Pics 4 trade

Tyler the Creator opens up about his sexuality and swapping D pics with Jaden Smith

This just in: Tyler the Creator has apparently been soliciting his buddy Jaden Smith for d*ck pics.

In a new interview with Fantastic Man, Tyler explains: “I always tell people to send d*ck pics when I hang up, because it’s so awkward. Like, what the f*ck did you say?”

So, really, it has nothing to do with Jaden. Tyler signs off on every conversation by saying “send d*ck pics.”

And all this time we thought we were special.

Tyler also opened up about his sexuality in the interview, after maybe probably coming out in the song “Garden Shed” on his 2017 album Flower Boy.

In the song, Tyler croons:

Ayo
Garden shed, garden shed, garden shed, garden shed
For the garden
That is what I was hiding
That is what love I was I in
Ain’t no reason to pretend
Garden shed, garden shed, garden shed
Garden shed for the garcons
Them feelings I was guarding
Heavy on my mind
All my friends lost
They couldn’t read the signs
I didn’t wanna talk and tell em’ my location
And I didn’t wanna walk
Truth is, since you kid, I thought it was a phase
Thought it would be like the Frank poof, gone
But, it’s still going on
Big fan of the base 10
Polk a dot nose how it goes
Had to keep it on the subwoofer
A couple butterflies when I float
I was always like ehhh
Barely interested, but I went to my boys like bruh
This is a crucial subject matter
Sensitive like cooking batter
‘Till the temperature that’s rising
Stepping on that ladder
Tryna grab the rings of Saturn
I’m a plant it by the time you hear this
Chittin’ chatter bout to heat it
It will not f*cking matter

When asked about the lyrics and what they might say about his sexuality, Tyler tells Fantastic Man, “It’s still such a grey area with people, which is cool with me. Even though I’m considered loud and out there, I’m private, which is a weird dichotomy. The juxtaposition of loud and quiet is weird.”

He continues, “It’s a literal question and the thing about humans is we hate not having an answer. We hate not being in the know. So people will bullsh*t answers, make shit up, instead of being just, like.”

“I don’t know. There are some things that are just unexplainable.”
