Jaden Smith made some revealing statements during a recent performance at the 2018 Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival and people can’t decide whether he’s joking or being dead serious. While addressing the crowd, the 20-year-old artist claimed Tyler The Creator is his boyfriend.
“Tyler The Creator is the best friend and I love him so fucking much,” he said. “I wanna tell you guys something. I wanna tell you. Tyler doesn’t wanna say but Tyler is my muthafuckin’ boyfriend and he’s been my boyfriend my whole fuckin’ life. Tyler The Creator is my fucking boyfriend. It’s true.”
Meanwhile, Tyler was off to the side shaking his finger at the crowd, seemingly denying it.

Smith hopped on Twitter later and doubled down on his claim.
“Yup @tylerthecreator I Told Everyone You Can’t Deny It Now.”

Fans aren’t quite sure what to do with the news. Over the years, there’s been heavy speculation about the Odd Future rapper’s sexual orientation. In fact, he’s claimed he’s gay in the past.

Tyler loves pranks and if he’s friends with Smith, it wouldn’t be surprising if the SYRE mastermind is just trying to fool everyone.
