Tyler the Creator gay?

Who?

The asshole from the band Odd Future, which Frank Ocean was a member of, who was notorious for using the word faggot...just google him

I think he's cute. Tyler the Creator and Frank Ocean. Could he be the one Frank was singing about regarding unrequited love?

Pings like hell. Made fun of ex girlfriends vagina which seems very dataloungy although he is a black rapper and they are not exactly examples of courtly romance.

Yes he's gay.

Can he tell me how to get...

how to get to Sesame Street?

He has always heavily joked about being gay, and he has never had any public girls. With everything he says on this new album, it doesn't seem to be a joke.

Fugly. The straights can have him.

I have no idea who he is, but he's cute as a button.

Ugly sexy (nice torso ) and very occasionally kinda cute in a geeky way. I hope it's not a troll

I've always thought Tyler was hot. Really hot body and beautiful lips.

Music critic Anthony Fantano made a really great video about the internet's response to Tyler's confession.

He is a grade A asshole with lots of hateful ignorant "lyrics."

MTV's Best New Artist hurls hundreds of anti-gay slurs on his new album. "I'm not homophobic," he has explained. "Gay just means you're stupid." His album, "Goblin," uses the word "fa**ot" and variants of anti-gay lyrics a total of 213 times, according to NME, a music weekly. (Tyler uses the exact words "fa*" or "fa**ot" a total of nine times on Goblin

He'll probably come out as trans.

He has MAJOR BDF - and not just because he's black.

He's not gay, he's just a troll desperate for attention because THE HEAD TROLL....is our POTUS and garners a lot more attention then he ever could. Tyler should have stuck with "Loiter Squad".

Have you actually listened to the songs?

I mean I don't know why it is even that surprising, Tyler has never once been seen with any girl he is dating.

Tyler's also openly lusted after one of the Sprouse twins on his Twitter as well. A lot of people thought he was just trolling, but it seemed sincere to me.

So is he or isn't he? I'm confused

I mean this sums it up

[quote]Tyler the creator has been trying to come as gay for the past 3 years but no one ever takes him seriously and it's the funniest thing ever

It's a boy who cried wolf scenario. You tell the truth once and no one believes you.

[quote]I TRIED TO COME OUT THE DAMN CLOSET LIKE FOUR DAYS AGO AND NO ONE CARED HAHAHHAHAHA

Even drawing himself coming out of the closet

Aww, he's cute.

I like this tweet.

I'd just like to point out that I alerted DL to Tyler's open lust for blond twinks in general and Cole Sprouse in particular over a year ago.

Apparently nobody cares about this person. No "coming out" magazine cover stories for him. Sad.

He had a career with gay slurs. Who wants to celebrate him?

In case anyone's interested in hearing the song. I personally think it's really good. Cool, slow, hazy atmosphere... nostalgic. I dig the vocal effects as well. I wonder how it must feel to canonize your coming out in your music, especially as a hip hop artist.

Here are the lyrics. He's clear about it in the second verse.

sell it somewhere else

No one cares, he's desperate for attention.

Henis not gay-he once was the boyfriend of Miss Justine Beiber, but they broke up.

The people on LSA seem to think he's just trolling. I don't know what to believe.

Classic 🐸

🐸🐸🐸🐸 oops

Not subtle.

Look how super flirty he is with this blond kid

R40 Sorry cue function failed : @5:21

I'm sure he was into the kid, but he didn't seem super flirtatious to me. But he's got flowers on his head and is wearing a Pride shirt, so... there's that.

Looks cute here

He's sexy and has a great body. I'd do him.

Seriously tho how did THIS from March 2016 get overlooked (on top of everything else)

R44 I agree.

As much as Frank is a god to me there's something entirely sexless about him ..under the nice guy image there's an intense asceticism and standoffishness ..whereas this semi-ugly troll is as hot as fuck to me and seems to have a genuine warmth underneath the fuckshit

New album is genuinely amazing and quite beautiful. And I say that as someone who considers most of his previous albums unlistenable (albeit with brief --very brief--flashes of brilliance)

[quote]So is he or isn't he? I'm confused

I think that's the point. I wouldn't put too much stock into it though. Until I see photos of him hanging around someone like Ocean did with that skinny man-girl model, I'm going with him being "provocative."

R48 I doubt you've heard the album or you'd realise how rediculously convoluted, pointless and counterproductive such a troll-move would be to Tyler's career at this point

Love the new single. Uses the same sample as Deeelite (another favourite). Not really representative of the rest of the album which is georgously hazy nu-soul/jazz infused concoction with a lots of spacey guitar and shimmering synths and vulnerability

He should get Beiber to hop on with a verse or two

R51. He has already had Beiber hopping on. But they broke up

I love Tyler and welcome him to our club.

[quote][R48] I doubt you've heard the album or you'd realise how rediculously convoluted, pointless and counterproductive such a troll-move would be to Tyler's career at this point

Who gives a fuck about what YOU doubt?

Will he be embraced by GLAAD and gay media like Out magazine?

He confirms he's not trolling on the album.

I wish he'd drop the "ignorant hood nigga" act

I love these threads because you can always tell who the old people are. "Who is this person?"

I love it that he is significantly urban with street cred and same-sex oriented. r56, some bi and gay men are "hood" and "urban" and even "thuggish," and it is good for society to see this reality. It undermines stereotypes about gay men being soft and unmanly.

[quote]I wish he'd drop the "ignorant hood nigga" act.

Hunh? I don’t think he comes across as an “Ignorant hood nigga” or remotely "Thuggish." At ALL. Sure, he’s “street” but there’s a distinct difference between Odd Future and say….Migos. It's obvious there's intellect there. Plus, I’ve always found him fairly charming. Their AS show funny was hell.

R56 but the difference is he's being all ironic and shit ..he can still be masculine (which is what you really mean) without being disingenuous about his cultural knowledge; anyone who follows his career knows he's got a wide interest in cinema, art, and obscure music of all genres. His good friend Frank seems able to reconcile his "street" and arty cultured sides with no problem -- indeed that's that's his big selling point. Tyler still seems uncomfortable and hiding behind humour, which is getting tired. Don't get me wrong his schtick can be funny af but we're still not getting the full Tyler, which is a shame.

It is funny how the same white gay men who get all offended when people say they wish they would drop the campy and effeminate act are trying to tell black and Latin men they shouldn't be their authentic selves.

R61 you must be lost, flower.

Tumblr 👉

[quote]It is funny how the same white gay men who get all offended when people say they wish they would drop the campy and effeminate act are trying to tell black and Latin men they shouldn't be their authentic selves.

I doubt that white posters--in this thread--are the ones saying that.

What do you think of this song and his Late Show performance? Why does he have all of those random people on stage with him?

Ugh this self-victimising bullshit. Seriously this whiney, intellectually dishonest disegenious bitch deserves the term"fag" to be reserved solely for him.

^ I mean the "journalist"

Controversy sells

He'll come out, do an apology tour for his years of hateful, homophobic slurs, go on Oprah to talk about howblack culture made him act homophobic outwardly, and then publicly ask for forgiveness.

BTW, or we allowed to comment on those amazing DSL he has, or is that just not done?

Not interested because of the homophobia. Unlike 99% of gay people, I can't forgive such offenses, unfortunately. I wouldn't like myself very much chnif I did.

*if.

R57 I think it's more about one's interests than age. I am old and white, and I could probably write an article about Tyler.

A lot of the older gentlemen on this site watch the soaps still. I'm not knocking that, I'm just saying that we all have our interests, yet we somehow manage to entertain each other and occasionally teach each other.

Tyler the Creator and Colbert play coy and make jokes.

[quote] “Tell me about the new album. I want to hear about the new album.” "It’s out?” replied Tyler. Quipped Colbert: “Many critics have said the same thing.”

So he has to prove that he's gay by groping the straight guy?

Don't use the word "gay." He just is into doing dudes.

He seemed very suburban middle class in that Colbert interview, not hood at all.

Here he is at home with fiends watching back his 911 performance on Colbert, and see him call BF Wyatt beautiful ❤️

Also Steve Lacey (who sings on this track and is making waves in the industry..even working on Kendrick's Damn) is one fucking hot bi guy

Please Spotify the album and get it to number one as a big FUCK YOU to the homophobic Meek Mill stans..and LANs stans are the fucking WORST -- absolute cancer

^Lana Del Rey stans

Re 76 Steve Lacey is a BIG future talent. Also check out his work with jThe Internet fronted by Tyler's Odd Future alumnus Syd (lesbian) as well as production on her solo album. I wonder how many more of Odd Futire and associated acts are gay/bi 🤔

Im addicted to this song from Flower Boy even though it almost crosses over into the same knowingly kitsch/camp territory of Frank's Forrest Gump or k d Lang's Miss Chatelaine

[quote] Tyler and Odd Future were also the biggest inspiration for openly gay rapper Kevin Abstract (and Tyler has featured him at his music festival).

When Odd Future first appeared on the scene, who would have predicted that they would be the ones to make hip hop safe for gay people?

