advantage of in any way

As well as Darci Lynne's parents for quiting there jobs to be with her on tour.

Exactly.. you can't turn your kids loose to strangers... most of them are not good people and they will turn your child out

There is a lot of sadness with this man , I have a feeling he was taken advantage of as a young kid and probably still holding on to that pain. He just cannot talk about it. I see it in his eyes.
Yes he had to go thru what is known as a Sexual Ritual under Quincy Jones. The Music Industry is Wicked and full of surprises 😮
Yes we see the pain but we his fans will ease the pain, love the hurt away and forever support him.. Listen to his song, TELL ME WHERE. You get it...
All these celebrities especially the children in hollyweird have some disturbing issues....look at Lindsay Lohan, Brittney, Orlando Brown etc etc....its physically and mentally sickening and ppl should avoid hollyweird

Something about every young person that comes in contact with Quincy Jones circle. Makes me wonder.
Where is the evidence of that accusation?
@thedarknessofthechrist Wait, what? No, no, no. He was picked up for soliciting an officer of the law, not a child. Shame on you!

Me too !!!!!
Yes, loved him since Tomorrow. Always will!❤
The industry broke him 😔 his eyes is full of sadness
No his mama did she sold him out at a young age
That industry breaks alot of people not just him.

It’s so sad to see the way the industry eats away at such incredible talent.
Despite it all, Tevin has made his mark on this world.
I just hope he continues!!
Yes he has 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yes!!!
The industry blackballed Tevin quietly. Notice how Quincy Jones doesn't say anything about Tevin Campbell😔
Special K he got what he wanted out of telvin and he chewed him up and spat him out . That’s hollywerid . 😞
Yep. He never talks about Tevin.
Special K I heard it was some funny business with him! Quincy!
He was his little boy toy

Glad people are connecting the dots. Driving while intoxicated, he could have easily hurt a pedestrian or a driver.

Good thing he wised up not many of them do. Most of the time it those Hollywood parties that began the start of the downfall

Tevin Campbell was abused and exploited, every adult that was around him during his teen years is culpable for his drug abuse. He was a minor and clearly was not protected and discarded when he wasn't useful. Also Prince should not have encouraged him to perform ssh as he was clearly uncomfortable.
He prince, reaped what he showed in the end.
Facts 👏🏿💯
PRINCE Was Secretly
Saying Those Words
Sherri Mcclarey How do you know this? Tevin said he sung it in a dark studio. Also why would that be an improvement upon my comment? Tevin was a minor. His album was marketed to teens (I’m a few years younger than Tevin). Prince was an adult can you explain what you meant? Thanks
My Comment was to Say
That Prince was wanting Tevin
To Feel That way as do Most
Abusers of Children push certain
Feelings on them even though not
Comfortable for the Child because
It is to make you open to suggested
Actions and Behaviors and Ready
You for the actual Intentions soon
To be Inflicted on you by the Abuser
Where was is mama when he was drinkin' and drivin' at the age of 14?? :(
Dez A You cannot be everywhere with your child!! But I agree there should’ve been more supervision especially in la
Alexandria Culver Yes! He had no business at these older celebs parties! Period and they knew it also back then!
Dez A Drunk in the House
Spending his money 💰!!!!
Teven was his Mothers golden calf. His Mother did not care about him or she. Would never have turned him over.
Yes Tevin confirmed what i clearly see in his face that some perverts got a hold of him and ruined Tevins innocense. It saddens me to know about it.
I believe he was gay anyway, but the toxicity of hollyweird made it worse, his freedom was making millions & going to weird parties at 14 years old! SHAME ON HIS PARENTS as well
Happens EVERY. DAMN. DAY.
@@Giselle_Glam594 that's alie

I'm surprised at Prince for giving a child Freak lyrics to sing!!! I love me some Prince but that was wrong on his part!! That's how I feel
@Heavenly Soundz Spiritual Beats Messiah Music The lyrics on the song were not age appropriate for Tevin at the time, Prince giving Tevin a song about "I'll do you like homework"? No! I don't think so.

