<p>After Gerald Levert passed away in November of 2006 from an accidental overdose of prescription meds and over-the-counter meds, everyone was wondering how Eddie, who was extremely close to his son, would be able to go on. But 14 months later in March of 2008, the unthinkable happened when Eddie&#8217;s other son, Sean Levert, died from withdrawals from the anxiety med, Xanax, while in police custody for non-payments of child support. After that, friends and fans alike became even more concerned about how Eddie and his ex-wife, Martha, (Sean and Gerald&#8217;s mom) would be able to keep on keeping on.</p>
<p>A few years ago, Eddie opened up to The Plain Dealer and Ebony about how he&#8217;s been coping with Gerald and Sean&#8217;s death. He also manned up and willingly admitted where he feels he went wrong as a father to them. Here are excerpts from those interviews.</p>
<h2>On his sons&#8217; untimely deaths</h2>
<figure style="width: 418px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/10/ee/a2/10eea2f699172cd11f088272f19c6587.jpg" width="418" height="324" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">(L-R) Sean Levert, Eddie Levert, Gerald Levert</figcaption></figure>
<blockquote><p>Eddie Levert: “If it wasn’t supposed to be, it wouldn’t have happened. I wish I could tell you that I had a sense of why, but I don’t. I still wonder: Was it something I did? Maybe that’s why I’ve made so many changes in my life, to better myself and try to be a better father, a better husband, a better friend. Maybe that’s the reason why: for me to come to a better place. But I can’t dwell on it. It becomes very emotional for me. It gets to a place where . . . [he pauses and his voice cracks] &#8230; I really miss them. It’s just hard. But I can’t get caught up in the fact that it wasn’t supposed to be like this, because it happened. -The PlainDealer</p></blockquote>
<h2>How He Copes</h2>
<p>During his process of grieving, Eddie credits his religious faith with helping him to cope with his heartache:</p>
<blockquote><p>Via TPD: “I read the Book of Job. He lost everything. I didn’t lose everything. I lost two sons. It’s not trivial. But compared to somebody who lost their whole family &#8212; do you understand? &#8212; I was left something. God is still great. I kept praying to God, and God kept giving me strength. I had days when I blubbered like a baby, just crying. I still have those moments. But I have a purpose now.”</p></blockquote>
<p><iframe title="Wind Beneath My Wings" width="858" height="644" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wSxblTzc53M?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The music and memories Eddie has of performing with his sons, are what ultimately get him through day by day:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The music has always been healing. With Gerald and Sean, the times we had together onstage are some of the greatest moments of my life, man. The times that I was onstage with them doing ‘Casanova’ or ‘Baby Hold on to Me’ or ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ &#8212; to me, those are priceless.</p>
<p>Even now, when I go and perform those songs by myself, they’re medicine. The most therapeutic time I have in my whole life is that hour and a half that I do onstage. Because for an hour and a half, I don’t think about nothing but the music. Don’t think about the pain in my knees. Don’t think about the pain in my back. Don’t think about how I feel bad. All of that goes away as soon as I start doing that music.&#8221; [TPD]</p></blockquote>
<h2>On His Regrets</h2>
<p>Eddie admitted his personal struggles when raising his two sons bak in the day:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;When Gerald and Sean passed away, I wanted to really blame myself because I felt like it was some things I could’ve kept them from seeing that I did in my life, as a father. You know what I’m saying? People say, ‘You’re a great dad,’ and all of that, but I’m a person, too, you know?</p>
<p>I used to take them on the road with me, because it was my wife’s chance to get her break. I’d take the kids for the summer and she’d be able to get off into her ministry as being one of Jehovah’s witnesses. She was a great woman; she just had a rotten man. You know? And I can speak of that guy as being a rotten man because he didn’t know what he had and he didn’t know who he was or what he should’ve been doing. It was ignorance. I had to learn. [Ebony]</p></blockquote>
<p>Sean and Gerald have unfortunately transitioned on, but they have left their father with one of the greatest gifts anyone could ask for- the gift of wisdom.</p>