^Screwed my post up - here's how I meant to post it:

Ffff

He's really cute. I bet he gets all the blond twinks he wants.

We dont want him!

[quote]He's really cute. I bet he gets all the blond twinks he wants.

RIGHT?

Cool

Tired of the coy act

Tyler, Steve Lacey, and friends. The one in the red shirt and black cap appears to Tyler's bf Wyatt (much cuter without the jewfro); Steve is similarly a fan of the white meat

Help the album go to #1 -- thus sending a message to the industry and other gay and closeted artists -- by streaming the super short track "sometimes" on repeat (you can put it in a playlist of one; if not then just repeat the whole album;) and leave it on mute till Friday when the numbers go through. 1500 streams = 1 album sale. Better still buy it (it's honestly good ) AND stream

^Some people are saying muting it doesn't count (idk)!, so just in case instead tplay very very low

The race for #1 is so close and Jay Z is gaming the system by dropping his streaming company Tidal's paywall for his own artist Meek Mill (douchebag "tough guy") to get free plays -- when this is supposedly not allowed ..but the industry is letting him cheat. Fuck Jay Z. Protect Tyler at all costs and STREAM

"Sources inside Billboard confirm that the publication is planning to count in-front-of-the-paywall Tidal streams of Meek Mill's Wins & Losses in the album’s chart total—and the potential chart ramifications are already seismic. Bible staffers are apoplectic over the lack of leadership at the top of the publication and the refusal to address the most naked example of chart manipulation in recent memory.

These free streams generate no revenue and thus equate to free goods, thus making them ineligible for chart inclusion. Also, the presence of the album in front of the paywall opens the way for unlimited use of bots to drive up streaming totals, unencumbered by accounts or logins." -- C'mon lets get the first gay rapper to go to #1

i'd fuck him. his new album is really good

Stream Tyler's album on repeat..even if you're not into it just Lower the volume and let it play. Do it for the cause 🌈 🌻

Frank Ocean is way more attractive than this clown. In every way.

I want to fuck Frank Ocean too and Miguel Miguel is def a homo. He has a body built for taking cock.

I think Miguel is more of a top, R96. See clip.

😂 Tyler on Snapchat live

Tyler: it's too dark in here. I like my room how I like my men

???: Nice and white?

Tyler: ya.

We get it, Tyler. You like white boys.

I think he is sooo cute. I like him even more after watching the Colbert clip.

What kind of stupidass name is "Tyler the Creator?"

What kind of stupid name is R101

I wanna bum him

More Tyler plus bf

(think this was from before the album dropped/leaked)

I just hope he doesn't turn out to be a tranny..he relished EVERY opportunity to dress as women in his comedy shows

This is the track that he came out on (although personally I think it's even more explicitly expressed on Foreward) and musically it's esquisite and entirely produced by Tyler

These are from his last livestream last night, that I missed, but found these screenshots on IG. Lots of his 'BF'.

more

Don't know exactly

what

happened here...

How about Steve Lacy bro?

Also if zoom in on the art on the wall here ...

those are 2 guys... Anyway there are far more screenshots on that IG.

That's a Banksy reproduction. Peep that chair too. If that's Tyler's pad it's a lot less worse than a couple of years ago with the preschool colours and trampoline in his bedroom. And pity poor Wyatt whose lhas to wear Tyler's clothing designs - which, sadly, *haven't* similarly evolved. Although Tyler somehow is making an absolute killing exploiting his fan base with his constant merch ibundles (crucially w digital download!) -- trying to achieve that #1 chart position.

^Typos and shit. Sorry

Any pics of Steve Lacy's BF?

It appears his dream man or "god" is Leo circa The Basketball Diaries. He also digs River Phoenix.

Why not?

His new album got rave reviews here in Norway. Dagbladet (newspaper) gave it a 5.

In my day, you had to travel to the record store to buy multiple copies of your favorite musician's record on vinyl. And then figure out what to do with 5 extra copies of "Bad Girls."

I love bi and fluid dudes, but I don't like Tyler's coyness about same-sex sexuality

Is he gay or just trolling? I still can't tell.

He's serious. Geez just listen to the album it's all over it. Plus we have the receipts

YESSSSS!!! Looks like we've beaten Meek Mill and Jay Z's sneaky ass tactics..Tyler has exceeded expectations with sales figures over 100k (they're only saying "six figures" ) so it's a close fight between him and Lana (and her stans are HARDCORE!). One last push people!

We don't want him.

Most DLers probably don't realize how big of a deal this is. His coming out is going to have a bigger overall impact than those of 10 A-list actors combined.

R126, by "we," you mean the white effeminates. The rest of us want him

Tyler the Creator fans turned up... they got him to 105K with Flower Boy. He was only second in sales this week to Lana Del Rey.

I bought a bunch of his tee shirts today, They are really artsy and funny at the same time.

Nice man

I would make sweet intense love to him

I think he's slowly making it official...

oops, here...

Good for him. His bf is cute too.

Yesterday's Panorama festival. Arguably one of the most charismatic performers of his generation

Anybody gonna be watching this? I wish I could but fucking Viceland even blocks the fucking trailer for my region (like they did for Kevin Abstract's series) Cunts. Anyway it looks mildly diverting enough

He likes skinny dudes. Bi guys are like that

IMO I don´t think he's bi, he said in an interview that i think is already linked in this thread, that he's 'not into girls', also in his song Foreword he says like the girls are to keep his bed warm and his 'head on straight' and brag to his friends, and not to count the amount of times he said he's gay. So like w many of gay people I think he was just in denial or trying to 'be straight'.

Tyler The Creator's Flower Boy is #1 hip hop album this week on the charts

He is doing well

Yeah I don't know where this "bi" thing is coming from r139. He is gay.

Hmmm

Fffff

Colbert gifts Tyler a collection of Liz Taylor DVDs.

Bette Davis, Eartha Kitt and Bea Arthur can't be far off 💅🏻💃

His looks now really appeal to me, and I would never have thought he was my type.

The more I read about him the more I like him. I think he has named himself perfectly. He is so much more than a hip hop artist/singer. He's a renaissance man.

I am not a shill I swear, but check out his designs available online. Unlike Pharrell's stuff, Tyler's is extremely affordable.

Funny

I love that he's now posting almost daily pics of Wyatt on his Insta and just now on twitter. He's got it bad!

For reals?

Amidst a tight race for No. 1 between Lana Del Rey and Tyler, the Creator, Billboard delays weekly chart reports.

So adorable, in this vid you can see Wyatt at the right side of the stage (in a pink shirt) watching Tyler´s performance ☺

My 20 year old het brother who loves him swears up and down he isn't gay and he just does stuff like this for attention.

Tyler and Frank (in the most animated I've ever seen Frank)

Nice

R152 Yeah LSA seems to think that too. I was skeptical at first but now I think he's gay.

Speaking of LSA, it just occurred to me the HUGE difference between the way black men and black women view interracial relationships. Not one single man in this thread has chastised Tyler for having a white partner or just liking white boys in general. I mean, he could not be any clearer in describing his type, right?

Now let's zip on over to LSA or HSK(in our imaginations) for an example of how black women view such things:

Lil Wayne : I like lightskin chicks! LSA response: "You self hating coon!"

Tyrese Gibson:" I don't care for darkskin women. LSA response: "You as dark as fuck yourself! Your momma darkskin...you must hate your momma."

Robert Griffin III holding his newborn baby: "I am so blessed to have fund my soulmate, my other half, and now I am triply blessed holding our beautiful baby girl." LSA response: "You are one ugly ass gorilla who just wanted a lightskin baby. You and your cave chick wife are both ugly. Sell out!

Is it a socioeconomic difference? Or are men just cooler with interracial relations?

R156 Two of my really close friends are straight black men. One is really attractive and dates both races, dated a white girl a while back and is now seeing a (dark skin)black girl. He doesn't understand why black men feel the need to put down dark skin women.

My other friend who is more average refuses to date black women because (in his words) he doesn't like the fake hair (we told him white women wear hair pieces as well) and thinks they are "too masculine and loud". We all think he is dumb for it.

I sympathize with dark skinned black women because they are repeatedly told by black men and white women who exclusively date black men that they aren't beautiful. I too read on LSA and I think there is a big fear that the successful, attractive, well educated black men only go for white women-- leaving them with the "undesirables" (uneducated, unattractive black men)

Look at this Chris Rock stand up (and note the black women booing)--- colorism is a huge issue.

Funny you bought up Chris Rock. Ever since he made that documentary "Good Hair" he has been persona non grata among back women.

And I agree that some white women do wear extensions, but as Tommy S. says, the extensions mimic their own natural hair. The same goes for wigs.

Chris Rock "breaks down" interracial dating at 3:30

From LSA:

[quote]Once I realized many black men are devils willing to sell their own souls for white mans crumbs I stopped caring or being surprised by their weakness or deviance.

R160 And that is one of the more civil and polite statements vis a vis white women and black men from LSA.

ALL black men who date/marry out are sell outs, self hating coons or brainwashed.

Women such as Eve and Kimora Simmons on the other hand, made a good match.

