Singer Keke Wyatt has addressed recent allegations made by her 23-year-old son, Rahjah Ke’ Morton, who claimed in a viral TikTok video that she referred to his cancer diagnosis as “karma” for being gay.
Rahjah, a cancer survivor, participated in the “Put a Finger Down” TikTok challenge to share a deeply painful experience. He alleged that his mother publicly showcased his leukemia diagnosis when he was a teen, suggesting it was used for attention. He then revealed that, privately, Wyatt told him the illness was “karma” for his sexuality and implied that, had she known he was gay, “they would’ve kept their money.”
Following the wave of reactions online, Wyatt released a brief public response. She emphasized her love for her son and for all her children, stating that anyone who truly knows her would understand there is “not a homophobic bone” in her body. She acknowledged that not every day is perfect but insisted her love remains unwavering. Wyatt also asked the public to respect her family’s privacy and offered up prayers instead of criticism.
Rahjah’s TikTok videos also clarified his health status. He confirmed that he is cancer-free and in remission since August 2020, nearly five years. He shared that while his journey has had its struggles, including coping with hair loss, he’s doing well and adjusting to regular life. He also discussed the emotional weight of being “Brother Daddy” to his siblings, helping raise them while seeking healing and reconnection.
Her public denial has been succinct. She affirmed her love for her children and denied any homophobic intent. However, she did not directly address all of her son’s specific claims about exploitation or karma. Her request for privacy suggests she may not wish to delve deeper into the situation publicly, at least for now. As the story continues to gain attention, it remains unclear whether Wyatt or her son will elaborate further.
