A$AP Rocky clarified viral rumors surrounding Tyler, The Creator’s sexuality during a highly publicized interview spotlighting his artistry and upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb. The interview, published August 5, 2026, by GQ, asked Rocky about a resurfaced clip where fans speculated about Tyler. Rocky shut down the chatter, saying “Tyler is my brother, stop playing with people’s personal life.”
Rocky’s comments came as part of a larger rollout for Don’t Be Dumb, his first album in over 7 years. The Harlem rapper discussed fashion, fatherhood, and his friendship with Tyler dating back to 2011’s Goblin era. He emphasized that Tyler’s artistry should be the focus, not tabloid speculation about his private life.
The clip went viral within hours, with fans praising Rocky for defending his longtime collaborator. Tyler and Rocky have collaborated on “Telephone Calls,” “Who Dat Boy,” and 2024’s “Wharf Talk.” With both artists dropping this fall, fans are hoping the interview kills the rumors for good.