Ynmm

yar?

What happened with the charts?

Huh?? So Is he with Wyatt or nah?

I still think this LaWanda Page pranking us...

I mean...the guy's everywhere he goes, even seems to live in his house (he's always in the livestreams T does late at night, sometimes on his PJs) and doesn't seem to work for him, apart from modeling for his brand, so if he's not his BF then what is he?! I don't think they're trolling though, at least i'm sure Tyler's into him, he's always taking pictures of him and stuff. In any case maybe is just not reciprocated.

I don't know what the nature of their relationship is but you seem to insist those things necessarily mean they are romantically involved. I have had friends that people assume I am romantically involved and denying it just because we are always together and hanging together. But we were like brothers, inseparable. It wasn't romantic at all. This dude could be his boyfriend, but not necessarily. I just dislike the notion that very close men have to be sexually involved

r168 they make love like he got out of jail

Hmmm

Spiked:

"Tyler, The Creator: the wrong kind of queer

here are few openly gay rappers. Is it the homophobia of fans and the industry that’s keeping hip-hop stars in the closet? Well, in the case of Tyler, The Creator, it’s definitely not. It’s the LGBT commentariat. Lyrics on his new album, Scum Fuck Flower Boy, in which the Los Angeles rapper appears to come out, have sparked not celebration but condemnation. He’s been instantly rejected due to his previous ‘crimes’ against the LGBT community – that is, his erstwhile fondness for using the word ‘faggot’ in his lyrics.

Since bursting on to the scene as the leader of the scatalogical skater-brat crew Odd Future, Tyler has sparked controversy. In 2013, he was banned from the UK for five years by then home secretary Theresa May. But for the purpose of selective outrage, his other early lyrics about rape and torture have been ignored for the time being. Meanwhile, his fans, labelled by many as bigots for enjoying his ‘homophobic’ material, have proved themselves entirely accepting of Tyler’s sexuality. His OF crewmates probably don’t mind either, seeing as two of their most prominent members, Frank Ocean and Syd Tha Kyd, are openly bisexual and gay respectively.

While Tyler is a notorious provocateur, and he’s chosen not to release any definitive statement, the lyrics on Flower Boy appear sincere. He raps about gay experience in a way quite unprecedented for a hip-hop artist of his stature. On the song ‘Garden Shed’ he describes a ‘garden shed for the garçons’, a seeming allegory for the closet: ‘For the garden / That is where I was hidin’ / That was real love I was in.’ In the midst of another song, called ‘I Ain’t Got Time!’, Tyler raps, ‘Next line, I’ll have ‘em like whoa / I’ve been kissing white boys since 2004’.

Since the album leaked, the think pieces have flown, many prefaced with ‘as a gay hip-hop fan…’. It makes you wonder how any of these journalists could ever enjoy a rap record if they’re so easily shocked by the use of the word ‘faggot’. Because Tyler’s use of the f-word is pretty much their entire beef with him. He’s never advocated violence against gay people. And he helped launch the career of his close friend Frank Ocean, one of the biggest LGBT stars of recent years. But, instead of pondering the nuance, writers have set about totting up the number of times Tyler used the f-word on his debut album Goblin. Apparently, it’s 213 times, an average of 14.2 utterances per song – as if that extra fifth of a faggot makes all the difference. Some have suggested that the fact he doesn’t use it on his new album is, at the very least, a sign of ‘progress’.

Tyler could well be the most high-profile out male rapper ever. And yet no one is hailing his ‘bravery’ or ‘courage’. A writer in the Guardian urges him to reduce ‘those numerous (still unforgiven) uses of faggot down to zero’. The Atlantic says the Flower Boy revelations remind us that ‘it is not only straight people who can be infected by homophobia’. Meanwhile, GQ pondered Tyler in disturbingly religious terms, in a piece titled ‘Has Tyler, The Creator earned his redemption?’. It concludes that he hasn’t, given that his use of the word faggot cannot be accepted as ‘reclaiming his own community’s language’ because ‘he was never an active member of that community’.

What the hell is an active member of the LGBT community? Tyler has previously caught flak for saying ‘why does that shit matter?’, when asked in an interview about gay rappers. Seemingly, those who think their sexuality isn’t that big a deal, and don’t want it to define their work, aren’t active enough. Do these journalists think being active means attempting to delegitimise someone else’s attempt to come out? Presumably they’re hoping for a grovelling apology for his entire career, for his freedom of expression, for not being a queer man in the ‘correct’ way. Their puritanical condemnation is the precise opposite of tolerance."

^ I agree with this..much to my discomfort as the group that run this mag/website as well as think tanks etc are the FUCKING WORST with some unfathomable post-Marxist horseshoe lefty, uber-Thatcherite, pro-Putin, pro-Trump, Pro EVERTHING anti-liberal, contrarian agenda bullshit. But they're right on this and on the sententious handwringing and dishonest grandstanding of the SJW

YTyler, the Creator and Meek Mill debut at Nos. 1 & 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart

Well...

Of course some fans in the comments saying he's just trolling 🙄 The guy can leak a sex tape and they still would be saying he's joking smh

YEAH, if a dude is masculine or mainstream, people will have a hard time thinking he is gay

Jeezus what more does he have to do?

Perhaps Bradley Cooper has it all wrong? Maybe he should start pantomiming cock sucking and leave obvious hints and people will start thing, "naaw, he's just trolling for attention."

Can anyone tell me what he's saying please? I can't hear it well and english isn't my first language

Tyler tweeting Cole Porter lyrics 🌈💃

Hmmm

Gives good mugshot

Surpringly adorable

Ahhhh 😻

Hmmm

👅 🤤

Trump pet strumpet

Does anyone else see a little Ernie Hudson in Tyler? I don't mean they look like brothers, but there is something about Tyler which reminds me of Ernie.

I love his album.

ON social media, a huge number of hip hop fans do not think he is gay.

He looks fucking amazing in R184. Kick ass body and cute, quirky face. I'd date him or fuck him, whatever he wants.

r171 Oh my fucking god. It's now a problem he like dudes even though he is gay. The amount of SJW shit in that garbage article made me want to go to IS and ask them to throw me off a building

Well, for all of those that were still doubting or saying that he was only trolling, Tyler pretty much confirmed it today with this tweet that means the song "See You Again"(and "Glitter") is for a guy, and also retweeting an article that talked about his sexuality.

The article

Also nice to see that most of the comments were nice (and some of them hilarious)

It is so bizarre to me how many people continue to not believe Tyler likes guys. It seems bizarrely homophobic.

Because he isn't a flaming queen then he MUST be lying about liking cock? I've never seen anything like it.

Stupid ass stage name

Well, he does create things...

Tyler is hot in a dorky cute kinda way.

I think he is trolling. ! “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.”

Then says it was a figure of speech!

Maybe the "figure of speech" comment means that it wasn't a boyfriend, just a fuckbuddy.

Or maybe at 15 he just wasn't quite sure what he was

Which reinforces the popular belief it's all one big running joke.

who cares at this point?

R201No. It doesn't. Because there's no joke there. Listen to the fucking album, idiot. And then what he says about it being his most grown up non-jokey work. He's not gonna fuck up,this opportunity of critical success by a cheap troll. You think Think-piece Frank, the favourite gay pet of the woke would let his credibility be trashed like that..have his own sexuality cynically used like that?

It happens

Jesus christ, just say you're gay Tyler

so Tyler the creator gay trolling everybody the cool thing now?

The Creator ✔ @tylerthecreator figure of speech to get koopz 'open minded' point across, i was single at 15 haha

Gmmmm

Most hip hop and Tyler fans don't think he is gay, and think it's a huge joke.

Truedat

Well I'm not sure I'd go by what hip hop and Tyler fans think because I reckon most don't want him to be gay (I don't know that world too well but I'm guessing so).

I don't think we'll ever know for sure unless he actually names and produces a boyfriend openly. If he's seen with a girlfriend there's going to be people who say he's either bi or bearding now.

Whether he is or not, it's nothing to tease about. People are Murdered just for seeming gay or effeminate.

The gay community needs to speak out and hold him accountable

On YouTube he has an interview with Seth Rogan. About 17 minutes in he asks about the storyline on Freaks and Geeks where Rogan's character questions his sexuality (because he's dating a girl who was born intersex and thinks it makes him gay). Then he shows Rogan that he's wearing socks with James Franco's face on them and says he was "fully in love" with Franco on the show. Then he asks if he and Franco ever fucked because he got that vibe between them during a scene.

[quote]R201No. It doesn't. Because there's no joke there. Listen to the fucking album, idiot.

OKAY, you're coming across crazy, off-putting....and just a little bit of obsessive. Seriously.

R215 is correct

And I pedal through the city with that wide-frame steer,

With that tall pale boy that I met last year,

Grape, that's what I call him,

Love, that's what I fall in, fell in

--

Can we stop with bullshit nonsense now, its case closed

The whole album was basically dedicated to his sexuality..and NOW this, post-album, sales race supposed "PR gimmick" , bragging over a Jay-Z track, about his recent amazing achievements. Yeah he's trolling 🙄

I still can't figure out if this dude is a genius or completely fucking crazy.