<p>This year (2022) it will be 16 years since the world lost one of the most fire R&amp;B singers to ever grace the music game, Gerald Levert, and yet there still new interesting facts that surface about him from time to time. This time around, it&#8217;s his biracial daughter that many never knew about and what her new career is.</p>
<p>Up until now many of us, <strong>Gerald Levert</strong> fans, only knew of two of his children, but it&#8217;s really cool to see his other daughter who has grown up and become a beautiful, ambitious young lady. If her Gerald were here today, he would be beaming with pride over her now. See what we mean below&#8230;</p>
<h2>MEET CAMRYN LEVERT &#8211; GERALD&#8217;S DAUGHTER WITH HER  DADDY&#8217;S TALENT</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure style="width: 564px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/bc/14/ab/bc14abe42fc48b572e11589d309a46ff.jpg" width="564" height="571" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Gerald Levert&#8217;s daughter, singer Camryn Levert</figcaption></figure>
<p>Some of y&#8217;all may recall our previous article, where we introduced you to Gerald&#8217;s youngest child, <strong>Camryn Levert</strong>, and <strong>her mother</strong> (see her on the next page). Well, now Camyrn is an 23-year-old R&amp;B singer, with a beautiful voice and a bangin&#8217; new single!  Ms. Levert clearly has respect for her artistry, just like singers had back in the day, including her Pops and her grandfather, <strong>Eddie Levert</strong>. Check out her video for &#8220;All Right&#8221; below&#8230;</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hiz-G2mkFp4" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ve gotta admit that when we first watched Camyrn Levert&#8217;s video, some of us, here at ILOSM, actually got a little misty eyed. Although she just had 8 years with her dad, Gerald, just to see his seed pick up the torch and carry it, is a beautiful thing.</p>

Like we mentioned earlier, Camryn Levert is biracial. Her mother is Caucasian and above is a throwback photo toddler Camryn, with her parents back in the day&#8230;</p>
<h2>HERE&#8217;S WHAT CAMRYN REVEALED EXCLUSIVELY TO I LOVE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC</h2>
<p>Below are a few interesting facts Camyrn shared with us about herself, her music, her grandfather Eddie Levert, and more&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>She&#8217;s been singing almost ever since she could talk:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>I’m 18 and I’m from Cleveland, Ohio. I’ve been singing since I was 5, and I took music more seriously when I turned 10.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-6.15.32-PM.png"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-65230 aligncenter" src="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-6.15.32-PM.png" alt="Screen Shot 2017-01-24 at 6.15.32 PM" width="594" height="335" srcset="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-6.15.32-PM.png 594w, https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-6.15.32-PM-300x169.png 300w, https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-6.15.32-PM-60x34.png 60w, https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-6.15.32-PM-241x136.png 241w, https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-6.15.32-PM-404x228.png 404w, https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-6.15.32-PM-183x103.png 183w" sizes="(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px" /></a><br />
<strong>She&#8217;s very driven about her music career and very close to her grandfather, Eddie Levert:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>I ended moving to Vegas to pursue my music career and be closer to my Grandpa Eddie Levert.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>I took a break from singing when I was 15 to focus on finishing high school off strong. Then, when I graduated May of 2016, I reached out to a producer named Swagg R’ Celious (produced music for H.E.R., Kehlani, Elle Varner, etc..). After, speaking to him a couple of times he agreed to record and produce my first EP.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>She&#8217;s a song writer:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>I flew out to New York 3 times, where Swagg resides, and over a period of 6 months of writing with two of my good friends, coming up with melodies, and picking out different tracks, we finished the whole EP titled <em>Moments</em>. I decided I wanted &#8220;The Way&#8221; to be the first single off the EP because I co-wrote majority of this song and I never wrote my music before this project. The lyrics mean a lot to me because the song really expresses how I feel. It’s very self explanatory. The next single is set to be released in March, and the EP is set to be released this summer. I’m just really excited and I can’t wait to put it out.</p></blockquote>

