Tyler, the Creator Knew Frank Ocean Was Gay Because of His Snack Preferences
FUSE TV - Tyler, the Creator Knew Frank Ocean Was Gay Because of His Snack Preferences
Odd Future frontman/most eloquent orator Tyler, the Creator tells Rolling Stone that he knew bandmate/close friend Frank Ocean was gay before the Channel Orange singer ever came out. Ocean revealed his sexuality in a blog post last summer, confessing that his first love was a man.
"Yeah, I was one of the first people he [came out to]," Tyler told the magazine (via Complex). "I kinda knew [he was gay], because he likes Pop Tarts without frosting on them, so I knew something was weird. [Laughs] But that's my n-gga." Coming from someone whose Twitter bio is "I AM NOT A D-KE," it's possible that's as sensitive as Tyler gets. So... round of applause?
But does Ocean's sexuality change Tyler's heavy usage of the F-word (not the four-letter one, by the way)? Not quite. "He knows me, and he knows I don't care about being gay. ['F-ggot'] is just another word to me. The same as 'n-gga.'" Tyler continues, "Let's say Frank started using the word 'f-g,' just jokingly. People would be so f-cking confused! They wouldn't know what to do. And it could take the power out of that word."
