This week—and I want credit for not reporting on it—a guy got on the internet and started spilling some serious “tea” about Eddie Murphy and Johnny Gill. According to him, he went to a Hollywood party and saw the singer and the actor kissing. He described it in such graphic detail that, honestly, it almost felt believable. It was beyond mind-boggling.
Now, let’s be real—rumors like this have floated around for years. That’s nothing new. But the way this man laid it out added a weird layer of credibility to it. Still, I kept it moving and didn’t post it here. Why? I think this yellow journalism is not journalism at all.
@tipstea_ Not Flash catching Eddie Murphy & Johnny Gill kissing… just Hollywood behavior?! 😭 #fyp #armonwiggins #armonwigginsshow #flash #diddy #seancombs #foryourpage #viralvideo #viraltiktok #trending #diddytrial #cassie #cassandra #cassandraventura #diddytrial #diddytrial2025 #diddytrialupdate #news #media #foryoupage
Fast-forward to today.
Johnny Gill has officially responded to the claim that he and Eddie Murphy were romantically involved. And let me tell you—this is not the “My, My, My” Johnny. This is gangsta Johnny. And gangsta Johnny is not here for the games. He clapped back with such explicit heat that now nobody knows what to believe. Johnny Gill is out here talking wild.
Check out what he said for yourself.
So, what do you think?
As for me? I think we need to let certain things be. All this gossip and “tea” on Instagram has gotten out of hand. I don’t understand why going viral is the gold standard for success in media now. Everyone wants to expose someone.
Everyone wants attention. Everyone wants to be relevant. But chasing clout at someone else’s expense? It’s tired. Whether something happened between Eddie Murphy and Johnny Gill back in the day—or if nothing ever happened at all—it’s not our business. And honestly, it never was.
