When explicitly asked about past encounters with men, Tyler answered, “I like girls. I just end up f*****g their brother every time.”

Per usual, it’s not apparent as to whether or not the 28-year-old artist is serious or queerbaiting.

Simultaneously, the rapper has been criticized for using antigay slurs in his records, especially on his debut album, which emphasized the word “f****t” more than 200 times. He’s also been scrutinized for using the word “gay” as an insult in interviews.
