Is Tyler, The Creator Morgan Freeman’s Kid?

The notion that Tyler is Morgan Freeman’s son is simply another random celebrity rumor that appears to have no basis in reality.

Tyler was born on March 6, 1991, in Ladera Heights, California, the son of a Nigerian father with Igbo ancestry and an American mother of mixed African-American and European-Canadian descent.

He never met his father and spent his early life living in Ladera Heights and nearby Hawthorne.

Few details are known about Tyler’s father, but the rapper has referred to him on multiple occasions throughout his career.

Outside of the lyrics on “Bastard,” Tyler also rapped about his father directly on the song “Answer” as well as indirectly on a variety of other songs throughout his career.

In a since-deleted Twitter post, Tyler told fans that he has moved on from the negative feelings he harbored toward his father for abandoning him.

Then, while being interviewed by Larry King in 2014, Tyler said, “Nah dude, I’m stoked!” about not having a father. “I think if I had a dad I would have went the normal college route like a lot of other people.”

He later added, “I’m so stoked my life turned out how it was. I just decide to rap about it to seem like I’m sad.”
