Johnny Gill on V103 in Chicago Part II (02/22/08)
Full interview at: v103.com/pages/dougBanks.html?_show. Shout out to S.James for the link.
Does anyone care about this? As he said, Eddie doesn’t care what tthe rumors are, so why is he talking about this again. Johnny has already said that he is “all man”…whatever that means. Give it a rest Johnny.
I never thought Johnny was gay untill I seen a VH1 Soul special on New Edition the way he was talking and moving his mouth and hand movements he is gay! I’ll pray for him.
Good Grief…give it a rest my people…if they are gay, so the hell what…if they aren’t gay, so the hell what…who cares?
@#33/Nigeria, I know a lot of gay people w/kids!! That makes me laugh when people say how can some1 be gay when they have a son/daughter?? That has nothing to do w/sexual orientation, cause one thing/person can make some1 turn one way or the other. Just depends on what they are feeling. I thought the interview was funny, cause that was soooo planned for him to say something to his son in the background, lol
i think they make a cute couple
#51 go fuck yo daddy like im sure you have done before!!
I remember awhile ago where Johnny was being interviewed and he became very upset because his sexuality was being questioned. Johnny stated that his sexuality has nothing to do with his music. I found the interview to be a little evasive to say the least. I also find it strange that a straight black heterosexual male pierces his nipples.
I can guarantee you that #51 is a red neck hillbilly scum. Who wants to bet!? Lol. Dumbass. Yeah sure all African American women are dumb. Assholes like you deserve to put away, and to never see the light of day again. Asswipe.
Yeah, but if Eddie and Johnny are getting it, DO WE REALLY CARE? I know I don’t. Just sang Johnny, sang!
As for Tracy, well, maybe it’s a good thing they called it quit but hey, I DON’T REALLY CARE ABOUT THAT EITHER, Just sang Johnny, sang!
@ WOW, I somewhat disagree because one you putting us, black women, who not even like that in all one category.I know for one I’m not like what you typed because I know better.You won’t find it just in black women, you find it in all women.And to tell you the truth, the reason why in your theory you think that black women are dumb in relationships is because we not about to sit and “pay” for love.Most women “pay” for love because they insecure.Giving dudes, 360s,computers,laptops,credit cards,letting them borrow their cars while their ass is not insured,speakers,ipods,disrespect them in public,call them names,cheat on them and they still get treated like puppy dogs.That is true story, happen to a friend of mine.Told her don’t do it, but guess what now?They not even together, we don’t talk because “I told her so,” and now her ex is doing it to some other broad and guess what now happens, they having issues because he is playing her like he did with my friend.Oh and they happen to be white.But I date (lol how old is that?) the educated men, but that don’t make them any better either.Just letting you know because you make another general broad statement.Maybe it’s just in your area.So your analysis is false.
I WISH HE WOULD LEARN HOW TO SPEAK WITHOUT THE STUDDERING, AND THE STUMBLING OVER HIS WORDS… DAMN…
@ #51…… all I’ve gotta say is WOW!! LMFAO!!! Sounds like you hit a few folks buttons with the “bastard” children statement! Personally, I’m not offended because I don’t fall into that category!
But Johnny sounded “GAYER” than a $3 dollar bill in that interview. I wish there was a video too… cause I pictured him with his hands going all over the place while talking… I thought I detected a lisp too. He definitely is a great singer.. but he’s gay! Whether with Eddie or not… He’s FLAMING!!