After Gerald Levert passed away in November of 2006 from an accidental overdose of prescription meds and over-the-counter meds, everyone was wondering how Eddie, who was extremely close to his son, would be able to go on. But 14 months later in March of 2008, the unthinkable happened when Eddie&#8217;s other son, Sean Levert, died from withdrawals from the anxiety med, Xanax, while in police custody for non-payments of child support. After that, friends and fans alike became even more concerned about how Eddie and his ex-wife, Martha, (Sean and Gerald&#8217;s mom) would be able to keep on keeping on.</p>
<p>A few years ago, Eddie opened up to The Plain Dealer and Ebony about how he&#8217;s been coping with Gerald and Sean&#8217;s death. He also manned up and willingly admitted where he feels he went wrong as a father to them. Here are excerpts from those interviews.</p>
<h2>On his sons&#8217; untimely deaths</h2>
<figure style="width: 418px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/10/ee/a2/10eea2f699172cd11f088272f19c6587.jpg" width="418" height="324" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">(L-R) Sean Levert, Eddie Levert, Gerald Levert</figcaption></figure>
<blockquote><p>Eddie Levert: “If it wasn’t supposed to be, it wouldn’t have happened. I wish I could tell you that I had a sense of why, but I don’t. I still wonder: Was it something I did? Maybe that’s why I’ve made so many changes in my life, to better myself and try to be a better father, a better husband, a better friend. Maybe that’s the reason why: for me to come to a better place. But I can’t dwell on it. It becomes very emotional for me. It gets to a place where . . . [he pauses and his voice cracks] &#8230; I really miss them. It’s just hard. But I can’t get caught up in the fact that it wasn’t supposed to be like this, because it happened. -The PlainDealer</p></blockquote>
<h2>How He Copes</h2>
<p>During his process of grieving, Eddie credits his religious faith with helping him to cope with his heartache:</p>
<blockquote><p>Via TPD: “I read the Book of Job. He lost everything. I didn’t lose everything. I lost two sons. It’s not trivial. But compared to somebody who lost their whole family &#8212; do you understand? &#8212; I was left something. God is still great. I kept praying to God, and God kept giving me strength. I had days when I blubbered like a baby, just crying. I still have those moments. But I have a purpose now.”</p></blockquote>
<p><iframe title="Wind Beneath My Wings" width="858" height="644" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wSxblTzc53M?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The music and memories Eddie has of performing with his sons, are what ultimately get him through day by day:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The music has always been healing. With Gerald and Sean, the times we had together onstage are some of the greatest moments of my life, man. The times that I was onstage with them doing ‘Casanova’ or ‘Baby Hold on to Me’ or ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ &#8212; to me, those are priceless.</p>
<p>Even now, when I go and perform those songs by myself, they’re medicine. The most therapeutic time I have in my whole life is that hour and a half that I do onstage. Because for an hour and a half, I don’t think about nothing but the music. Don’t think about the pain in my knees. Don’t think about the pain in my back. Don’t think about how I feel bad. All of that goes away as soon as I start doing that music.&#8221; [TPD]</p></blockquote>
<h2>On His Regrets</h2>
<p>Eddie admitted his personal struggles when raising his two sons bak in the day:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;When Gerald and Sean passed away, I wanted to really blame myself because I felt like it was some things I could’ve kept them from seeing that I did in my life, as a father. You know what I’m saying? People say, ‘You’re a great dad,’ and all of that, but I’m a person, too, you know?</p>
<p>I used to take them on the road with me, because it was my wife’s chance to get her break. I’d take the kids for the summer and she’d be able to get off into her ministry as being one of Jehovah’s witnesses. She was a great woman; she just had a rotten man. You know? And I can speak of that guy as being a rotten man because he didn’t know what he had and he didn’t know who he was or what he should’ve been doing. It was ignorance. I had to learn. [Ebony]</p></blockquote>
<p>Sean and Gerald have unfortunately transitioned on, but they have left their father with one of the greatest gifts anyone could ask for- the gift of wisdom.</p>

<p>ILOSM family make some noise if you thought that Gerald and Eddie Levert were the only sons Eddie Levert had. Yeah, we did too, that is until we came across Gerald&#8217;s and Sean&#8217;s big brother. All these years have passed and he&#8217;s managed to slide under the radar, but he has always been a very vital part of his brothers&#8217; and his Pops&#8217; lives. Check him out below&#8230;</p>
<h2>Meet Gerald &amp; Sean Levert&#8217;s Big Brother!</h2>
<p>Eddie Levert Sr. never ceases to surprise us, after we reported the shocker that Eddie (75) and his younger wife, Raquel, <a href="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wow-eddie-levert-13-yr-old-daughter-see-family-gets-mad-whim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">have a young daughter</a>, whom many never even knew existed, we also learned that there is an Eddie Levert JUNIOR!</p>

<p>Meet Eddie Levert Jr. (pictured above, left with his dad, Eddie Sr.) he&#8217;s Eddie&#8217;s eldest son and his mother is Joyce Hogan. Little is known about Eddie Jr. because he&#8217;s the total opposite of his dad and his two brothers- he doesn&#8217;t enjoy the spotlight. What we do know is that he&#8217;s been his Pops&#8217; manager for many years though. Eddie Sr. also has an adult daughter named Kandice and a teen daughter.</p>