Facts, and it is not even close. Tevin was a beast on the vocals...one of the absolute best to ever do it.
I think it's more than that.

How do you bring your child out to L.A. and fail to properly supervise them?
That part! Too busy shopping and spending the money I guess. 14 driving drunk and going to parties, like boy where is your momma?
Say that again
You have to wonder about the parent's motivation.
He was SOLD by his sorry ass parents. Period!
And why did quincy and all his other leaders allow him to drink, drive, fk, etc? No supervision and pure train wreck! Im glad he's still alive and well! Thank God!
He started hanging out with older people while still a teenager? He grew up too fast.
I was surprised but not at the same time. Why would you invite a 14 year old to an adult party especially without his parents being there?
@@JWill951 Benny Medina andQuincy probably passed him around like a party favor.
He had too.
Jarrad Williams Also why would his Mom allow him to go?? How much was she paid to sacrifice her son.
I think they helped him grow up fast too🤔
I still love Tevin and his music! He just did too much too young and got caught up. God is good, he's got his life back on track. I'm happy for him!
As I've said before, that industry is a mess. I'm glad to hear that he's doing alright. I wish Tevin all the best and hope that with maturity comes comfort and living a good life.
Yes he was way too young with not enough guidance 😟
@@rrg so true and it's sad because it's a common trend.
RealRealityGossip Like a lamb led to the slaughter. Just a crying shame. The devil seeks to kill and destroy.
I would love to hear him sing his classics at the BET Awards❤
Same
Me too, My heart was crushed by what happened to him. The fact that he made it as far as he did is a miracle. Anybody could have told him that once you get puffy' stink on you, your career is caput, but God is so faithful that he blessed him with the golden touch of Oprah. I'd love to see him perform on BET as well.
He still sounds amazing. Like seriously, still amazing.
I doubt he will...not because he doesnt want to...just for some odd reason every damn year BET honors new edition like there arent any other r&b groups or contributors to black music like damn they didnt honor Michael until after he died let that sink in
Yes!
Children feel shameful when touched, watched porn, and saw beastiality early and thats because there innocence know it's wrong. So drugs was his outlet to escape reality. Wow! Thanks mom. Fame was more important than kepping your child safe and in the presences of God. 😪
I don't think that is what is was in the beginning. We'd have to hear from him how he got started on drugs. He was partying with adults in Hollyweird. there is no other way to think of it...somebody gave him drugs and then they took advantage of him. All of those things are compounded. He grew up in church so he should know being gay is ungodly. Bless his soul...his book is one I am waiting to read.
I get what u, are sayin...I wouldn’t blame mom, bc she didn’t kno what came with it😢😢😢 I do believe things happened to him, that damaged him and confirmed him, manhood...It’s sad bc, fame was more important than keepin her, child safe in the presences of God...She probably regret it...but God. Yeah...Hollywood, make u, do some unholy, ungodly evil stuff 😢😢😢 make u, sleep with the same sex, etc
Beastiality??
@@sthembisomthembu395 right?! I was like where did that come from?
@@monicabanks1983 these things were happening for years in the music industry .. exploitation, sex, drugs alcohol. His mother knew exactly what she was pushing her son into. For peets sake she flew this child out to never never land after all those allegations. flooded the media. She was living her unfulfilled dreams through him. Damn the boy was never interested in being in the forefront. She paved the foundation for a challenged life.
i was a foreigner who grew up in malaysia as a teenager in the 90''s. Tevin's RnB songs were so popular, you can't get them out of your head. that's how far his music travelled
Those drugs aged him & took noticeable years off of him🤦🏾♂️
You mean drugs and gay sex aged him hard.
It's not drugs or being gay, gay or not you still age you won't look 16 when you are 43 it's not possible (not trying to start an argument)
@@trinitypreciadojacintho A few years back Tev looked really bad, sis. It was evident he had been doing drugs. It's kinda like Ralph Tresvant, whom I LOVE, but he looks pretty rough and got that one eye that squints tighter than the other just like Tevin. And it does something to their teeth. If they hadn't been on the drugs (and Ralph tries to keep his under wraps but it is evident), these things wouldn't appear as such. Both men have beautiful voices but Hollyweird destroys lives.
