Fans suspect the 26-year-old spitter will potentially come out as a gay on his new album which is set to arrive on July 21.

AceShowbiz - Tyler, the Creator's new album "Scum Fuck Flower Boy" was leaked online, and fans couldn't help but wonder if the rapper had come out as a gay on the new effort. On a song called "I Ain't Got Time", Tyler rapped about "kissing white boys since 2004."
Meanwhile, on another track titled "Garden Shed", he appeared to be discussing his struggle to come out of the closet while spitting, "Them feelings I was guardin', 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 they ain't wanna walk/ 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."
It was probably not very surprising, though. Back in 2015, Tyler took to Twitter to come out as a gay, but everyone thought he was joking. "I TRIED TO COME OUT THE DAMN CLOSET LIKE FOUR DAYS AGO BUT NO ONE CARED HAHAHHAHAHA," he tweeted. People didn't take him seriously because the rapper was known as a homophobic rapper since he used the word "faggot" 213 times on his 2011 debut album.

Twitter went wild by Tyler's potential confession. A user tweeted, "Tyler been saying he was on some gay s**t forever but we all thought it was trolling lmaooo. No wonder his earlier music was so homophobic." Meanwhile, another wrote, "Tyler, the Creator coming out as gay is some of the least surprising yet very surprising news I've heard in a while."

On the other hand, some users weren't surprised that Tyler decided to come out through music. "Kind of makes sense that Tyler is gay. The name of the album is 'flower boy,' " a user wrote, while another tweeted, "I'm not surprised Tyler The Creator is Bi/Gay I'm just wondering why it took him so damn long to come out the closet when we all knew lowkey."
