Grammy-nominated R&B star Tevin Campbell seemingly opened up about his sexuality on Twitter. The 45-year-old artist responded to a Twitter user who was talking about the sexuality of some well-known musicians on Tuesday.
“My mom keeps telling me Luther Vandross, Teddy Pendergrass, and Tevin Campbell were gay,” the fan wrote on Twitter, according to Out.
Campbell responded with two words, but later deleted his reply, Out reports.
“Tevin is,” the singer wrote in response to the tweet, adding the rainbow flag and sunglasses emojis.
Another fan, who responded to the now deleted-response, said “Congratulations on our soon-to-be ban from the state of Florida!”
Campbell responded to the fan, who was likely referring to the state’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which aims to ban classroom discussion of sexuality and gender identity for some grade levels, according to Out.
“I’ll live,” Campbell said in response to the Twitter user.
Congratulations on our soon-to-be ban from the state of Florida! 🥂