You know, who really needs to listen to the audio at this point??? The writing has been on the wall for years….those who cannot read it or see it, or simply blind and obiviously in denial. Eddie and Johnny are lover’s…period point blank. They are on the downlow, translation: gay and in deeply in the closet. Come on, let’s do some math here……Here you have Johnny Gill, once a star in his own right, ‘living’ in Eddie Murphy’s ‘guest house’ on his estate…wtf??!! If Johnny was going thru a rough patch financially then so be it….but damn, his a** has been in that guest house for a minute now, I don’t think he will ever leave. And why should he…Eddie is his man. Tracey can leave…but Johnny? He ain’t goin’ nowhere, he will stay his overgrown black a** in that guest house. I mean, Johnny Gill is a grown man, a father at that, what type of grown man is CONTENT living in another’s mans guest house???? There’s gotta be something to be said about that…right people? You know, so many people unfornately have grown up in homes without father’s or have not had strong male figures around, and they may have no idea on what is wrong with this picture. Then again maybe they do…because life is a teacher if you pay attention. But those of you that are aware of how real men move, this ain’t it….two grown a** men, both are father’s, and both have money….and they are living that close together for no reason. Hmmm?? Something in the milk ain’t clean. I mean Johnny might not be ballin’ out of control money wise, but damn, he ain’t broke…..he could get his own place. But anyway, it’s being in ‘Eddie’s World’ that even keeps Johnny Gill relavent in the first place, Johnny is one step from being ‘washed-up’, and it’s not for lack of having a dynamic voice….it’s because this muthaf**ka ain’t ‘hungry’….he’s TOO CONTENT being Eddie’s bottom b**ch. You want to know who’s the bottom,good people? Johnny is obviously the bottom…he is the b**ch in the relationship, just look at his flamboyant clothes. Johnny Gill is obiviously intouch with his feminine and sensual side…much like that of a woman, just check out the reds and pinks you will often see him in. The dangling jewlry pieces, diamond encrusted sun glasses, gaudy accessories ( belt buckles, shoes and hats) and you should know: Gay!! All day long…straight up and down…Johhny can’t even control the sh*t no more and some of yall’ still can’t see it! I don’t get that. So moving forward, Johnny has said Eddie is like a ‘big brother’ and his ‘best friend’….Eddie is obivously the one in control here, he is the mentor..the one holding the purse strings…he has the money and the influence. But don’t sleep, Johnny must be rocking Eddie’s world, because Eddie got Johnny exactly where he wants him and where he can keep tabs on Johnny. Eddie needs to be a top priority in Johnny’s life, that’s why Johnny’s career has stalled…because of d**k control, there can be only one star here and someone needs to be acessible at all times! And let’s not forget when Eddie was busted picking up a transvestite..and he denied that he knew that’ s what he/she was. That transvestite was somoian, the are genetically big people…as far as height, and stature. Eddie no good and g*tdamn well that wasn’t no woman! Everyone in Los Angeles knows that if you on the ’strip’ at that time of night, ain’t nothin’ but prositution goin’ on, street walker’s and transvestites…Eddie was on the prowl. And I should also add that that transvestite was talking to the tabloids about Eddies foot fetish and about how he propositioned her/he….well, the transvestite (bless her heart) ended up dead not to long after it was splashed around in the tabloids. She supposedly fell out of a window, or from a roof….or something like that, but don’t mark my words on that one, not sure. What I do know is, that her/his death was considered ‘accidental’ ….and in my opinion, I think there was foul play….someone wanted her/him to stop talking to the press. So it looks like Eddie has wised up and realized that prowling for streetwalker’s is too risky for someone like him, a high profile actor…so as a result, he now has Johnny right there on the ‘grounds’ , that way he will never have to risk his career again because he needs his ‘fix’ at 1am in the morning…he can just walk across the patio on over to Johnny’s guest house. (lamo) This is an education here folks! And don’t let Eddie’s marriage cloud your vision…his career and wanting to have a family, have nothing to do with the fact that he sexually speaking, prefers d**k on occasion. Bottom line. Johnny is content with this arrangement, because like any woman who loves her man, her place is with him. Tracey is a smart, and cunning woman….don’t feel sorry for her. She knew what time it was with BabyFace and she knew what time it was with Eddie. Deep down she knew…ain’t she a woman? Woman have that sixth sense, they feel things deeply…they bring life into this world and they can ‘pretend’ very well. Tracey sold her soul for the fame, lifestyle and to finance her own professional ambitions. She knew exactly what she was getting involved with, I think at the end of the day, there can be only one puppet master pulling the strings, and between Eddie’s ego and control AND Johnny’s mean d**k game, she didn’t stand a chance. Let’s face it, Eddie is no BabyFace….and Tracey likes to be in charge..she wants it to be about her. Tracey was probably willing to fall back a little, because Eddie would have done wonder’s for her professional ambitions, but at the end of the day, I think she probably bit off more than she could chew or mentally digest for that matter. She under estimated the power of d**k. So there you have it ladies and gentlemen, if you cannot put two and two together after this….there is no hope for you, you are eternally blind to downlow at it’s finest! Church!!
