In February 2011, he uploaded the music video for “Yonkers”, which was the first single from his debut album entitled “Goblin”, eventually released in early May of the same year, featuring 15 songs including the title song, “She”, “Transylvania”, “Nightmare” and “Her”. It made its debut on the US Billboard 200 at number five, having sold more than 45,000 copies in the US alone in its first week of release, and subsequently gaining gold certification from the RIAA, and achieving success in countries such as Norway and the UK.

Personal Life
The lyrics of Tyler’s album “Flower Boy” stirred rumors that Tyler is gay. In one interview, he revealed that he had a boyfriend when he was 15, however, later on he said that it was only a figure of speech. When it comes to his religious beliefs, Tyler is an atheist, and throughout his career his tracks have been filled with anti-religious lyrics, most notably on “Goblin” and “Bastard”. Reportedly, Tyler is a big fan of BMX bikes.
Controversies
Tyler has been criticized for the use of homophobic language in his lyrics and on his Twitter page. However, he denied being homophobic, stating that he uses the slur as adjectives to describe “stupid s*it”. Later on, he added that he has gay fans, who don’t take it as an offence. Despite all of that, he was the first one who openly supported Frank Ocean, the member of Odd Future, when he came out as gay. In addition to being accused of homophobia, Tyler has also been accused of sexism, as the result of his apparently somewhat misogynistic lyrics, including being criticized by fellow singers Sara and Tegan. Regardless, he is still single.yellow carpet pic.twitter.com/Hk6tmVtQqP