<p>And there ya&#8217; have it family! Like we always say, we learn something new everyday around here.</p>
<h2>Eddie Levert Speaks About His Late Sons</h2>
<p>Speaking of Sean and Gerald Levert, their dad, Eddie Levert, to The Pain Dealer, about how his struggles with their passing. Here&#8217;s what he revealed:<br />
<strong>Eddie Levert on his sons&#8217; untimely passings&#8230;</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Eddie Levert: “If it wasn’t supposed to be, it wouldn’t have happened. I wish I could tell you that I had a sense of why, but I don’t. I still wonder: Was it something I did? Maybe that’s why I’ve made so many changes in my life, to better myself and try to be a better father, a better husband, a better friend. Maybe that’s the reason why: for me to come to a better place. But I can’t dwell on it. It becomes very emotional for me. It gets to a place where . . . [he pauses and his voice cracks] &#8230; I really miss them. It’s just hard. But I can’t get caught up in the fact that it wasn’t supposed to be like this, because it happened. -The PlainDealer</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>How He Copes&#8230;</strong><br />
During his process of grieving, Eddie credits his religious faith with helping him to cope with his heartache:</p>
<blockquote><p>Via TPD: “I read the Book of Job. He lost everything. I didn’t lose everything. I lost two sons. It’s not trivial. But compared to somebody who lost their whole family &#8212; do you understand? &#8212; I was left something. God is still great. I kept praying to God, and God kept giving me strength. I had days when I blubbered like a baby, just crying. I still have those moments. But I have a purpose now.”</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s still hard to believe those two great souls, Sean and Gerald Levert, are no longer here with us, but hopefully their parents and children have found some peace in the beautiful memories they shared with them while here. Rest on Levert brothers&#8230;job well done.</p>