He seems to dwell on suicide in a few songs which concerns me.

He's trolling, and everyone except gay men seem to realize it

Gmmmm

Most people do not think he is gay.

Is he trolling or is he gay?

He's friends with Frank, Steve Lacy, Syd, Kevin Abstract ..he wouldn't use their sexuality like that as a cheap gimmick. He's not a reckless teenager anymore. This latest work is mature and deals with serious existential themes (albeit processed through Tyler weird ass head), you don't risk silly gimmicks undermining that

Tyler sexpesting Bow Wow in 08 lol. A few of his comments from a forum:

I Wanted a kiss but his body guard was about to fuck me up. I ran up to him crying, he felt like he was God yo, This nigga short as fuck............ilh tho

yeah hes is big.....black....brain.

lmfao no homo

Runnnnnn!!!!

He is very short

Wasn't Bow Wow sexually abused or was thar the other one?

He released a freestyle (Ziploc) the other day. "Fuck that, I grab my bike and phone home in the air/And I pedal through the city with the wide frame steer/With that tall pale boy that I met last year/Grape, that's what I call him, love, that's what I fall in/Fell in, I ain't like sports growing up, but now I'm ballin'/I guess I'm a late bloomer"

There are a few pictures of Tyler and Wyatt riding bikes together, but the really interesting line is when he says he calls the guy he's in love with "Grape." I don't know if he deleted it or what, but I swear at some point he posted a picture of Wyatt with the caption "grape." It's driving me nuts because I can't find it right now, but I'm sure I saw it because as soon as I read that line I thought Oh, shit, that's what he called Wyatt that one time.

Str8 guys will overthink every tiny action wondering if it's gay, but refuse to believe Tyler, the creator is even tho he's said it like x10

R220 is an idiot.

It's true that his fans don't seem to think he is GAy

Depends where you look r232.

The reddit hip hop forum isn't going through circles pretending he is lying, they accepted it.

Reddit is somehow a more mature and thoughtful forum

Hmmmt

Hahaha, did Tyler seriously ask Cole Sprouse to go dirtbiking? Those Reddit accounts do actually belong to the Sprouse twins.

DylanSprouse • 51d lol /u/ColeMSprouse I told you he didn't just wanna ride dirtbikes

Riding bikes together seems to be quite romantically charged for Tyler.

Biking with Cole:

Cool

Taylor has major major gay face and lips.

Earlier someone posted a video of two white guys who climbed over a fence to interview him after a show and Tyler seemed to be a little flirty with him. There's actually a second video that's even gayer. He's obviously into that guy, you can see it in his eyes.

About a minute in he says, "You're really close. You're trying to fucking flirt - (to his friend) his hands were not this close." 4 minutes in the guy asks, "How are Norwegian girls?" "Yeah, they all got this look...but I'm into dudes, though." "Yeah, that's tight." "Yeah, so I don't even..." "Black dudes only?" "I don't even like black dudes at all, I'm into white guys."

Later: "Gay marriage isn't legal in Australia yet, they're dicks."

This is from 2015 and he's just chilling backstage talking to some nobodies and it's obvious he's not joking about being gay or playing a persona. I almost feel sorry for the fans who are convinced this is a prank or marketing ploy, they're delusional. Dude is gay as fuck.

R240 he really doesn't. Mild tard face on the other hand (but lovably so)

Hmmm

R242 Straight men could never put on such a sweet expression.

R241 Wow, thanks for this gem. Tyler's really re-defining the term 'glass closet'

I also love that he's exclusively into white twinks. Makes me think of 'the beauty and the beast'. Wonder if he's a top though or even likes being penetrated by wimpy white guys.

No wonder he wanted Cole Sprouse.

Beauty and the Beast?

Self loathing doesnt like black guys? The self hate is strong. aye! Still probably trolling. I dont care how many times he says it, until I actually see him sucking a dick, nigga is trolling.

^^^85 year old white queen commenting.

^^^^^^ 95 year old Asian queen commenting who thought Tyler The Creator was a rock singer from Aerosmith!

R247 Don't you have a gaydar? :-O

Hmmmm

"I got to spend a few days with Tyler and among other things, I found out Tyler's actually a proud gay man, which many of his fans may not know. I learned more about him, which dicks he hasn't sucked..."

Funny how all these interviews are coming to light 2 years later.

[quote]What kind of stupid name is [R101]

One randomly assigned to me by the DL, as opposed to Tyler the Creator, which the dummy actually chose for himself.

Hmmm

.....

....

r256 .... r257. Still trolling. Vid link? Something real and concrete? Instagram posts? gtfo.

Trolling

Wyatt is soo ugly, though. Tyler could do much better. Wyatt's Rosacea scares me.

His last IG post...Is it just me or Wyatt's looking cuter recently?

Zzzzz

R261 Wyatt is definetely cuter when his rosacea is covered by a tan. Still, he is avarage at best. But he looks a bit like Cole Spouse in this pic.

I thought Tyler was into white guys

The dictionary definition of butterface.

R264 Tyler worships white twinks like they were Gods. Makes me wonder what he thinks of his black bros.

I think i'ts a birthmark or something not rosacea, he doesn't seem to have it on both sides

He's not that bad...

...and he has some nice legs

Nice 👍🏽

Ha! Most still think he is just trolling.

The only people who think he's just trolling are people who either haven't been playing very close attention or are homophobes who can't accept the obvious truth.

The thing about him trolling is, now that I know how long he's been "joking" about being gay and loving white boys and the extent he's gone to "joke" about being gay and thirsting for white dudes (recently, specifically Wyatt) over the years it's honestly more weird to imagine some straight guy is doing all this to troll people than to believe this dude is into dudes.

What??!! 🙄 why would it be soo hard to believe. I'm a fan and follow his IG/Twitter and for a couple of days last month he seemed really depressed and everyone noticed it, coincidentally Wyatt wasn't hanging around w him like always and Tyler unfollowed him on insta. There was even some threads on Reddit about it. In one of those days he also released that song 'Ziploc' where he talks about a 'tall pale boy' that he fell in love with.

Anyway after a week or so apparently they came back together or something and T started posting pictures of him again and tweeting happy stuff.

You can tell that he genuinely is in love w Wyatt and far from trolling.

The Reddit threads I was talking about (read the comments)

After Wyatt came back he tweeted this and also retweeted a picture of him

it's so ridiculous...Iike yeah he follows all those young white male models on instagram because he's trolling, and comments love-hearts on their pics because he's trolling, and talks about loving white boys all the time because he's trolling... who goes to that extent just to troll? And that shit's been going on for years.

trolling... trolling.. lalal

We have a trolling troll...

Not sure if he is trolling, but he certainly is using gayness as something to be evasive, indirect, and dodgey about. He is not presenting homosexuality as something young men should openly embrace.

For someone who was repressing so hard before, to the extent of actually being homophobic, having a whole album plus a song (Ziploc) where he talks about his sexuality is a huge step. Not everyone can 'openly embrace' their gayness so easily, especially considering his entire context, rap music, in front of the public eye, etc.

I still find him inspiring and a lot of young people too.

Now THAT'S tard face

R274, that's what I was saying, I guess I just phrased it in a convoluted/confusing way. I don't think he's trolling, I was basically saying what r278 said.

Ohh I see now 👍🏻

R281 why you such a fucking stalinist about it tho? I think he's handling it pretty damn well; you have no idea what a difficult balancing act it is for someone like him to retain his hip hop street cred and reconcile it with LGBT identity politics. He's a pioneer in this respect (Frank had a slight pass cause R'n'B is already considered "sus" by many hip hop heads). But these two have made Kevin Abstract's/Brockhamptons unprecedented level of candour and acceptance possible (though I worry Kevin's on the point of being a bit too much the other way and alienating new straight fans -- it's not a gay group, he is but one member)

Yeah I think Kevin is overdoing it too, and he started to be overly vocal about it when he saw Tyler's success on Flower Boy after his coming out, IMO

r286 This Kevin person deleted his tweet. What did he say?

r288

I can still see the preview - it said "philly tonight hope all my gay soldiers pull up".

(Kevin deleting the tweet is not that significant btw, he deletes his tweets all the time.)

Looks like his favourite position 👀

Hahaha

Zzzzz

I would smash . . .

woww

He dresses like a 8 year old from the 80's. No!

Someone got a screenshot of a comment he left on Bieber's instagram before he deleted it. I'm 90% sure he's joking here but idek with Tyler anymore.

tired of his trolling

Tired of people thinking he's trolling. I swear I've never seen something like this, is it so hard to believe?! Even most of his fans accept it now

Is it not possible he's both trolling and that he's gay? Like... he plays it up, jokes about it etc, but he's still gay.

Yeah, that could be it, but there's a lot of people here that think he's 'trolling' with the whole thing

Who is steve Lance?

ORRRRR the "he's trolling" troll is TROLLING?!?!

