#TylerTheCreator visited the Know Wave’s Koopz Tunes radio show this week where he opened up a little bit about his sexuality. During the interview, he spoke on being accused of being homophobic, but he decided to dispel that rumor with a bit of tea! “I had a boyfriend when I was 15 in f*cking Hawthorne, n*gga,” the Odd Future rapper explained. “If that’s not open-minded, then I don’t know what the f*ck is.”
Tyler’s sexuality has once again become a topic of discussion in recent months after he dropped his ‘Flower Boy’ album. The project contains songs laced with statements hinting towards him being attracted to men. For example, in his song “Ain’t Got Time” one of the lyrics read: “Next line will have ’em like ‘Whoa’/ I’ve been kissing white boys since 2004.”
Later on in the week, Tyler clarified his statements from the interview and said that it was a “figure of speech.”
What are your thoughts, Roommates?
figure of speech to get koopz 'open minded' point across, i was single at 15 haha