It wasn&#8217;t until recently that we&#8217;ve been getting to know tidbits of info about Gerald&#8217;s children. Out of his three kids, his 28 year old daughter, Carlysia Levert, has been the most open, regarding her personal life. Today she identifies as a pan-sexual, but the self-described &#8220;daddy&#8217;s girl&#8221; recently revealed EXCLUSIVELY to I LOVE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC, exactly what happened after she came out as a lesbian to her Mother, Carlene, and her Grandpops/O&#8217;Jays singer, Eddie Levert.</p>
<p><strong>Gerald Levert Warned Daughter About Her Sexuality At Young Age</strong></p>
<p><figure style="width: 1080px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://instagram.fatl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/e35/36543753_168317214043580_5978658226231574528_n.jpg?_nc_ht=instagram.fatl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net&amp;_nc_cat=108&amp;_nc_ohc=5eH5j5XUyDEAX-B-TcM&amp;tp=1&amp;oh=cfa4d58b1fcd678db76cec04a024d7f7&amp;oe=5FF9AD26" width="1080" height="1349" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Throwback photo of Gerald Levert with daughter, Carlysia Levert [Instagram]</figcaption></figure>Carlysia Levert laughed when reminiscing to ILOSM, about the warning her Pops told her as a child: &#8220;Don&#8217;t turn gay,&#8221; Gerald would randomly tell her. He&#8217;d obviously realized his daughter -a self-described &#8220;tomboy&#8221;- was a lesbian before she even truly realized it.</p>
<h3><strong>After Gerald Passed, There Were Only 2 People Carlysia Was Nervous To Come Out To</strong></h3>
<figure style="width: 1080px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://instagram.fatl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/e35/p1080x1080/129738121_815387612577946_7057379594727576851_n.jpg?_nc_ht=instagram.fatl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net&amp;_nc_cat=110&amp;_nc_ohc=5QGCER3XprwAX_1Ugig&amp;tp=1&amp;oh=f54d897aa7f9df8b62df6c285132694b&amp;oe=5FF7DD79" width="1080" height="1350" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Carlysia Levert</figcaption></figure>
<p>Carlysia tells us she was only concerned with the opinions of her Grandpa Eddie Levert (left), and mom, Carlene (2nd from left in above pic), regarding coming out. She says she cherishes their opinions and is extremely close to them both.</p>
<h2>But Before She Was Ready, She Was Outed And Her Reality Hit Her Like A Ton Of Bricks</h2>
<p><figure style="width: 1080px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://instagram.fatl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/e35/44684583_320642505395144_4852180624922597431_n.jpg?_nc_ht=instagram.fatl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net&amp;_nc_cat=108&amp;_nc_ohc=eNwhVmweuXEAX_LMMKt&amp;tp=1&amp;oh=cd54a644e88f36a633994abbdebf9662&amp;oe=5FF87877" width="1080" height="1080" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">L-R: Eddie Levert, (Carlysia&#8217;s mother); Carlysia Levert; and dad, Gerald Levert [Instagram]</figcaption></figure><strong><em>&#8220;My Mom Took It Really Hard&#8221;</em></strong><br />
Carlysia told her Mom she was a lesbian at age 17 and says, &#8220;My mom took it really hard&#8221; in the beginning. Then her Grandpops, Eddie, found out and it unraveled from there.</p>
<p><strong>Carlysia Levert Details What Transpired Before &amp; After She Came Out To Family</strong><br />
It All Started When Her Mom Confronted Her About Being A Lesbian. Carlysia says she was stunned, when seemingly outta the blue, her Mom straight up asked her, <em>“Are you gay?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Gerald&#8217;s Daughter Gave A Carefully Thought Out Response To Her Mom. Not wanting to hurt her Mom, Carlysia told a half-truth. &#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s just a phase,&#8221; she replied to Moms, even though she knew she loved women and it was no phase at all. Mama Carlene struggled to come to terms with her daughter&#8217;s reality and that hurt Carlysia.</p>
<h3>By Then, Carlysia Admitted Doing Things Behind Her Mom and Grandpops Backs</h3>
<p><strong>She Was Living Out Loud &amp; Proud Without Family Knowing</strong><br />
By 17, Gerald&#8217;s daughter was a Spelman college student, living freely as a lesbian, without her fam&#8217;s knowledge. She was posting photos of herself with her then girlfriend online, because she was tired of hiding&#8230;yet not ready to tell her Mom, nor Grandpops.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_28746" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-28746" style="width: 657px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28746" src="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gerald-and-carlysia.jpeg" alt="" width="657" height="370" srcset="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gerald-and-carlysia.jpeg 657w, https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gerald-and-carlysia-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gerald-and-carlysia-60x34.jpeg 60w, https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gerald-and-carlysia-241x136.jpeg 241w, https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gerald-and-carlysia-405x228.jpeg 405w, https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gerald-and-carlysia-183x103.jpeg 183w" sizes="(max-width: 657px) 100vw, 657px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-28746" class="wp-caption-text">The late Gerald Levert showing love to daughter Carlysia [Instagram]</figcaption></figure><strong>Then Someone She Least Expected Ratted Her Out</strong><br />
Carlysia says her Aunt (mom’s sister) came across her lesbian social media pics and ratted her out to her Mother. Though Carlysia chuckles about that now, at that time it was no laughing matter.</p>
<p><strong>Grandpapa, Eddie Levert, Was Not Happy Whatsoev&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>Carlysia soon learned that Grandpa Eddie did NOT approve and she thinks it was because of his religious views.</p>
<p>However, Eddie never told Carlysia how he felt directly, but he did make it known to her Mom. According to Carlysia, Eddie repeatedly went off about her sexuality privately to Carlene, as he attempted to gain understanding of his grandbabies reality.</p>
<p>Carlysia says she was always the apple of her Grandpop&#8217;s eye and thinks that&#8217;s why he never told her directly how disappointed he was after she came out. However, he would go OFF about it to her Mother, who&#8217;d then tell her, probably hoping that would somehow change Carlysia&#8217;s sexuality.</p>