Edith Long Hahahahaha, aged him hard. Was that pun intended??!!
Ezechiel Auleus looks fucking terrible. Tacoma Washington
Going from Quincy Jones to Puffy Daddy as a mentor was where he went wrong.
They were just his producers. That's what made his albums start to flop...going from Quincy to Babyface to...Puff? Lol
They just passed him around a boy toy sad
@@beejoy6148 you're probably right
He started down the wrong road before Puff
Real talk. Puff ruined so many careers.
So where was his church mother when he was out and about at 14 years old. He was underaged and she should have kept a tighter reign on him. geesh
Somewhere spending his money
@@sharajohnson9116 SO TRUE SHAMEFUL
money that's what happen...
Tevin's music will definitely live on forever, he was such a great artist, its sad to see what the industry did to him at such a young and tender age.
"Can we talk"....Tevin is still my #1 male rnb singer🔥💯
"Shhhh" was my song tho! I knew he was to young to be singing those lyrics just like Aaliyah was singing with Kelly! These Parents never stopped that from happening.
Aaliyah's parents sacrificed her to the industry as well as her brother. The parents know exactly what happens beforehand
I had the album on audio cassette and always skipped past it
I was only 7
I couldn't listen to it 😂
They passed that boy around in Hollywood. And shut him down after he retaliated. His music is still amazing.
"I'm ready" and "Tell me what you want me to do" is my favorite songs by him but you cant sleep on "Dont say goodbye girl". That song right there is my ultimate Tevin fav. It's so sad what the industry did to him but at least he is still alive.
I've always been a Tevin supporter, I still have his music on my iPod i still listen to today. His voice is a true blessing. I love his unique name and honesty. I follow him on social media as well. He is so talented, he music industry can be cruel, I think for him, he did what was best at the time. Glad to see he's still happy and healthy:)
Same for me I look up to him he inspired me to start singing ppl say I look like him when he was a teen in the 90s which is crazy because we share the same bday month I'm Nov 5 Tevin is Nov 5 it's my dream to sing backup for him 1 day
@@wadner8119 Wow, that's wonderful.. Best of luck with your singing, never give up on your dreams. I'm sure you have a beautiful voice as well!
Where was his mama? Why would adults want a child at a party if they aren't planning on doing something to him? Reminds me of Drew Barrymore when her mother let her go to parties at 9. Very sad the music industry & hollywood are full of vampires who violate kids. God bless him.
Corey Haim..same thing..Cast & industry Parties get crazy back then and still today
They allow children because a pure nastiness a gwarn a dem place deh. It’s been said time and time again... that woman on housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle, said her mum would take her and her sister to industry parties all the time smh.. (Kyle and her sister Kim were on little house on the prairie when they were children) i feel sad for these children..
Wow, where was his mom while he was 14 years old and drunk driving? I feel bad for him because Lord only knows what he went thru at those adult house parties.
Where was his father?!
@ Good question also. Both parents failed to protect him.
Facts 👏🏿💯
Exactly
Spending his money
He put both his feet in “Can we talk”
Quincy Jones got ahold of him. That’s why he said he can’t and will never talk about what happened to him. Everybody knows Quincy had a thing for 2pac.
As soon as i heard quincy on this vid was like poor kid 🙁
simona kei I know. Ruined his life for his own selfish reason.
That's the part Im SCREAMIN" about, as has happened with many of Our Melanated people.......
💯
Eric Tranholm wtf get out of here
His music is classic!!! But far as being gay that is between him and god im not judging anybody.
Right...lmao
STFU IDIOT
No, it's between him and his partner. "God", Zeus, Thor, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster need to stay the fuck out of other people's bedrooms.
Exactly
@@wesmartin91 Hahahahaaa
*Hollywood executives are all booty ninjas, messing up young boys for deals. And it all happens during those house parties*
P. diddy is very famous for his "parties". Up to recently a famous instagram person went to one of his parties and went looking for a bathroom and ended up walking in a strange room with all men kissing up each other and Diddy was in another man's face too.

