• Craig David - Going ba...
British singer and songwriter Craig David has spoken out about what it felt like "being bullied and ridiculed" by comedian Keith Lemon. During an appearance on BBC Breakfast this morning (Oct 4), the musician - who hails from Hampshire - talked about his new book 'What's Your Vibe' in which he opens up about the challenges he's faced over the years.
Speaking to hosts Sally Nugent and Jon Kay, Craig went into depth about the book and how people can expect it to include what life's been like for him in the spotlight. He said: "It was all about early days behind the scenes of some of those songs and how I may have been feeling behind the scenes, that there is human being and then there was the portraying' the life is great as a musician' and I felt that I really needed to unravel that."
He went on to share the past struggles his book touches upon, from 'being bullied in school and suffering from depression', to being 'bullied and ridiculed on national TV'.

Given that the Bo Selecta version didn’t look, talk or sound anything remotely like the real Craig David, I cannot see what his problem is. He was always a tedious prick. Still is.

'Relevant' in what way? As a figure of ridicule? And diverting people's association of him towards being a joke character as opposed to a very young and immensely talented teenager (he was only 19 yrs old when he had all those brilliant, breakout hits, one after the other!)? Let's not re-write history shall we. He was mega relevant and didn't need the help of Leigh Francis. Craig David actually made Leigh Francis relevant and gave his momentary career a longevity that he would never have had had he not gained notoriety from black-facing very relevant and popular people of colour. That's a fact.

As important as mental health is and it's great that he's championing it, he's so wrong on Bo' Selecta. He was never bullied by Leigh Francis, he just made completely OTT caricatures of famous people that didn't resemble them at all. Obviously he didn't like it and that's his issue, but throwing the word 'bullying' around like it's nothing doesn't help anything.

Nah he claims he felt he had no choice but to go along with it so he did it but he felt sad when he had him on his show...he felt insulted as he always did whenever he hewrd himmsaying his name. Apparently he hated it right from the very name of the show, Bo Selecta, taken from his song and he felt thwt mocking that was mocking a whole generation that loved a certain music. I dont like craig david, dont really care. Im just letting u know what i just heard him say on a podcast. I was surprised to hewr it tbh....i always saw it that bo selecta was mocking people of all colour...so wtf makes it rwciet!? He never used racist terms, he had zero racist intent and he mocked white people with the same masks and ridiculous masks too. No way is thwt rwcism. And i was bullied way more than he descibes, from primary school right to near the end of hig school...he has no clue. To throw around the word bullying to describe bo selectable, is ridiculous! ​@RobinJames8282

I think people especially Craig just completely missed the point of Bo Selecta. The characters are all ironic, they are not literal representations of the people they are supposed to be, that was the whole point. As many others have said on here, the show was not about race, colour or creed, it was a comedy show, no more no less. The irony was that Craig was a cool garage/RnB artist from Southampton and the Bo character was a northerner with a pet kestrel, see the irony?! I think Craig is being a way bit over the top when he did actually appear in an episode as Craig Davis!!

I was at a taping of 'Walk the Line', a UK singing competition in 2021 and Craig was one of the guest judges. He literally did not listen to any of the contestants when they were talking about their family or background. One of the contestants sadly had lost her dad and had dedicated her performance to him. Craig went on to mistakingly ask questions about her losing her 'brother', which became very awkward and the producers kept having to reset his takes. Meanwhile the contestants brother was very much alive and actually sat in the audience watching.

The shit music he was releasing had nothing to do with his popularity dropping, of course... Craig had good hits for a couple of year but then that was it. Many acts have experienced the same thing.

'Bullying' is a rather strong term to use for a man in a rubber mask simply having a laugh, and at the same time, making others laugh. It's not bullying, it's a bit of simple fun. If Craig deems that as bullying, he needs to have a word with himself.

@@mikejandrews mate, I'm ginger. I was bullied in school as a result of my colour & skinny frame. I know what it's like to be the focus of weak minded people who's only achievement in life is that they can 'batter' a smaller weaker person than them. I don't think for one minute I was bullied for fun, rather that the person/s doing the bullying were so miserable at how their own life was at that moment in time, or that they were failing academically, they bullied those who were simply better than them. It was also convenient that they were bigger physically. As a 45 year old, I now feel nothing but pity for those 2 people who briefly tried to make my life & others a misery. Do I think they enjoyed it or found it a bit of harmless fun? Absolutely not! They didn't get any fun out of making another look & feel worthless. They did it so they could at least feel like they were good at something in life, even if it was punching a weaker persons lights out. Craig David is a grown man who took another grown mans harmless joke far far too seriously. He wasn't bullied in the slightest. In fact, Francis's joke helped increase David's popularity.

@@mikejandrews I get your point. And perhaps Leigh Francis was subjected to similar as you & I since he too has a ginger complexion, and so adorning rubber masks was his way of asserting the authority he did not have as a child against much bigger people. I think subconsciously we laugh at these things without perhaps knowing the underlying reasons behind the 'joke' Saying that, if it were true that Craig David had a pet falcon named Kes, suffered from incontinence, and had a strong comical Northern accent, I'd absolutely call it bullying. But, c'mon, has he really been teased to the point that he simply has to speak out about it at every opportunity? Me thinks the guy simply needs to lighten up a little bit. Life is indeed too short.

Depression is serious, as is bullying. They should be taken very seriously. But it is simply not true that he was bullied and ridiculed by Bo Selecta. There was a character very loosely based on a real person, and that was used as a starting point for some silly jokesTo call this bullying and ridicule wrist trivialising, something genuinely painful.

I don't think the jokes were ever about race, although the content hasn't aged well. I do think Craig David became an unusual target though. Was it because he took himself too seriously? Or was it just a joke that went too far? As a celebrity, you're used to being told that you're the best or that your music is inspiring, but you're not used to people making fun of you. It's interesting that some people embrace it and some people take it really seriously.