<h3>Gerald&#8217;s Son Then Stepped In To Help: &#8216;My Brother Bridged The Gap&#8217;</h3>
<p><figure id="attachment_111304" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-111304" style="width: 632px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-111304" src="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-07-at-2.28.43-PM.png" alt="" width="632" height="637" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-111304" class="wp-caption-text">Gerald Levert&#8217;s son, LeMicah Levert, with sister, Carlysia Levert [Facebook]</figcaption></figure>Eddie Levert is also very close to Gerald&#8217;s son, LeMicah. So Carlysia says her big bro&#8217; stepped in to start convincing Grandpops over time, that Carlysia was still the same good hearted person and that nothing changed simply because she&#8217;s a lesbian.</p>
<h3>Are Eddie Levert &amp; Her Mom Okay With Carlysia&#8217;s Sexuality Today?</h3>
<p>Fast forward to a couple of serious lesbian relationships later &#8211; Carlysia says Eddie and Mom now see that love is love and have no problem with who she is today. Her Mom even helped mend Carlysia&#8217;s broken heart, after her last breakup with her longterm girlfriend.</p>
<h3>How Carlysia Lever Thinks Gerald Levert Would Feel About Her Sexuality Today</h3>
<p><strong>&#8216;He&#8217;d Be Mad At First, But&#8230;&#8217;</strong><br />
Carlysia believes that if her dad, Gerald Levert, were still alive, &#8216;he&#8217;d be mad at first,&#8217; after finding out she was a lesbian. But, she knows he would get over it and continue to love her unconditionally.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure style="width: 564px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/15/8c/cb/158ccb48b1c8d8754e72cb46108cf172.jpg" width="564" height="308" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Gerald Levert; Eddie Levert</figcaption></figure>
<p>After Gerald Levert passed away in November of 2006 from an accidental overdose of prescription meds and over-the-counter meds, everyone was wondering how Eddie, who was extremely close to his son, would be able to go on. But 14 months later in March of 2008, the unthinkable happened when Eddie&#8217;s other son, Sean Levert, died from withdrawals from the anxiety med, Xanax, while in police custody for non-payments of child support. After that, friends and fans alike became even more concerned about how Eddie and his ex-wife, Martha, (Sean and Gerald&#8217;s mom) would be able to keep on keeping on.</p>
<p>A few years ago, Eddie opened up to The Plain Dealer and Ebony about how he&#8217;s been coping with Gerald and Sean&#8217;s death. He also manned up and willingly admitted where he feels he went wrong as a father to them. Here are excerpts from those interviews.</p>
<h2>On his sons&#8217; untimely deaths</h2>
<figure style="width: 418px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/10/ee/a2/10eea2f699172cd11f088272f19c6587.jpg" width="418" height="324" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">(L-R) Sean Levert, Eddie Levert, Gerald Levert</figcaption></figure>
<blockquote><p>Eddie Levert: “If it wasn’t supposed to be, it wouldn’t have happened. I wish I could tell you that I had a sense of why, but I don’t. I still wonder: Was it something I did? Maybe that’s why I’ve made so many changes in my life, to better myself and try to be a better father, a better husband, a better friend. Maybe that’s the reason why: for me to come to a better place. But I can’t dwell on it. It becomes very emotional for me. It gets to a place where . . . [he pauses and his voice cracks] &#8230; I really miss them. It’s just hard. But I can’t get caught up in the fact that it wasn’t supposed to be like this, because it happened. -The PlainDealer</p></blockquote>
<h2>How He Copes</h2>
<p>During his process of grieving, Eddie credits his religious faith with helping him to cope with his heartache:</p>
<blockquote><p>Via TPD: “I read the Book of Job. He lost everything. I didn’t lose everything. I lost two sons. It’s not trivial. But compared to somebody who lost their whole family &#8212; do you understand? &#8212; I was left something. God is still great. I kept praying to God, and God kept giving me strength. I had days when I blubbered like a baby, just crying. I still have those moments. But I have a purpose now.”</p></blockquote>
<p><iframe title="Wind Beneath My Wings" width="858" height="644" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wSxblTzc53M?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The music and memories Eddie has of performing with his sons, are what ultimately get him through day by day:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The music has always been healing. With Gerald and Sean, the times we had together onstage are some of the greatest moments of my life, man. The times that I was onstage with them doing ‘Casanova’ or ‘Baby Hold on to Me’ or ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ &#8212; to me, those are priceless.</p>
<p>Even now, when I go and perform those songs by myself, they’re medicine. The most therapeutic time I have in my whole life is that hour and a half that I do onstage. Because for an hour and a half, I don’t think about nothing but the music. Don’t think about the pain in my knees. Don’t think about the pain in my back. Don’t think about how I feel bad. All of that goes away as soon as I start doing that music.&#8221; [TPD]</p></blockquote>
<h2>On His Regrets</h2>
<p>Eddie admitted his personal struggles when raising his two sons bak in the day:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;When Gerald and Sean passed away, I wanted to really blame myself because I felt like it was some things I could’ve kept them from seeing that I did in my life, as a father. You know what I’m saying? People say, ‘You’re a great dad,’ and all of that, but I’m a person, too, you know?</p>
<p>I used to take them on the road with me, because it was my wife’s chance to get her break. I’d take the kids for the summer and she’d be able to get off into her ministry as being one of Jehovah’s witnesses. She was a great woman; she just had a rotten man. You know? And I can speak of that guy as being a rotten man because he didn’t know what he had and he didn’t know who he was or what he should’ve been doing. It was ignorance. I had to learn.

