Tariq Nasheed addressed the longstanding rumors about Tyler Perry's sexuality and why Perry remains closeted if he's in fact gay. Nasheed explained that Perry’s core audience—primarily the Black church—is a major factor keeping him from coming out. Nasheed also touched on the origins of the rumors, mentioning an alleged civil lawsuit that could be financially motivated. He emphasized that if Perry were truly gay and wanted privacy, “he’d keep it private,” especially given the stakes involved. Comparing Perry’s situation to artists like Lil Nas X, who has embraced his sexuality publicly, Nasheed noted that Perry’s audience and brand are deeply entwined with faith-based values, making coming out more complicated for the filmmaker and actor.