Since there’s two Nichole’s I’ll change my name to Nichole261…I’m post #40 and not 68…not like anyone probably cares..:)
they look good together
LOL @ Tracey calling Eddie’s mom a rat…smh that is just all types of wrong…lol
no words!
I guess Tracey learned what Teena Marie learned a long time ago; Eddie’s mother comes first.
I see the habitual bastard spawners all came out of the woodworks. Say what you want, but you can never dispute the fact that about 75% of black American mothers are out there shitting out illegitimate babies thinking it’s cute. They’re creating a cancerous cycle, and it is not good. Either they’re too emotionally immature to maintain healthy, stable relationships or they’re just dumb and self-destructive.
Yes, a majority of black American men are equally worthless. But the very worst
of them are the most loved by black American women. Idiotic, low self-esteem women raise them and numb, mentally bankrupt women encourage their behavior. No person can ever look me in the face and say that on the average, black American women approach relationships (and life in general) as intellectually and emotionally mature as other women. That’s why they’re losing. Numbers don’t lie.
lol @ some idiot calling me a hillbilly. Self-criticism is the first step toward maturity. Listen to DIVA for example. If she was sleeping with a DL dude, do you think he would be honest with her — with that dense, ingorant attitude? Don’t kill the messenger.
@ NICHOLE261, I knew you made too much sense in #40 to sound borderline retarded in #68.
@ #70 SHARONDA I didn’t mean to generalize. I’m speaking in terms of trends. And I have to make a clear distinction here. Blacks of non-American origin are way
ahead of blacks here in terms of dignity and self respect.
I love Johnny Gill. I don’t care what people claim about him. He will be singing at my wedding. I will belive he is gay when I see a clear video. I don’t feed into gossip or people’s opinion.
I want to know why it’s so hard for people to believe that 2 black successful men can be Friends, I mean look at Ben and Matt, George and Brad, Leo and Toby etc…… YOU DON’T SEE THE WHITE FOLK QUESTIONING THEM, DAMN!!!!!!!!
@78
YOU ARE A DUMB ASS BASTARD SPITTING OUT OPINIONS BASED OFF YOUR PREJUDICE BIASES…..IF YOU INDEED CHECK YOUR FACTS, YOU’LL SEE THAT THE NEW MINORITY AND ONES SPITTING OUT COUNTLESS CHILDREN ARE HISPANICS! THEY ARE HAVING CHILDREN AT A MUCH LARGER RATE THAN BLACK AMERICANS….SO TAKE YOUR IGNORANCE AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR FLAT ASS BITCH!
AND FOR THE RECORD WHORE, WHITE BITCHES KILL THEIR BABIES, AT LEAST BLACK WOMEN ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN TO LIVE, WHITE WOMEN AT A MUCH LARGER RATE, HAVE ABORTIONS AND TRY TO KILL THE EVIDENCE OF THEIR INFIDELITIES….SO WHAT IF BLACK WOMEN HAVE A TRAIL OF 5 BABIES FOLLOWING THEM; WHITE WOMEN MAY NOT HAVE A TRAIL OF 5 LIVING BABIES, BUT BEST BELIEVE 5 CASKETS ARE FOLLOWING THEM AROUND IN THEIR HEADS…..SO WHAT DOES YOUR THEORY PROVE???? NOT A GAT-DAMN THING BUT YOUR OWN IGNORANCE AND PREJUDICE…..YOU CANNOT GAGE THE INTELLIGENCE OF WOMEN ON HOW MANY “BASTARD” CHILDREN THEY HAVE; THAT’S JUST STUPID ON YOUR PART. YOU ARE CLEARLY A RACIST BASTARD COMING ON A MAJORITY BLACK BLOG SPITTING OUT SHIT….HILLBILLY IS TOO GOOD A NAME FOR YOU, AT LEAST HILLBILLIES HAVE HILLBILLY SENSE, YOU HAVE NO SENSE…
NOW I’M GOING TO REPEAT THIS…..PLEASE GET YOUR FLAT ASS UP, GO INTO THE KITCHEN, PULL OUT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THERE, AND REPEATEDLY STAB YOUR MONKEY ASS IN THE NECK UNTIL YOU LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS, NO ONE WILL MISS YOUR DUMB IGNORANCE AFTER YOU HAVE PASSED INCLUDING YOUR MAMA…DAMN SHAME SHE WASN’T ONE OF THEM WOMEN WHO ABORTED YOUR ASS. LOL
I knew these mofos were gay, Jhonny and Eddie been wearing mo mac gloss on dey shiny lips than I would ever dream of!!! More power to the “kids”!!
