Instead of lighthearted prompts, he detailed his own experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cPut a finger down if you were diagnosed with cancer as a teenager and your parent decided to publicly announce your diagnosis for personal gain and attention,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He went on to claim his mother told him his illness was \u201ckarma\u201d for being a gay man, adding that she suggested she would have \u201ckept her money\u201d had she known how he would &#8220;turn out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/shop?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_campaign=shop2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

One person wrote on X, \u201cThis is DISGRACEFUL!!!!!!! I\u2019m GAGGGEEDDD!!! Not Keke not liking the gays Chile! I\u2019m sorry her son had to go thru that.\u201d Another user reacted with disbelief, posting, \u201cI\u2019m gagging I didn\u2019t know this was your mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Wyatt has not publicly responded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Back in 2017, Wyatt made headlines after revealing Rahjah\u2019s leukemia diagnosis in an emotional Instagram video. At the time, she shaved her head in solidarity, with family members following her lead. \u201cMy child has been fighting cancer and lost all of their hair that they loved. It hurts me so bad,\u201d she told fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A year later, she announced his recovery in a celebratory YouTube video, sharing that her son was officially cancer-free.