<p>Sean and Gerald have unfortunately transitioned on, but they have left their father with one of the greatest gifts anyone could ask for- the gift of wisdom.</p>

<p>ILOSM family make some noise if you thought that Gerald and Eddie Levert were the only sons Eddie Levert had. Yeah, we did too, that is until we came across Gerald&#8217;s and Sean&#8217;s big brother. All these years have passed and he&#8217;s managed to slide under the radar, but he has always been a very vital part of his brothers&#8217; and his Pops&#8217; lives. Check him out below&#8230;</p>
<h2>Meet Gerald &amp; Sean Levert&#8217;s Big Brother!</h2>
<p>Eddie Levert Sr. never ceases to surprise us, after we reported the shocker that Eddie (75) and his younger wife, Raquel, <a href="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wow-eddie-levert-13-yr-old-daughter-see-family-gets-mad-whim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">have a young daughter</a>, whom many never even knew existed, we also learned that there is an Eddie Levert JUNIOR!</p>

<p>Meet Eddie Levert Jr. (pictured above, left with his dad, Eddie Sr.) he&#8217;s Eddie&#8217;s eldest son and his mother is Joyce Hogan. Little is known about Eddie Jr. because he&#8217;s the total opposite of his dad and his two brothers- he doesn&#8217;t enjoy the spotlight. What we do know is that he&#8217;s been his Pops&#8217; manager for many years though. Eddie Sr. also has an adult daughter named Kandice and a teen daughter.</p>

<p>And there ya&#8217; have it family! Like we always say, we learn something new everyday around here.</p>
<h2>Eddie Levert Speaks About His Late Sons</h2>
<p>Speaking of Sean and Gerald Levert, their dad, Eddie Levert, to The Pain Dealer, about how his struggles with their passing. Here&#8217;s what he revealed:<br />
<strong>Eddie Levert on his sons&#8217; untimely passings&#8230;</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Eddie Levert: “If it wasn’t supposed to be, it wouldn’t have happened. I wish I could tell you that I had a sense of why, but I don’t. I still wonder: Was it something I did? Maybe that’s why I’ve made so many changes in my life, to better myself and try to be a better father, a better husband, a better friend. Maybe that’s the reason why: for me to come to a better place. But I can’t dwell on it. It becomes very emotional for me. It gets to a place where . . . [he pauses and his voice cracks] &#8230; I really miss them. It’s just hard. But I can’t get caught up in the fact that it wasn’t supposed to be like this, because it happened. -The PlainDealer</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>How He Copes&#8230;</strong><br />
During his process of grieving, Eddie credits his religious faith with helping him to cope with his heartache:</p>
<blockquote><p>Via TPD: “I read the Book of Job. He lost everything. I didn’t lose everything. I lost two sons. It’s not trivial. But compared to somebody who lost their whole family &#8212; do you understand? &#8212; I was left something. God is still great. I kept praying to God, and God kept giving me strength. I had days when I blubbered like a baby, just crying. I still have those moments. But I have a purpose now.”</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s still hard to believe those two great souls, Sean and Gerald Levert, are no longer here with us, but hopefully their parents and children have found some peace in the beautiful memories they shared with them while here. Rest on Levert brothers&#8230;job well done.</p>

It wasn&#8217;t until recently that we&#8217;ve been getting to know tidbits of info about Gerald&#8217;s children. Out of his three kids, his 28 year old daughter, Carlysia Levert, has been the most open, regarding her personal life. Today she identifies as a pan-sexual, but the self-described &#8220;daddy&#8217;s girl&#8221; recently revealed EXCLUSIVELY to I LOVE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC, exactly what happened after she came out as a lesbian to her Mother, Carlene, and her Grandpops/O&#8217;Jays singer, Eddie Levert.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_111302" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-111302" style="width: 478px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-111302 size-full" src="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-07-at-1.35.29-PM.png" alt="" width="478" height="575" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-111302" class="wp-caption-text">Carlysia Levert [@carlysialevert Instagram]</figcaption></figure><strong>Gerald Levert Warned Daughter About Her Sexuality At Young Age</strong><br />
Carlysia Levert laughed when reminiscing to ILOSM, about the warning her Pops told her as a child: &#8220;Don&#8217;t turn gay,&#8221; Gerald would randomly tell her. He&#8217;d obviously realized his daughter -a self-described &#8220;tomboy&#8221;- was a lesbian before she even truly realized it.</p>
<h3><strong>After Gerald Passed, There Were Only 2 People Carlysia Was Nervous To Come Out To</strong></h3>
<p>Carlysia tells us she was only concerned with the opinions of her Grandpa Eddie Levert (left), and mom, Carlene (2nd from left in above pic), regarding coming out. She says she cherishes their opinions and is extremely close to them both.</p>
<h2>But Before She Was Ready, She Was Outed And Her Reality Hit Her Like A Ton Of Bricks&gt;&gt;&gt;</h2>