I’ve been a New Edition, Johnny Gill/Stacy Lattisaw fan from my childhood days so I’m going to fall back on this one. I also personally know Tracey and will just keep my mouth closed on that situation or i could be in BIG trouble, LOL! Say what you will about Eddie but he has never chased the spotlight. He avoids the media and tries to keep his private life separate. I can respect him for that.
Also #55 GreatestLoveOfAll–you need to check out some of the other blogs that post regularly about Madonna and JLo–hate is all around! People tear them apart as well. It’s not just this site!
Please ignore WOW, he is obviously ignorant and needs attention. If black women are loosing the black man is worse off because they are beneath black women in everything.
I’m not convinced yet!
People are going to think he’s gay regardless,so why keeping worrying about it!
Only he and God knows the truth. Just because he has a “stable”of women-his words NOT mine) doesn’t mean anything. Just because he has a child(ren) doesn’t mean he’s not gay! He is 40 years old-he should be worrying baout other things…….
I think it is really sad that a man’s word is not enough in this world. It seems to be a trend in the Black community to put others down. I don’t believe in the homosexual lifestyle, however you will never hear or see me putting someone down for his/her choice. God gives us free will. It breaks my heart to see how harsh many of these blogs are towards African Americans from African Americans. We then wonder why these precious children are growing up with such hatred in their hearts. People when are we going to wake up. The bottom line is the Man said they are friends then they are. There’s no crime in that. It’s not like we haven’t seen guys thick as thieves before. Second if the WORLD was saying things to hurt you, your kids, family and friends at some point you may go to the breaking point of lie detector too! I feel so sad for African American males who can’t deal with their feelings of wanting to be with a man or sneaking while they’re lying up with females. You people make life harder than it should be. Didn’t anybody ever teach you IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY……DON’T SAY ANYTHING!!! There’s power in the tongue……It’s in WORD!!!! Bottom line….Johnny Gill is an Awesome artist and Eddie Murphy is an Icon.
I never and still don’t believe Eddie or Johnny are gay or bisexual…. and if they are so what! What diff does it make about thier sexuality and if they come out of the closet or not! It’s their closet and it seems like everyone wants to jump in and get a peek!!
If you leave it up to the mags everyone in the industry is gay or bisexual. Good for Eddie for not giving a rat’s ass!
#51 your “stark honest observation” is amongest the most ignorant of all the comments I have read thus far on ConcreteLoop. It’s your opinion and you are entitled and it just proves there is still a great deal of stupidity, ignorance and racism amongst us. I doubt you have responded to your “African American” friends in that manner and are still able to call them “friends”
Something is going on between the two.
My, My, My….
Whatever TOOTS YOUR SKIRT.
MAN LAW:
Him and Eddie are way toooooo close.
Give each other some space.
leave them mens alone already. their personal lives is none of our business.
You guys are killing me with the “Tracy’s a gold digger” posts….She has her own money…dang!!! She is the president of Edmonds Entertainment Group and Yab Yum Music…..she has had many great accomplishments with both companies…and before she met Babyface whe owned her own Realty Company….so it doesn’t seem like she was ever hurting for money….and besides I don’t blame her….If I had alot of cheddar I wouldn’t want to marry no brokity broke neither….
