The question surrounding Jaden Smith's sexuality arose in 2017 when he stated that he and his fellow artist, Tyler the Creator, were in a relationship. The incident took place in Camp Flag Gnaw. Jaden took to the stage and stated that Tyler was his boyfriend. He added that Tyler did not want to say it but that the two had been in a relationship 'their whole life.'

Three years later, the allegations resurfaced when Tyler posted a tweet saying that his boyfriend had just won a Grammy Award. This was in reference to Jaden's victory at the Grammys. Following these announcements, the issue of Jaden's sexuality has been on many people's lips.

Still, the truth behind the said announcements remains unseen since there is nothing that openly suggests Jaden is gay or transgender. In addition, the rapper has never openly stated that he prefers dating men over women. As a matter of fact, he has been linked with numerous women over the years.

Sometime in 2016, Jaden appeared as a model wearing a skirt in a Louis Vuitton womenswear campaign. The same year, he became the new face of Louis Vuitton clothes and, more precisely, the womenswear section. This suggested that he was into the gender-neutral conversation, though, again, he never confirmed it.

Is Jaden Smith gay, and what are his mom and dad saying about the situation? One cannot comprehensively label the popular rapper as gay or transgender, especially given that he has openly said or made known his affiliation.
