R&B singer Keke Wyatt publicly denied allegations of homophobia and claimed affection for her children after her son accused her of exploiting his illness for attention. Wyatt’s remarks arrive amid backlash sparked by a social-media revelation from her 23-year-old son, Rahjah Ke’ Morton.
Son Alleges Exploitation and Homophobic Remarks
Rahjah, who is part of the LGBTQ community and a cancer survivor, used the “#PutAFingerDown” online challenge to share his painful experience. He said his leukemia diagnosis was used publicly for her attention. He also alleged she referred to his illness as “karma” for being gay and suggested she might have withheld financial support had she known his sexuality.
His post, featuring four remaining fingers, went viral. On TikTok he said: “Your diagnosis is karma for you being part of the alphabet mafia,” and added that had she known about his sexuality, “they would’ve kept their money.”
Keke Wyatt Responds
Wyatt responded—via a social post cited by Yahoo Entertainment—writing, “I love my son, and I love all of my children. I love all people. Anyone who truly knows me understands there is not a homophobic bone in my body.”
She continued, “Like any parent, every day is not sunshine—but my love for my children never changes. I kindly ask that you respect our family, keep us in your prayers, and allow us the privacy to move forward in peace.”
Wyatt has not offered further public comment. No legal steps have been reported. Entertainment circles now await whether she will elaborate in interviews or other media. Meanwhile, fans and critics continue to weigh her legacy as both a celebrated vocalist and a mother in the spotlight.
