Days after professing his love for Tyler, the Creator — first on stage, then online — Jaden Smith has deleted a tweet confirming the whirlwind romance.
To back it up, Smith made the initial announcement during a recent show at Dodgers Stadium, although judging by his delivery and Tyler’s reaction, we’re guessing the gesture was more symbolic than literal.

“I just want to say Tyler, the Creator is the best friend in the whole world and I love him so f*cking much,” the 20-year-old performer said. “And I want to tell you guys something… Tyler doesn’t want to say, but Tyler is my motherf*cking boyfriend, and he’s been my motherf*cking boyfriend my whole f*cking life. Tyler the Creator is my f*cking boyfriend! It’s true!”
How about we take this to the next level?

Smith followed that up with a tweet directed at Tyler, writing: “Yup @tylerthecreator I Told Everyone You Can’t Deny It Now.”
He has since deleted that tweet, making this story even stranger than it already was.

And to add intrigue, Smith posted a photo of the two instead, along with the date “November 17”, suggesting a possible collaboration coming soon:

With the deleted tweet, it would seem Smith would rather the conversation be about his upcoming release, and not his “relationship” with Tyler.
It’s pretty clear the guys aren’t actually dating, but that hasn’t stopped Twitter from leaving comments like this on the photo:

But not everyone is buying the hype:

If Jaden Smith really is gay and dating tyler the creator, he’s gaining a lot of new fans and losing some old ones. If he isn’t, young twitter coming for his head for joking about it.
Either way he’s got the headlines right before he drops. He learned from Kanye’s method ?

This isn’t the first time Smith has shown Tyler some love. Back in 2015, he tweeted:
@fucktyler I Think Im In Love With You, I Don't Know I'm Still Figuring It Out But In The Meantime, Happy Birthday.

I wonder if those who vehemently supported his “revelation” about a man falling THRU the earth still support revelations now? I feel sorry for this kid. By next week I guess he start the Justin Bieber routine of showing us butt pics.

You are absolutely right. But i am here to recommend you one brilliant place to find what you exactly need and (i hope) looking for. It is for gay singles only. Just check my name. There are a lot of real gay sugar “daddies” and frivolous gay singles looking for love and pleasure
Vince
I guess he was following the other tw*t Aron Carter and his fake bisexuality to promote an album that no one cared about. I can say with 100% certainty that’s a collaboration I’ll be missing.
Brgod
I so agree, this comment says it all!!
Lacuevaman
trash. pure and simple.
nmharleyrider
Didn’t care when you first announced it was happening and care even less now that you say it is over. It got him what he needs that he cannot get by legitimate means, attention. Daddy Smith needs to give the guy a heavy flogging.
ldweisberg
Are done updating this non-story?
Brian
Thank you. This was always for the clicks, as nearly everyone said from the beginning. If we’re going to have a “news article” about it, then write about how gay-baiting is or isn’t profitable or homophobic. Say something original. Not this dreck.
Karrnal
How many days of tedious non-news is Queerty going to pass off as news? Jaden’s just proving what a hustler he is.
Greg
Really? So Will Smith raised a twink? What’s up with that? Little narcissist seems to think people care if he’s gay or not. I’ve never heard of that Cedric the Creator.
Kangol
Tyler, the Creator, is originally from the group Odd Future.
You’re confusing him with Cedric the Entertainer, a completely different black person.
toddlicious
Why is this news??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Please make this story go away.
Kieran
Why did YOU click on a story you want to “go away”???????????????????????????????????????????????

So Queerty would rather go on milking this story and publicising these twerps than call out the underlying homophobia of their supposedly amusing tweets? Exactly whose side are you on?
Mack
I think he’s trying to force Tyler out of the closet and it’s backfiring on him. But then again WHO CARES?
Donston
It was clearly a joke/an attempt to show support to a friend/a grasp for attention that the media and Twitter twits jumped on. We’re also in a time where guys publicly detaching themselves from conventional heterosexuality (or in some cases conventional homosexuality) is supposed to show how sensitive and complex that guy is.
Kangol
Tyler’s already come out. Repeatedly.
But if you don’t care, why are you posting about this? Just ignore it.
dean089
That awkward moment when a poorly planned publicity stunt goes awry. But, hey, thanks to this non-story we went two whole days without hearing about what Gus Kenworthy had for breakfast, whether or not he trimmed his toenails, and all the other GK non-news we’re bombarded with here, so it’s not a complete loss.
Brgod
Total publicity stunt for Jaden! No one cares about Will Smith’s son, he was trying to get the media, public to talk about him and it totally backfired!!
