Keke Wyatt‘s second eldest son Rahjah Ke Morton went viral on Friday for saying his mother called his teenage cancer diagnosis “karma” for being gay.
Rahjah, 23, made the statement in an Instagram post after a clip from KeKe’s 2023 reality TV show, “Keke Wyatt’s World,” resurfaced last week.
Rahjah said that his mother exploited his cancer diagnosis for “personal gain and attention.” But behind closed doors she allegedly told Rahjah that his cancer was “karma” for being gay.
Rahjah’s words upset Keke’s LGBTQ fans who thought she was an ally.
“Definitely look at you so much different now,” one person wrote on Facebook, “guess having all the damn kids don’t make you a parent smh.”
Another person wrote: “If my child was diagnosed with cancer, the only thing I would do is surrounded [sic] with love and healing, not my religious beliefs.”
In a follow-up post on Saturday, Rahjah claims he never meant to put his mom on blast publicly. He said he never expected his post to go viral.
Keke responded to the homohobia allegations in a post on Instagram.
“I will publicly address this one time only… I love my son, and I love all of my children,” the mother of 11 said. “I love all people. Anyone who truly knows me understands there is not a homophobic bone in my body. 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. Love y’all, KeKe.”
