Tevin Campbell is on top of the world! If Soulja Boy had the best comeback of 2018, 2019 may go to Tevin.

It was just last summer when Awesomely Luvvie tried to come for Tevin…

And Black Twitter, including Wale, Missy Elliott and Ava DuVernay, came to his defense promptly!

Lord have we gotten so far way from real R&B that people done forgot real sanging & questioning who @tevincampbelll is😳 Tevin had bops before y’all was saying Issa bop😂 pic.twitter.com/i8bFubzE6C

Well, not only did Tevin get his flowers that day, but the “Can We Talk” singer is still reaping the benefits now — Ava made good on her word and put TC in a “Queen Sugar” episode.

Campbell announced the news on Twitter saying, “I’m on the set of Queen Sugar, baby,” while showing off the director’s chair with the show titled emblazoned on it. “This is so exciting for me and I want to thank Ava DuVernay. She’s a doer and she kept her word,” Tevin stated. The 42-year-old, who was barely able to contain his excitement, also thanked the cast for making him feel welcome.
