![]() His/Feliciathegoat's latest Instagram post reveals the worldwide release of One Star & Golf le Fleur, a project he's working on with Converse. But in this case, it's none other than Tyler, the Creator's Instagram account. So, Feliciathegoat could be anything right? A lady named Felicia who got on the wrong side of Tyler and has now, deservedly, been called a goat a farm animal that just looked like a Felicia or someone who climbs vertical mountains and is the best at it i.e. he isn't straight.) Enter: Feliciathegoat So while he does seem to be stating that he is gay, it's hard to know for sure because Tyler, the Creator is one curvy dude (ie. In it, he says, 'Truth is, since a youth kid, thought it was a phase / Thought it'd be like the Frank poof, gone / But it's still goin' on.' In " Ain't Got Time," he raps '“Next line, I'll have ’em like whoa / I've been kissing white boys since 2004.,' and in "Garden State" he references Frank Ocean, who has come out. In Tyler, the Creator's latest album, Flower Boy, several lyrics seem to reveal the artists sexuality. The answer may have been revealed in Tyler's latest album, Flower Boy, where he alludes at coming out. With homosexuality and homophobia both on the cards for Tyler, the Creator, it's hard to know whether or not he's out and proud or still closeted. The American rapper has hinted at being gay for several years, with tongue-in-cheek Tweets and hints in interviews, yet he has also released an album (2011s Goblin) with over 200 homophobic slurs. When the 64th annual Grammy Awards do get rescheduled, there’s a high probability that Tyler - maybe rocking a stylish sweater vest, bellhop hat and baby-blue-painted nails - will be on that stage once again, proving to the world that his talent, ingenuity and ambition far outweighed any lingering moral distaste.Tyler, the Creator is an up and down, here and there kind of artist. Whether that was the beginning of a type of rebirth for Tyler, the Creator is only something he knows, but one thing is certain - this is Tyler’s moment. On the 2017 album “Flower Boy,” Tyler slid in a jarring confession on the song “Ain’t Got Time” in which he said, “Next line will have ’em like, ‘Whoa’ / I’ve been kissing white boys since 2004,” an obvious shift from the homophobia presented on previous Odd Future projects. ![]() For years, people have assumed Tyler is gay or bisexual, and while he’s never exactly admitted it - at least not without a joke attached to it - he seems more comfortable in his skin than he’s ever been. Then there was “Massa,” which came with a line that appeared to address his sexuality: “Everyone I ever loved had to be loved in the shadows,” another “a-ha” moment for those still curious about his private life. ![]() As he spit on “Corso,” “Turn the fuckin’ noise up… my heart broken / Remember I was rich so I bought me some new emotions / And a new boat ’cause I rather cry in the ocean.” Between the braggadocious bars about his Rolls Royce and multiple homes, typical of what’s found in the homogenized rap that rules the Billboard charts, Tyler also presented a refreshing vulnerability typically shunned by men in the rap world. ![]() The growth and maturity Tyler has exhibited over the last few years has been palpable, especially on “Call Me If You Get Lost.”īoasting features from Lil Wayne, NBA YoungBoy, Pharrell Williams, Lil Uzi Vert and more, the 16-track album effortlessly illustrated Tyler’s appeal with both a mainstream rap audience and underground hip-hop nerds who still appreciate his anti-establishment attitude. It may have taken him nearly a decade to nab a gilded trophy, but it was well deserved. “I FAVORITED THIS 9 YEARS AGO JUST FOR THE MOMENT TO TELL YOU I GOT ONE,” Tyler tweeted in January 2020. Shortly after his win, he had what he described as a “petty” moment and drudged up an old tweet from someone who insisted he’d never win one. 1 Billboard 200 albums (to competitor DJ Khaled’s apparent chagrin), picked up a Grammy in the best rap album category (for 2020’s “Igor”) and earned a second nod in the same division, for 2021’s “Call Me If You Get Lost.”īut Tyler predicted he would win a Grammy over 12 years ago, a testament to his unabashed confidence. ![]() He’s helmed his own fashion lines (the recently launched Golf le Fleur and Golf Wang), earned two No. Now 30, Tyler’s bold and often brash creativity has opened the door for a multi-faceted career. After all, he’s the same person who rapped “Rape a pregnant bitch and tell my friends I had a threesome” on the 2011 “Goblin” single “Tron Cat.” That’s not to say he still doesn’t have the occasional controversial bar, but they’re tame by Odd Future standards. Since breaking out on his own, he has slowly evolved into a modern-day renaissance man - and it’s truly been inspiring to watch, if not a bit unbelievable. ![]()