Steve Lacy is a 19 yr multi instrumentalist prodigy whose part of soul/jazz/funk group The Internet and worked with Kendrick Lamar, and Tyler. He's openly but quietly bi and said to be in a relationship with a guy

Steve isn't just "said to" have a boyfriend, he stated himself that he has a boyfriend on his tumblr.

That might well be true, r57. But unlike many others round here I only deal in sourced proof, incontrovertible documented evidence seen with my own eyes; and not on second hand speculation read on gossip sites. Having not seen said evidence is why I worded it cautiously. If we all did the same the gossip around wouldn't be so shittily lacking in credibility and skewing unhinged.

^ R307 not r57

Just...go look on his tumblr...it's literally right there.

R310 ☑️Thank you. I've been dying to see that.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic :/ I actually wasn't trying to be rude to you

R312 Whoa. What have we come to as a society...

It was genuine and heartfelt gratefulness. 👍

R310 this probably him with is his BF:

^amazing track btw summoning the spirit of early Prince. And like Prince writing, playing, producing everything himself. And recorded on an iPhone using GarageBand!!! Cabot waitbto hear what he can do with the full resources of a big professional studio!

Can't wait to hear*

R314 Eew, I bet after Tyler ~really~ comes out, he will be insufferably gay like Colton Haynes, Anderson Cooper etc. At least, he will dump ugly Wyatt, when he's fully open he will have many white twinks to choose from.

"after Tyler ~really~ comes out"

Fuck sake. What do you people want? It's already known by those who want to know. Save us the rainbow glitter vomit. That's why Frank has artistic credibility while Adam Lambert and Sam (god love him) do not. Once you get the GLAAD and BIG LGBT.org 🏳️‍🌈 ideological purity stamp of approval you're cold AF

^street cred alongside artistic credibility

He is stupid and unattractive. Who cares? He made his career by attacking gay people.

Hmmm

I approve. He looks like an upgraded version of Wyatt. 'Rose tinted cheeks' and all. (the sweetheart comment is the guy in the picture btw)

R318 Tyler keeps teasing us with his overbearing gayness like in R314 but doesn't go all the way. He should just do it 100% or leave it.

R322 OMG, upgraded version of Wyat is spot on. The new guy looks much more twinky and seems more fashion-oriented - good for Tyler.

It's tired and insulting

Jonah is waay hot.

I guess his taste for the thin white twinks is what kept him from responding to Jaden Smith's declaration of love last year.

Huh?

Nevermind, Tyler's still head over heels for Wyatt...

I guess Some people are entertained by nebulous, ambiguous stuff and trolling. It bores me. Tedious

Then why don't you just leave this thread

I feel like this thread has been taken over or created rather by a Tyler the creator troll freak fan boy.... Stay thirsty!

Well, there certainly is a freak lurking in this thread but I don't think he's a Tyler fanboy.

Uh huh dude

R329 I think Tyler's dream boy is really Cole Spouse as Wyatt looks a bit like a bloated version of Cole.

r336 = troll fan boy Tyler fan freak

aww c'mon he might not be Cole Sprouse, but he's not that bad either...

zzzz

I wonder if he'll suddenly drop wyatt when he gets bored of him like he did with Lucas

idk man, this seems like a bigger deal, he made an album and came out because of him.

Matching chains

See You Again performance was horrible. You could see Tyler was dissapointed by the whole thing. The timing was off and it just didn’t cohere. 😔 And it’s such a great track too with the potential to bring in a whole new fan base

Are these Wyats painted toes? They look suspiciously feminine

I don't even know who the fuck that is, let alone caring if he's gay or not

Why do people think it’s somehow indicative of wit, to showcase their iwilful cluelessness, make a virtue of their out-of-touchness 🤔

[R347] Yeah, and idk why they feel the need to say it in a thread about a person 'they don't know'. Just leave? this is not Facebook or Twitter where you have to see what's on your timeline.

R345 idk if that is his feet, but he did have his nails painted on a live the other day

*foot

painted nails (from @kwlsey on Twitter)

if you don't know who tyler is, it's probably because you're old and/or out of touch...his coming out was actually a big fucking deal for hip hop.

Nice

R344 I agree, the performance was really odd and lacking. I love that song so I was excited to hear it live and then...Eh. His performance of 911 on Colbert was amazing so I don't get what happened here.

Tyler was so happy to listen 'See you again' on the radio for the first time yesterday , and ofc Wyatt was with him (from W´s IG story)

Perks of being Tyler's BF/crush...

Acoustic See You Again.

I really don't get T + Ws relationship...if they're together then why does tyler always sound like he's pining? but if they're not together, then how fucking awkward must that be?? to be friends with someone who's so openly obsessed and pretty much in love with you.

it just occurred to me that Wyatt was probably the "hottest boy in art school" from Ts instagram pic ages ago that had everyone speculating. He's obviously an artist and I remember tyler tweeting pics from his art show a while back.

R359 My take on it is that obviously Tyler had a crush on Wyatt since the first moment, but it wasn't reciprocated at first (Wyatt having a GF and everything) so they were just friends, although W must've known T's real feelings, since he's the one saying 'the one about me' on Sometimes, so he knew See you Again was about him, that and other things, T wasn't particularly subtle.. Cue Tyler's angst and pining.

But since a while ago her GF is nowhere to be seen, apparently they broke up. And Wyatt become closer w Tyler, almost following him everywhere. However Tyler was still saying he was lonely and stuff. Anyway, after that they seemed to go trough a rough patch not long ago, I think someone already pointed it out here, where Tyler was really depressed and worrying his fans, and now was Wyatt who was nowhere to be seen.

He came back tough, and since then Tyler is visible happier and they're close again, with Wyatt in his livestreams, pictures, etc. Make of that what you wish.

What I think is that Wyatt wasn't sure of his feelings for Tyler and decided to get away for a while or smth. And having in mind that, in that moment Tyler released Ziploc, (with the line "And I pedal through the city with the wide frame steer/With that tall pale boy that I met last year/ Grape, that's what I call him, love, that's what I fall in") Wyatt coming back to his live is like accepting Tyler's love.

I mean you just can't go back to being friends with someone so in love with you, especially after he said it to the whole world. tyler's fans knew right away who he was talking about.

I love Tyler's artistic eccentricity.

Tyler having fun with Wyatt's friends (Wyatt's the one on a white tee btw)

From Wyatt's IG story

Aw, cute tweet. Also, Wyatt is heavily featured in the new Fall look book Tyler tweeted about. @tylerthecreator Oct 11 no green la ferarri, 3rd season of freaks n geeks and 4 double pharrell albums from 2006 could equate to the joy your existence brings me

Big yawn

cute pic of Wyatt in Korea from Tyler's IG .

Wyatt has spoken...

For context, Tyler commented "Dear god" on Wyatt's ig pic, so everyone was saying how cute they were, aww, etc. And some idiot who still believes Tyler's trolling (like DL🙄) said he just said that he's gay 'to get attention'. To which Wyatt replied ' ha you ain't shit'.

If that doesn't confirm it... Also both their IGs are now full of eachother pictures.

This was the picture btw...

I noticed that too. It erased any doubt I had about them being together...I find it hard to picture them as a couple, but they just obviously are.

Is it actually confirmed somewhere that Wyatt is the one saying "the one about me" on Sometimes? I've read about it from fans but that's it. Obviously See You Again is about him but in the CD liner notes there's no credit for it. Wyatt (first name only) does show up listed as a photographer for the album, it's cute. Not sure if it's a joke or not but it says some famous photog was set to do the pics but it fell through so he used some last minute ones. Her name is crossed out and Wyatt's is penciled in.

Anyway, I was watching this great set on YouTube where Tyler does a verse from the "17th draft" of 911 (album version is apparently #25) that connects it to See You Again. I always figured that Wyatt was the person he described on 911 who he wanted "front row"/"shotgun in the passenger" because duh, but Tyler confirms it when he sings, "You live behind/the lids of my eyes/right next to my tears/so just in case the sun wakes me up again/you can reach me right here at..." Compare that to SYA's "You live in my dream state.../You exist behind my eyelids, my eyelids/Now I don't wanna wake up." And then of course the obviously-about-Wyatt song Glitter (which Tyler intros in this set as his fave song from the album after SYA) is connected to those songs because on the album you can hear that line about Wyatt's "rose-tinted cheeks" being repeated in the background at the end.

See You Again/911 starts about 16 minutes in. The Mr. Lonely part gets pretty intense.

Oh yeah, and then after 911, before he starts IFHY, he's smiling and gesturing to someone off-stage to his right. Then in the song when he says the line,"'Cause I get so fucking mad when you don't write back" he turns around and points to the same place backstage. He looks over in that direction a lot throughout the show, I don't know if Wyatt was over there but I thought it was interesting.

R374 Yeah, i remember watching that vid, he was side stage (at Tyler's right) right by the speakers in a sunflower tee, just like the one Jasper´s wearing. But anyway, they were at their 'angsty' phase there still.

Look how cute they're now...

Of course...

They're doing this kind of "matching?" pictures now.

This was the pic Wyatt posted before Tyler posted that up

Just like here...

