Craig David Sexuality
Since the singer has been single for most of his music career or doesn’t put his relationship in the public domain there has been speculations that he might be gay to clear up the air he told ‘The Sun’, “I leave it
very open because at the end of the day it’s one of those things where I shouldn’t have to reinforce and state, ‘No, I’m a heterosexual’ — because that’s all nonsense.”
“I think it’s very evident in the way my songs are and how I speak about relationships so I wouldn’t even go into it. It’s like if that’s what you feel it’s what you feel,” he added. “The only person that it really matters is the relationship that I’m in and I know, I know.”
“I feel in the sense that if you’re heterosexual, if you’re bisexual, if you’re gay, if you’re a lesbian, if you’re transgender, whatever the vibe is, that’s what you represent. I’ve always found it quite strange that we
always like to try and define people and say this is how it is and this is how it should be.”
“That’s one of the things that the internet and social media have really opened up and allowed. People have got a voice now. We’ve got to stop the nonsense now and open it up.”

Craig David surprised to find fan playing his debut album at remote shop in Costa Rica
Updated: 21 May 2018
Craig David Popped into a remote, ramshackle convenience store to grab supplies in Costa Rica – and found the owner playing his debut CD.
The multi-platinum-selling and award-winning artist, 37, was walking along a trail on the way to film an acoustic set in a rainforest when he spotted the tiny shop. Eager to grab some water for the last leg of the trip the team wandered in only to discover the owner was a Craig David fan.
David revealed the bizarre moment as he was interviewed ahead of a surprise one-off gig for staff on a cruise ship.
He said: ‘’It was madness, the guy recognised me when I walked in.
‘’He was going ‘Noooooo – I can’t believe it’. He only had three CDs – and mine was one of them.
‘’It was a crazy moment. We were on our way to a rainforest. It was the last place on the planet I expected to hear my songs being played.’’
David, whose new single “Magic” is receiving critical acclaim, is enjoying a huge renaissance and has amassed an army of younger fans since he returned home from Miami two years ago.
In March, the singer surprised London commuters when he performed an acoustic version of his hit song “7 Days” along with the new single from top 10 album The Time Is Now.
He was filmed performing for passengers on a double-decker bus as it drove through London.
In the footage he can be seen waiting at a bus stop with his guitarist where he says to the camera: “What we’re going to do is we’re going to jump on the bus and give the passengers a little private performance -low-key – we’re just going to freestyle it.”
