The Smith family has been in the headlines since the Oscar controversy earlier this week. However, this is not the first time in 2022 when a member of the Smith family sparked a scandal onstage. Earlier this year, Will’s son Jaden Smith made headlines and led people to speculate about his sexuality when he called Tyler, the Creator, his boyfriend. So is Jaden Smith Gay?
Is Jaden Smith Gay?
The son of Hollywood megastar Will Smith has been subjected to several rumors despite such young age. For years now, there have been speculations that the rapper is homosexual. However, in 2015, Jaden publically denied the claims of him being gay. But recently, an incident has sparked the fire again. During Flog Gnaw Carnival music festival in January 2022, Jaden said that Tyler, the Creator is his boyfriend.
On stage, Jaden stated, “I wanna tell you… Tyler doesn’t want to say, but Tyler’s my motherf**king boyfriend and he’s been my motherf**king boyfriend my whole fucking life!” He also added, “if you take anything away from this fucking show, that’s what you take away!”
Although fans started to react to their supposed romance quickly, we know it was nothing more than a practical joke. This is because the two creators have been good friends for several years. Tyler, the Creator, on the other hand, neither refuted it nor simply accepted it as a joke. Jaden Smith and Tyler the Creator are very close friends who spend time together and enjoy messing with each other, leading to Jaden Smith gay rumors.
And when it comes to Jaden Smith, he’s been as open as a fluid that flows in whichever direction it pleases. Jaden has never acknowledged his sexuality. However, he has hinted that he is gay, bisexual, or pansexual on several occasions.