Tyler called (presumably) Wyatt his "boyfriend that he doesn't touch" though. I wonder if he's being bitter that they can't be v affectionate in public or if he's being sarcastic in response to the rumors about them (implying they're not true.)

oh shit, forgot to link to the video...

R380 What if it's one sided? I don't doubt that Tyler is gay, but maybe Wyatt isn't? It would explain a lot.

Its lame and tiring

R82: “YUH...look at my face, look at that joy This is one sided, yeah, I can't lie We aint gone work out we a fat boy, YUH...sumo!"

Oops meant R382

I think it may be one-sided too, but then surely that would ruin any friendship between them? Also I think Tyler would be way more miserable if that were the case, but he seems pretty happy right now. I think I'm just gonna give up trying to understand what's going on and just hope it doesn't end badly, whatever 'it' is.

Maybe he wasn´t talking about him?? Idk..

Tyler addressing the doubters 😂

Frank’s 30th (House of Ocean Vogue ball) Interesting! Glitter ✨ indeed

So they all had on glitter? Can’t wait till the photos are released

Frank in his full glitter suit. I Franks BF Memo had on glitter clout goggles (can’t see much more of his outfit. I ) wonder what Tyler and Wyatt wore

I totally get it. It’s a REAL pride thing. He doesn’t feel like he has to directly account to the media Ior BIG LGBT.ORG for validity or acceptance for his sexuality, just like heterosexuals don’t have to. He’s just gonna live his life and youll see what you see and fuck your opinion.

Off topic but kinda not seeing his libel strategy involved dragging Tyler into his libel case against Frank....anyway Frank’s dad is a total fucking piece of shit

Yikes frank.

Tyler on Franks party. He went full homo with that strut

Tyler’s set at Camp Flog Gnaw (times in comments)

I wonder how much he makes from his carnival 🎡

Brockhampton did good but the crowd totally sucked :(

I think that Wyatt guy is just taking advantage of Tyler at this point, too many contradictions.

He liked this comment last night... Then like why even hang out w him if he isn't interested, any straight guy would've just put an end to all ages ago. Of course there's the money, gifts and attention he gets i guess. Smh, poor Ty.

Also the way he's talking to Tyler here, he's a total tease and leading him on. That's from his ig story, now his art made it to Tyler's tour merch btw...

here, idk why that link doesn't work

Aw that sucks for Tyler if true...he deserves better :(

R397 but how does that square with the new lyrics on Sometimes

Could somebody please transcribe the extra verse from Sometimes? I get the gist of it but I'm not sure on some words. Anyway, I agree with r401, I don't see how that works when Tyler is happily rapping gushy shit about Wyatt's hair being like waves he wants to surf. I don't know why he liked that comment, maybe he was being ironic, but if he's really just jerking him around you'd expect him to be less careless. Or like with the "where's my boyfriend I don't touch" line - we have no context. It sounded like a joke to me, and possibly not even referring to Wyatt. They both seem happy and apparently the only statement Tyler plans to make is through his lyrics so I'm just going to assume everything's good.

Also, Wyatt's always walking around with a video camera. I wonder if maybe they're working on something together, like a Flower Boy documentary. He did ones for Wolf and Cherry Bomb, I'd love to see one for this album.

[R402] You got them long lashes

Couldn't get the dirt in em

Curls on your head look like waves I'm a surf in em

Wave at the camera

The paps ask your role

I evade any answer

But if you ain't a dummy shit is laid in these stanzas

Kidnap my feelings

I ain't paying any ransom

I keep em like secrets

Might drive a nigga crazy

But I'm beeping like, beeping like, beeping like pagers on the hip waist trainer, yeah

Here's a thread on Reddit that's talking about this.

One comment put it very well :"I've known people like this who never got their shit sorted and ended up fucking over/manipulating their partners and keeping them stringing along. This is probably the reason T is more secretive than he probably would have been by now, not knowing how he's meant to act around/talk about Wyatt kind of pushes him back into that closet state.

I thought Wyatt had figured shit out and started not giving a fuck when he unprivated his instagram and stopped deleting peoples comments..."

Thanks, r403. I thought that's what he was saying but wanted to see if that's what other people heard. And thanks for the link r404, I'll check it out.

I actually feel so sad for Tyler but maybe this will be a good thing in the end...like, if this relationship has made him accept some things about himself and be more open then it can't be a bad thing.

You do know artists write songs that are not true Or autobiographical?

Lol yeah, Tyler has repeatedly described his past albums as non-autobiographical (especially the homophobic/rapey parts) and couched them in ambiguity by rapping under various personas/alter egos and described them as stories, thrown in a lot of bullshit to be controversial, etc. Yet he described this album to Colbert as having "nothing funny on it" and said he tried to limit his rapping so that he only said things that are "really, ridiculously important." All you have to do is listen to his previous albums and then Flower Boy to see the change in tone. Soooo...IDK what r407s point is.

Oh cmon I thought we were over the whole 'Tyler's trolling' 'he's not gay' stuff. It's obvious by now.

I don't think this has been posted. Tyler to Wyatt: "You closet fag, get the camera!"

This whole video is ridiculous. 😂

Someone made this compilation of Tyler/Wyatt moments 😊

Lol, Tyler was making fun of Wyatt's love of mint Oreos on his insta story.

Uh okay

First time with a live band and it works.

That was amazing!

Wow, that was gorgeous. Also, no mention of Flower Boy getting a Grammy nom? That's exciting. I doubt he'll win but still, that's major.

Anyway, here's a fun video from Tyler's high school days where he briefly weighs in on Prop 8.

Hmmmm

Tyler & Wyatt on The Jellies

r418

I love it, haha.

lol I came here to post the same thing r418

God tyler constantly abusing Wyatt with those "funny" comments like "dirty fuck"..... #yawn #bored

If It’s true —as is being speculated in hindsight— that he was foremerlyn in a relationship with Lucas Vercetti, then Tyler most definitely has unorthodox tastes in men. So that would mean Lucius’s relationship with Bruce Willis daughter was simply a bearding arrangement to protect Tyler?

Formerly in a relationship*

Tyler, Brockhampton, and Steve Lacy at the Observatory on the 30th. That’s a lot of homo on one stage! I hope it gets uploaded. I also hop Tyler has that Tiny Desk live band. Those backing singers especially were fire

R421 Both of them joke around like that. Just watch Wyatt (@wyyacht) comments in Tyler's last live

R422, I don’t know if there’s any truth to the speculation re: Tyler and Lucas but I always just assumed it was a one-sided thing.

He's talking about Charlie Plummer. I don't really find him beautiful though lol

Did he delete the tweet?

Charlie Plummer is 18, but he obviously has a type...

white twinks

R427 Yeah he always does that. That's why I captured it

I meant to reply to R428

Lmao

This just dropped, Tyler talking about Flower Boy. Haven't watched it yet but I bet it will be interesting.

So zzzzz

I'm confused, is that person saying Tyler is NOT gay and that he has a girlfriend?

Tyler rocking Louis Vuitton at the Grammys. Look at Wyatt all Blonded 😘

This thread pops up out of nowhere way too often

Oh Tyler!

(seriously you need to click on that image to do do.the full thing um justice)

R437 If only there was some simple foolproof solution to your perturbation 🤔

why are people so fucking dumb, oh my god

He literally took a guy as his date and people still think he's pretending 🙄

I mean look at them

Unless it's on the cover of People magazine, no one will believe.

If he's in the closet he's not trying very hard.

The leopard (cheetah?) print didn’t work it’s magic this time. He was robbed at the Grammys. Kendrick album was trash

The gang

someone on instagram said that Jasper looks like a minecraft grass box lmao

They're not wrong..😂

Tyler and Wyatt visiting Kylie Jenner's baby. Out of everything this is the most 'coupley' thing they did imo

"I don't want this, haven't you heard my last album?" lol

R450 LOL Tyler is funny, crazy and fearless af. Fuck Chris Rock and Dave Chapelle, Tyler just being himself has a better claim to being generation’s Richard Pryor, even without a routine

Imgur is not link friendly. Moreover so many of people don’t have that app or accounts on it

Still thinking Wyatt's just using him. I follow the guy on IG and he followed and liked a few thots recently...Hope i'm wrong though

So still no definitive proof he’s gay? 😂

His rreaction when the female fan threw a bra at him on stage and his acting all disgusted and saying something like: this bitch obviously didn’t listen to the latest album....kinda needs no official statement. IT IS NOW A KNOWN FACT.

Rocky joked about writing Flower Boy and not getting any credit for it, and Tyler responded: "SO YOU WROTE GARDEN SHED? WOW NIGGA YOU ARE FUCKING SUS WE KNEW IT ALREADY DYKE BOY." Take that as you will.

Anyway I was at his show in Chicago at the beginning of the month and thought his performance of Yonkers was kind of interesting. Someone uploaded it. He introduced it by laughing and calling it a really gay song, which you can kind of hear at the beginning of the video. He said it again after ending the song too but that wasn't recorded. And it IS a pretty gay song, especially the way he performed it at Bonneroo a few years ago ("I'm a fucking homosexual!" instead of "I'm a fucking walking paradox" for example). Interested to know what anyone thinks of how he says the "I'm not gay" line in this video.