First and foremost let me start by saying to all those that keep yelling if they are gay Who Cares?? Ok what about the women that are sleeping with these men , I’m sure they care,I mean did you forget what DL actually is??? If they want to be gay hey more power to them BUT when you’re jeopardizing others health and life by lying to cover your ass then yes your ass should be EXPOSED for what you really are! Thats is the big deal here for all the dummies who dont seem to understand! And for all the PRO BLACK comments about how we as a people quick to tear down black men MAN GROW UP and take a look around! It used to be that a woman had to deal with other homewrecking ass WOMEN now its the MEN we have ti take a second look at why because this DL shit is some shit they created NOT US WOMAN yeah we really want our men to fuck MEN!! This aint no shit we made up its these confused nasty ass men like these two!! In 90% of the movies he play he has on more make up then the damn females! Boomerang, Harlem Nights, come on now come on and nobody thought them tight ass leather suits didnt seem suspect to no one yeah it was the 80′s but still and them songs he made the video for put your mouth on me get the fuck outta here they both GAY as hell plain and simple! Johnny is from my hometown (MD) when this came it was nothing new to us so yall can swim in “DENIAL” if ya want
Agreed. I mean this idiot has to be the biggest fucking retard on this site. A borderline retard? No, bitch. That’s what your mother was diagnosed with when she mistakingly had you. What a fucking stereotype. Just like #82 said, this moron needs to check his, or her facts. I don’t even understand why CL didn’t delete such harsh comments. Talk about being biased against African American women.
Get a life.
It’s funny how all of you keep saying you can’t be gay and have kids; I mean they may be bisexual. Gay men have kids all day long! And as for Johnny, I remember a couple years back he was interviewed by Sister2Sister I wanna say and they brought up his sexuality (this was during the time he was linked to Janet Jackson) and he said his sexuality was no one’s business which is true. And honestly you don’t keep hearing the same rumors over decades and it has no truth to it. There is some truth to it: just like with Michael Jackson (there is some truth to it). Also, the gay performers in Hollywood know who each other are; but of course they are going to support each other and hide the truth and a lot of the females they are with know the truth but enough money can shut up a whole lot of people.
“When my black American female friends ask me why other women are doing better in relationships, I tell them the truth: Because you’re simply dumber than other women. If you’re losing, you either: (1)Suck at the game or (2) Are too dumb to keep up. Most don’t even take the time to reflect on my stark honest observation, which only further proves my point.”
This is your truth. It isn’t fact. One thing I will agree with, those women are indeed stupid because they actually asked you for advice. Either that or they needed a good laugh because you crack me up!
@WOW
No love lost. Please move on. *still wondering why you were here in the first place*
@WOW
You didn’t bother to read the responses otherwise you wouldn’t have made those comments. Most women/people on this board think these men are straight. Something you want to tell us?
“@ #51…… all I’ve gotta say is WOW!! LMFAO!!! Sounds like you hit a few folks buttons with the “bastard” children statement! Personally, I’m not offended because I don’t fall into that category! ”
Everyone should be offended by this comment. We are talking about somebody’s child here. Insults should be kept between adults. There is no need to stoop that low.
@ #51, let me guess, your a black woman?
Wasn’t Eddie arrested at least two times for picking up Trannies, if so that doesn’t seem like something a “straight” man would do?
# 51 You got issues you need to deal with. Sounds like black women who put u in your place you can’t deal with, and how does what you were saying have anything to do with the interview with Johnny.
@5 Are you serious? Johnny Gill looks gay, of course he isn’t going to deny it!
Enough with all the craziness and I seriously doubt that it’s true. Ya’ll can say whatever ya’ll want to say or whatever ya’ll want to think. Eddie Murphy is the most funniest sucessfull comedians in the world he truly is a legend. Also, legendary Jonny Gill is one of the most talented gifted singers we ever had. Don’t nobody got nothing on his voice. Enough of all that they don’t have to proove anything to anybody their true fans love them no matter what despite the rumors.
#100 Finally You hit it on the head.
That is one self-hating black woman and unquestioningly not of African American descent.
I feel sorry for you, WOW, because in your defense you really believe that non-blacks make the distinction in their minds when they interact with you and you agree with their blanket statements regarding “some” black women.
You will look better and be treated better when you act empowered and stand for “all” black women and not just for yourself. Character shows through black skin.
You really believe that when you and the two white women you consider friends part company for the day or the evening that you have been included in all of their reindeer games? Ask them how many times have they been to each other’s homes and compare it to the number of invites you have received to date. You are going to find that though they have both been ” all up and through” you have been left watching through the gates of their community.
You have a wealth of intellect, but your character is bankrupt. Church