<p>November 10, 2018, marked the 12th anniversary of R&amp;B legend, Gerald Levert&#8217;s, untimely passing in 2006. He was 40 years old and was survived by 3 wonderful children. Out of his three kids, there is one whom many never knew about. You see, for several years, fans were aware that Gerald had a son, LeMicah- who is damn near his twin- and also a daughter, Carlysia, who was oftentimes seen with him at public events. The reason for that is because for a while, they were the only two children who existed.</p>
<p>Then came their lil&#8217; sis, Camryn, but the details about her and her Mother were sketchy for many years. But y&#8217;all already know that here, at ILOSM, we pride ourselves on being TRUTH diggers. So after extensively diggin&#8217; for the truth about who Camryn is and where she came from, we came up with a bit of gold. Matter of fact, we&#8217;re pleasantly surprised by the truths we uncovered about this young lady.</p>
<p>Camryn (20) has just shared with I LOVE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC, her beautiful tribute to her father, for the 12th anniversary of his passing. Oh&#8230;did we forget to mention that Camryn Levert can sing like her daddy and is doing a helluva job following in his footsteps? In addition to those facts, we also uncovered other facts about her and her rarely seen mother.</p>
<h2>Camyrn Levert&#8217;s Emotional Song Tribute To Dad, Gerald</h2>
<p>Camryn was just 8 years old when her father passed away, but the short time they had together impacted her greatly and understandably so. As a singer/songwriter, she decided to honor her Pops in a very touching way- by creating a beautiful song to him, titled &#8220;Miss You.&#8221; It&#8217;s her latest single and as you watch the visual of Camryn and Gerald Levert in the video, you just might get a lil&#8217; misty eyed. Check it out below:</p>

<h2>Meet Her Mother</h2>
<p>Camryn is biracial- Her Mom is Caucasian and as we all know, her Dad is African American. It&#8217;s unclear if Gerald was still with her mother at the time of his passing, but they all have memorable moments together. Camyrn&#8217;s mother still prefers to stay outta the spotlight, but below is a throwback pic of younger Camryn with her parents&#8230;</p>

<h2>Camryn Levert&#8217;s Best Memories About Her Dad</h2>
<p>We asked Camryn what some of her most amazing memories with her father are and she let us know that there are PLENTY:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Some things I remember about my dad was his infectious amazing smile and super silly funny laugh. He had a great big heart and would help anyone. When I was little he would pick me up and whisper secrets in my ear. He would always give me surprises and little gifts when I would be at his house. I always loved going to his house because the scenery was beautiful! He had a big beautiful house with an in door pool and he always had fun family gatherings. He had a great basement filled with arcade machines and a movie theater. I have some great memories spending time with him at his house &#x1f498;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h2>Gerald&#8217;s Eldest Daughter, Carlysia Levert, Shares One of Her Fondest Memories About Too</h2>
<p>https://www.instagram.com/p/BgkZ9ORALKH/</p>
<p>In an interview with I LOVE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC, Gerald&#8217;s 28 year old daughter, Carlysia Levert [pictured above left, with sis, Camryn (R)], explained that her father, Gerald, had to always split his time between his demanding schedule, his fans, and his family. Even though she understands his dedication to his fans and his craft now as an adult, Carlysia admits she wasn&#8217;t feelin&#8217; it as a young child. Therefore, she cherished every moment she got alone with their dad:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Any time I had alone with my dad was a beautiful memory. He was always trying to lose weight. So I remember one day we were gonna work out and it was just me and him and he had on this plastic garbage back for the workout. Then we went swimming&#8230;any memory where it&#8217;s just me and him or where I felt like it was just me and him, was beautiful.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>As for their big brother, LeMicah, he too, misses his Father and does his part to honor him everyday.</p>
<p>May Gerald Levert continue to rest in power.</p>