Anyway, awesome show. Opened with Ziploc and closed with See You Again. Someone threw a dildo at him lol. He just kind of picked it up like "wtf" and threw it behind him.

R457 Lmao he really hates that song. The gay part was very telling for sure.

"Tell Tim Chalamet to come get at me, skin glowing, clear of acne"

^Oh, dear!

Someone buy Armie some smelling salts!

Tim is offically a Fake Fan if he doesn't at least give Tyler a blowie now.

Tyler watched Call Me by Your Name and Lady Bird a while back and put it up on his insta.

he sent Timothee a pair of pink golf le fleur converses a while back, I remember seeing that on insta

But doesn't Tyler have a boyfriend? Why does he always go after other twinks like Timmy or Finn?

Finn Wolfhard? Isn't he like 14...I don't think Tyler would go there. No one is 100% sure what T and Wyatts relationship even is.

[quote] Finn Wolfhard? Isn't he like 14...I don't think Tyler would go there

He sent him Golf Le Fleurs too, and Finn is one of only a handful of actors he's following on Instagram. Combined with the fact that he fits so well into his usual type, I'd say it's highly likely there's an attraction.

But I don't think Tyler is reckless enough to actually go after him, or to lust after him as openly as he did after Cole and Timothee.

But Wyatts fits his type too so I think it's safe to assume they are together....

Most people assume Tyler is into Wyatt, but Wyatt had/has (?) a girlfriend while this was going on and has liked comments and stuff saying he's not gay or with Tyler so people think it's a one way thing or that Wyatt's using Tyler.

Tyler seems obsessed with Wyatt judging from his instagram and Flower Boy is basically just sad love songs about him/unrequited love. If Wyatt is using him I hope Tyler finds someone new soon bc that won’t end well. Does anyone remember what happened when they unfollowed each other a few months ago? Like what was going on

R470 I remember, Tyler was really sad/depressed at the time, you could tell by his posts , twitter bios, etc. After that Wyatt came back but i think they had another "break up" not so long ago, when again he posted sad things especially on his bio, like "we'll never bee", "i wonder what love is like", "youre ma norf see texes" (a LGBT movie) etc.

Recently though he changed his bio to "i got a new thang his walk is mean" and people speculated he could've been dating a model or something but idk, I hope he evntually get over Wyatt though, that shit doesn't seem healthy

(this page keep track of all his bios..)

Oh another thing I noticed, i follow Wyatt on IG, and everytime he posts something about Tyler, Tyler about him or anything related to them together really; he then goes on a spree of liking or following hot girls lol, I think he might be a closet case or very insecure about his sexuality.

This just happened again btw, Tyler commented on his last post and he has Tyler on his last IG story and predictably he started following some girl and liked this picture lmao

HE OBVIously doesn’t want to be viewed as gay.

Yeah but at the same time, why didn't he put an end to all of that sooner , like people are constantly asking if they're dating he could've just said no directly; same with Tyler, I'm sure he's aware of his feelings so Why does he keep hanging around w him, even going as his date to the Grammys, what straight guy would be that close ?

He must be very confused or like it's been said before, just using him

Or maybe he's in a relationship with Tyler as his boyfriend and he likes it that way...dunno.

Plot twist? Tyler with a black dude

That's on Wyatt last IG post btw

I have close straight friends that people sometimes mistake for boyfriends or down low brosexuals. Although the questions and comments can be awkward for us, they mostly just ignore and it doesn’t affect our relationship. We even dance together at straight clubs.

Wow, then he was really trolling us all.

Then, what about all the lusting for twinks, if he's only in black dudes?

Maybe he's into more than one type of guy?

Well if that rumour is true then he's into black guys as well, we already know he is into white twinks

He's probably trying his luck with the with twinks too. I mean, he knows timothée is a big fan so why miss the chance to get his attention with a little flirty shout out.

I hope Timmy stays away from his clique.

R484 Why? out of all the rappers I think Tyler's the most unproblematic out there. And he doesn't even do drugs or drink

I kind of agree r485. He's said some fucked up things in the past but right now he seems to be a pretty chill guy overall. I haven't heard anything about him messing with drugs or anything. At the moment, he seems to be basically focused on music, fashion and trying to flirt with guys. I saw he left a nice comment on Kevin Abstract's instagram yesterday (about being signed to RCA) , and Kevin is probably the nicest (and gayest) rapper out there, so seems like Tyler himself is associating with pretty unproblematic people.

[quote] He's said some fucked up things in the past

That's putting it mildly. After all, this is a guy who was banned from entering the UK for years. But it's true that he appears to have grown a lot since then.

I wonder how Tegan & Sara feel about his new queer persona. Have they commented on it?

Ah, ok, I don't follow him closely so I only heard about what he did in the past you could say, but if he changed that's better.R485 R486

R486 I’m pretty sure Kevin and BH know Tyler since they have the same managers (Chris & Kelly Clancy), BH also played at Tyler's Camp Flog Gnaw last year.

I just saw that Frank Ocean’s boyfriend follows Kevin and BH on instagram - here’s hoping we’ll see Frank at a show of theirs someday.

Anyone know who the black guy could be? (the one Tyler's supposedly fucking) they only say he's named after a planet

The OKRA video is so good, and Wyatt is in it

These lyrics in OKRA suggest that Tyler’s guy is mixed, isn’t Wyatt just white? R476 R491

[quote]Yeah, we straight but if you wrinkle up the situation He will go grab the iron and he do what I says like Simon (no violence) And my guy mixed like jambalaya

R493 His last name is Navarro, so maybe he has some latin roots, but he could be white either way. Tyler says "grape look like mayo" in the same song lol.

He changed to "my bitch is mixed.." in the video, so maybe that's just a song idk

Y’all stay interpreting lyrics as if they are literally true or autobiographical

If Chalamet is into guys I hope he gives Tyler a chance. That would be a pretty interesting couple. Plus, I don't like his weird relationship with this Wyatt guy. Seems like the guy can't make up his mind and Tyler sounds like he's in a permanent state of pining after unattainable boys. Its sad. Timothée at least is a confirmed hysterical fanboy so you never know. I remember Tyler got a few biking bro dates from former crush Cole Sprouse. Maybe he'll get lucky with Timothée.

Man I hope so. They'd be such a power couple.

I don't like Wyatt anymore either, I mean they are cute but I can never get over the feeling he's just using Tyler. He deserves better. Even if is not Chalamet , i hope he dates some really pretty guy like a model or something and screw Wyatt !

Tyler hanging out with yet another white twink, Leo Mandella

He's 15 though

Tyler certainly has a type.

Kinda odd that a 27 year old man hangs out with young guys in their late teens/early 20s every day. He does come across as a big kid though, skating/biking everywhere and wearing those bright ass colors

Leo works for converse as a spokesperson. He's been 'hanging out' with basically everyone who has a line of one stars coming out.

R501, some of us are not Slaves to ageism or demographic boundaries. We chill with people we like without regard to categories

R503 Let me guess that you're a fan of Call Me by Your Name.

R503 If you’re an adult in your 20s/30s what could you possibly have in common with a fifteen year old? Like what would you even do with them since they can’t go anywhere and would have to text/call their mom when it’s getting late lol. But you do you, I’d feel weird hanging out with teenagers that aren’t my siblings/cousins but maybe that’s just me.

I think 30s hanging out with 20s is more acceptable, than with teens. Just my 2 cents.

R505 That's true, but i guess it's different for them cause they're famous though. I mean after all the guy is in the US without his parents, so I don't think he has to ask permission to them or anything.

Also Tyler doesn't drink not even smoke, he's straight edge, and always says he hates clubs, so they could hang out on places where age isn't a restriction.

Tyler tweeting that he loves guys with jew fros

Hmm wonder who he's talking about...

I wish tyler would just get over wyatt, he keeps putting himself out there with all this "declarations" and the guy doesn't even seem to be into him.

Maybe Wyatt reciprocates, but we don't know about it?

Hanging out with Ansel Elgort, Kevin was saying 'gays only!' to the paps

Wrong thread oops

Lol looks like he deleted it, r508. There's a screenshot on Reddit tho.

Wyatt deleted a comment on his recent (shirtless) ig post that said something like ‘so this is what Tyler’s been eating’

GOod for him. A rude comment

He deleted a bunch of other comments just now talking about him and Tyler, they weren’t rude or invasive though so I don’t understand what Wyatt is scared of

Lol he always does that.

I think they're on an 'impasse' again btw, seems like they're not hanging out together again

R518 Maybe that’s why Tyler seems depressed and grouchy on twitter lately, yesterday he tweeted and deleted “new number if i aint text you dont ask take the hint”

R519 I think that has more to do with this other tweet...

But tbh i hope he moves on from Wyatt

Agree. I really hope he moves on. Wyatt seems to be either using him or closeted and very insecure. Neither is a healthy option.