Booty ninjas lol that a new one 😂

He was so fine especially his “Can We Talk” days! 😩💚
So sad how the industry turned him out though.. smh
I never forgot about Tevin. Would love to hear him make simple beautiful songs without all the gimmicks of some of today's RnB music. Just would really like to hear his voice on pure well-arranged ballad type songs.
Names like Quincy Jones, Benny Medina, Russell Simmons and Puffy (gatekeepers to fame) continue to come up when there is tragedy in a person's life. Allegedly, this young man was sexually mangled by older men and he is still suffering from the trauma..wow
I agree!!!
Speak it! Tell it! You notice that too?
Exactly and it breaks my heart!
Benjamin Adams yes, I see so much pain in his eyes.
Yes Benjamin, say that! I never heard anything about Benny, but Quincy and Diddy definitely get 2 side eyes. I also blame parents who somehow leave their kids in the hands of predators like the ones you mentioned, all because of a check. Quincy's mom was abusive to him, and she was mentally ill according to his Netflix Doc, so I believe that he internalized that pain only to unleash it onto others that he had control over including Michael. Look how he treated all those Becky's that he married.
Why is it when people work with Diddy after Biggie's death, their career fails to thrive?
Riqochet Rose Tarot it’s because Diddy has bad karma, and is a demonic Jezebel, with no redeeming qualities. He is bad news, unfortunately! 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂.Cheers mates!
Cuzz he steal there destiny
because he had somthing to do with diggie's death!
Because biggie made puffy not the other way around
Riqochet Rose Tarot right. Also with new edition
Quincy Jones turned him out. Sad 😞

Me too!
YES YES YES !!!!
So did Quincy and Benny Medina LMAO 😂 😂😂 😂🏳️🌈🙊🌈🌈🌈👬🤫🔥🔥🔥
My top 3 of Tevin Campbell:
1. Can we talk
2. Ready
3. Brown eyed girl
Also
Tomorrow
Always in My Heart
Alone With You
What Do I Say and Don't Say Goodbye are top ones for me
He coulda been huge. HUGE. He was part of my life growing up in the early 90s which were the best days of my childhood life. Everytime I hear "Tell me what you want me to do" by Tevin it brings such wonderful memories back.
Everyone knows that our fellow brothers in the music industry are bi or tri sexual but try to pretend bejng alpha males only into women
FACTS
MrCitizen0 they are very gay and the men sleep around with each other.
LadyIsTheChamp exactly. Daddy, Usher., 50......all of them.
Larose Murphy they ah e to sleep with men to get to a certain level.
they may be your brothers but NOT mine ✋🏿😷
I hope he get back to his music, he needs a comeback.
Pibb McKnight - yeah right! People are so evil, all they’ll talk about is him being gay.
He’s made his mark!
@@thatbemefool,I know and thats not right, they should be focus on the music.
He's definitely young enough.
I'm waiting!
No, not of the music of today. All that will happen is that it will be full of autotune stupidness.
"Brown Eyed Girl" , "Can we talk" and "Round and Round" 🔥
Listen to Uncle Sam sad its still relevant today
Brown Eye girl 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
He's one of the most amazing male vocalist of our time. That is all.
I’m surprised “ I’m ready” wasn’t more popular. I loved that song.
Tevin is a 90’s R&B Legend💯
For real 🙌🏾💙
Yes!
"Always in my heart" & "I'm ready" & "Can we talk" all jams give a 👍 if you still listen to these songs in 2019
Damn this just broke my heart…ppl can be so cruel to someone who is already cruel to themselves….praying he receives whatever love he needs!!
I wonder if his mother REGRETS putting her son in the SNAKE PIT?! 🤦♀️🐍👹
Naw it's all about money
She didn't know....but yes she do.
Probably not...
Money
She's probably a member of the occult. All these famous people are connected.

