(Audio) Interview – Tyler, The Creator Says He Had a Boyfriend at 15 yrs old
The casual mention shouldn’t come as a huge surprise to fans — Flower Boy is laced with verses that stir speculation over Tyler’s sexuality. For instance, the “Ain’t Got Time” lyric: “Next line will have ’em like ‘Whoa’/ I’ve been kissing white boys since 2004.”
Tyler, The Creator‘s new album Flower Boy has gotten good reviews across the board, and there’s been talk surrounding his song “Garden Shed,” where he seemingly admits to being bisexual.
Since releasing the cut, the Odd Future leader hasn’t spoken out about his sexuality, but he did so earlier this week on Know Wave’s Koopz Tunes radio.
“I had a boyfriend when I was15 in f—— Hawthorne,” said Tyler. “If that’s not open minded, I don’t know what is.”
Overt the course of the hour and a half long interview, he also drops a freestyle, says that 2 Chainz is his favorite rapper right now, and shows love to Pharrell who he says is “a weird black man, who talks about buying million dollar vehicles out of boredom.”