R517 maybe he's scared those instahoes he's been following think he's dating tyler

Wyatt's art/doodles for his friend's photography exhibition in 2016. 'Nah man, I'm straight I swear" in the bottom right corner.

I saw that before, Idk if it's supposed to be ironic or literal though

Also that was before he even met Tyler

So I was listening to "Tamale" after a while and the line: “Lick my dick how does that sound um smell my gooch, you could kiss my buns and i don’t give a shit, bend my rectum” sound pretty telling now in context.

I mean "bend my rectum"....

Tyler and Wyatt together at Coachella, so I guess they're cool still

How long have they known each other? Their relationship seems weirder by each year, especially if Wyatt isn’t into Tyler the way Tyler is into him

How do we know that Wyatt isn't into Tyler? Maybe he puts up that façade on SM, but behind closed doors who knows?

YOU Know, people can be friends if only one is Romantically interested in the other. I have multiple friendships with dudes and chicks like this.

R528 According to Reddit since september 2016. yeah is weird

R530 Is it really a "friendship" then, when one of the 2 feel something else it stops being a friendship imo. Also how healthy could that be, always jealous of someone who comes into their life, pinning for them, etc. but maybe that's just me idk.

Also you can tell Tyler doesn't want this to be a friendship, posting pictures of him all over his social media, taking him everywhere, just the 2 of them, and tweeting stuff like the other day that he 'loves guys with jew afros' etc.

R530 Well obviously, but it would be slightly sadistic of Wyatt since Tyler is in love with him (so many songs are obviously about him, Tyler hires him for every GOLF campaign, takes him on jets everywhere, etc). Why wouldn’t Wyatt just say that they’re just friends instead of deleted ig comments about him and Tyler being together? If he did all the speculating would stop lol. I don’t know what the deal is and I don’t really care but my take from recent events is that Wyatt seems insecure or unsure about them/himself and Tyler is miserable from pining after him but can’t let go of whatever they have. So many guys look like Wyatt, Tyler should just find someone who’s nice and less manipulating lol

We accept the reality of a lack of mutual romantic interest and possibility, and move on as friends. There is no jealously because we have a friendship bond and romance is an impossibility.

R532 Also waayy cuter than him, really Tyler could do so much better

R533 Maybe, but like I said above, Tyler doesn't seem to want to be just friends

Maybe Tyler has a straight (white) guy fetish. Shouldn’t be too hard for most DLers to imagine.

R534 Tyler is good-looking, intelligent and successful; he could probably get any of those pale and dirty twinks he’s attracted to. Especially now when people are aware of the fact that he’s into guys. I wonder how long his obsession with Wyatt will last since it doesn’t seem to go anywhere. R536 could be right and the next guy will just be another Wyatt situation

R537 You forgot RICH lol

IDK about the fetish thing, he does seems to suffer from this situation

Timothee Chalamet is at Coachella. I hope he shows up to Tyler's set, Tyler would faint lol

Tyler had a picture of Wyatt modeling Golf Le Fleur on a billboard as his Insta story last night. Gay.

They are in love!!

Tim Chalamet did get at him!

Hope they had fun together lol

I wonder if Wyatt got jealous that Tyler's new crush was there. Even if he's not actually sleeping with Tyler, the guy still got himself a pretty sweet deal following him around, modeling for his clothing line etc. I imagine he's got to be at least a bit worried about getting replaced.

I don't think he's gonna get replaced anytime soon lol Timmy doesn't like Tyler that way so it would another one sided relationship.

R544 Maybe if Tyler started obsessing over some random guy like Wyatt, not a famous Oscar nominated actor lol. And Timmy is very straight, but he seems flattered by any kind of attention and is very secure in himself/ his sexuality overall. It would be cute if he became friends with Tyler and his crew but it seems pretty unlikely

Timmy is the typical fanboy haha I wish he'd become friends with him too, rather than with the likes of the other rappers...oh well.

Whatever their relationship is, they obviously have a deep connection and are very close. You don’t worry about “getting replaced” when you know someone like that

Last night Wyatt's Insta story was a picture of a Mild High Club concert and you can see Tyler in the crowd wearing the same outfit as the pictures T posted on his Instagram that day. Bear in mind MHC's album Skiptracing is the album Tyler references multiple times in regards to his and Wyatt's relationship.

R549 That’s interesting, thanks for this - I had no idea

Tyler’s reaction to the awful crowd LMAO.

Tyler's aggressive "BITCH CLAP" was hilarious. Him being all "this show is rough, I ain't had a show like this since 2011, I need to rethink my shit" made me sad though, his set was really great but the audience was horrible and not into it.

R549 [quote]fell in love to this album. skiptracing

So it didn't go well? Also, what's the MHC's album about, could someone give a short summary?

R554 They make psychedelic indie pop music with a jazzy feel, Skiptracing is a great album go listen to it asap (!) it's also Tyler's favorite album of 2017.

Imagine getting to hear OKRA performed live for the first time and being this dead like.... Tyler deserved so much better

Why didn't the crowd feel it?

They were waiting for Beyonce, it seems.

Tyler's comment on the crowd

This is cute, a fan met him today and promised him "weekend 2 would be better". I hope so!

I can make a part 2 when we’re nearing 600 posts, R560.

R559 I was expecting a twitter rant lol after his set lol.

R561 Thanks!

R562 Lowkey me too, Tyler definitely has changed

On that topic, i really liked this article about his performance on saturday

[quote] "Saturday’s set was a perfect extension of Flower Boy’s mood and aesthetic; bucking any expectations of what a Tyler, the Creator set should be, it showcased the depth of New Tyler as a performer and as a songwriter. No longer an agitator, Tyler is now something of a showman. He’s sweet onstage, asking us “Are you having a good time, Coachella?” and “Will you sing with me?” and urging the crowd to sing the hook on “Boredom” in a way that’s almost childlike. Wearing leather Golf Le Fleurs, a ‘No Violence!’ t-shirt and a hat bearing the words ‘Problem Child’ (all his own label, Golf Wang), Tyler looks like your friend’s shy younger brother, sheepishly sliding and shimmying across the stage during some of the songs with funkier arrangements, and walking around the set's large trees and logs like he’s exploring".

That was a really nice read, R564. I hope he reads that one

R554, just adding to what r555 said: Tyler specifically references track ten of Skiptracing (Chapel Perilous) on Glitter ("We can track ten skiptrace/caught in your quicksand wait/please don't save me"). A while back he tweeted a page from his art journal (posted earlier in this thread) that looks like a drawing of him and Wyatt at a "prom" with the caption "Chapel Perilous come true...." So that song seems to be especially significant.

On his Twitter bio once again

I'm almost disturbed by how much I like Tyler the Creator now. I wold have never imagine i would be actually invested in this guy. I mean, if you ignore the fucked up shit he's said in the past, he seems like a really sweet, sensitive, interesting guy who's just obsessed with romance (and white boys with rosy cheeks).

R568 Tyler is a unique artist and a sensitive soul, he deserves so much more appreciation. He probably has ADHD since he took Ritalin a while ago (I think I read about it in a Dazed interview), but it started interfering with his asthma medication so he isn’t on it anymore. He’s calmer now so that could be part of the reason, as well as just getting older

I love this interview with him, especially 25:05 and onwards. Pretty sure Earl Sweatshirt is the friend he’s talking about.

R568 You shouldn't be disturbed at all, he's really an interesting person and a great artist . Like from the outside you could perceived him like this crazy, weirdo, irreverent guy but the more you get to know him you see there's a lot more of him. And of course his amazing creative mind, i mean the guy writes and produces music, videos, and TV, has a clothing and shoe line. IMO he's a visionary that doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

"san junipero but with lafs and pks" was my favorite semi-recent bio of his, R567. I love that he watches Black Mirror and likes the gay episode.

r572 He watched it a couple of times too, I remember a while after he had that bio he also shared an insta story with a screenshot of that episode

I tried watching his Coachella set again but it just made me depressed because of the crowd, this one was great though - he really feeds of the crowd and them knowing every word makes him so genuinely happy.

r574 lol me too, I even have it on google drive that someone shared but couldn't make myself to watch it again :/

Tyler’s friendship with Rocky is hilarious to me, they couldn’t be more different yet their chemistry is so good. Did somebody put together all that back-and-forth they did on instagram a few weeks ago?

R576 Tyler better be on Testing

r576 this one you mean? It was hilarious

Who's the guy in the picture with him? What band is he from?

It’s Jay Kay R580

From Jamiroquai

Also ‘green laf’ refers to his green LaFerrari

OMG he got old

If Tyler is only into white twinks, he is a reverse racist and self-loathing black man.

I thought we concluded he was into black dudes too.

R578 Lol yes exactly, there was some more but that was the funniest.

R586 Really? He only seems to sing/rap about pale guys with rosy cheeks and he follows so many white twinks on instagram.

Tyler, Kevin Abstract, Frank Ocean and Steve Lacy all hate their fathers who were absent when they grew up and now they only go for white guys, it’s both funny and sad

New thread for when this one is full.

r585 Oh no this again 🙄 we went through that already

R592 ?

Part 2