Most people who abuse drugs usually has experienced some form of physical or sexual trauma in their childhood. I'm sure he has been through a lot.
Chella GaGurl that's what happens when we put our children in the spotlight an dnt try our very best to monitor them, his speech he made about wanting to be bigger than m. Jackson they show him that this is the route u ofto take smh, go back to Jesus he can wash away your sins an make you whole again
Chella GaGurl yes n claim to be gay like the predator without getting help from the trauma falling victim to say he is gay now. He needs help then he can claim wht he is
sometimes i think a former big artist should just come out and do a tell all on abuse by these producers. Whats there to lose when you are so broken like that?
Good for you you’re not on any drugs. Plenty do, and maybe their trauma was worse than yours? Who knows. Just because you can say you didn’t go that route it just makes you the exception and not the rule.
Addiction also can run in one’s family.
😌🎶 "Can we talk?"
For a minute 💃🏾
Boy I want to know your name!
@@thatgirizfly you childish asf😂
Who remember he was in the movie the goofy movie
😊💃🏾🎶
Despite his struggles and his absence for so many years, I'm so glad to see he's still around and from the clips I've seen he still has that amazing voice.
Tell me what you want me to do is still one of my all time favorite songs. I love Tevin and I am so glad he is back on track. Drugs and alcohol can really throw you off track. I started at 16 due to a rocky home life. I have been clean and sober 4 1/2 years now and my life is the best it's ever been. Tevin was a Hollywood tragedy, like so many, but he turned his life around and I think that is awesome. So many kids die or keep using all their lives. It's sad, very sad.
I am happy for him!! Now, he just needs to return to the Lord to lift Him up with his voice!
He will have to stop practicing homosexuality.
We have to pray for him because society is forcing people to accept it.
Why god didn't protect this child when they were passing his a$# around like an offering basket? Whereeeeee??
@@Asubuhiwallahi you obviously never studied the Bible if you did you wouldn't ask a stupid question like this. You already have made up your mind that you don't want to believe in The Most High and is too lazy and hateful to study the Bible to seek answers of why The Most High allows wickedness.

Agreed! It sounds like something bad happen to this young man and drugs were his outlet. There are plenty of monsters in the entertainment world and they prey on the innocent. Finally, his mother failed her son because it was her job to protect him from these beast.

I did cry watching this, it's unbelievable that such a great talent never reached his potential... I love his voice, it's like Alexander O'Neal, never came around again...
I remember that nasty azz song on Tevin's album. His career tanked because he was marketed as a cute, clean cut, little boy. Then all of a sudden he is singing these adult, sexually explicit songs. He was too young for those songs. Where was his choir singing mother during all of this? His father? I liked some of Prince's music, but really? Tevin was too young to be in that lane. He had a home run with "Can We Talk?". He could have eased up to the more provacative music as he got older. Maybe it's me but I cannot listen to children singing about freaking me on a table after school.
I think Can we talk, always in my heart, I’m Ready was okay. Those three songs seen age appropriate. Shh was the problem
No really. I see a lot of people who love "Shh" but I just can't listen to it. It just doesn't feel right :(
@@darrylcarter3691 Totally agree. That song was too adult for him. It gave me the creeps listening to it. Who knows what went on in that studio while recording it? I have friends in the entertainment business including actors, singers, musicians, writers, publicists, producers, and recording engineers, etc. This can be a dirty business.
@@rickyradebe Right. Where were his parents? They should have stepped in and stopped that. I know someone who was a child singer who blew up in their teens and stayed on top until their twenties. I don't want to reveal too much because people can guess who they are. The stories that they have told me about me those studio recording sessions and the producers.
