Keke Wyatt‘s 23-year-old son, Rahjah Ke’ Morton, has spoken out with claims that the singer used his cancer diagnosis for clout and called it “karma” for his being gay.
While joining in on the “put a finger down” TikTok trend, Morton seemed to tell fans that his mother was not truly supportive of him and instead abused him in private.
“Put 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, but behind the scenes saying that your diagnosis is karma for you being apart of the Alphabet mafia — and if they known that you were gonna turn out like this they could’ve kept their money.”
Social media quickly jumped into Morton’s comments with support for him and slander for Wyatt.
“Mind you she out here singing for pride events,” one user commented.
Well, that surely is something. She wouldn’t be the first performer to cash a pride check and later be outed for homophobia if Morton’s claims are true. Wyatt announced her son’s cancer diagnosis back in 2017 via an Instagram post where she also told her fans that she planned to shave her head in solidarity with Rahjah.
Though he was diagnosed with stage 4 leukemia, Morton successfully underwent chemotherapy and beat cancer in 2018. The mother and son duo appeared in a YouTube video about his treatment journey the same year, where they discussed their feelings upon first hearing his diagnosis.
“I said, ‘What is it? Like, cancer or something?’ And she said, ‘Yes.’ Honey, my butthole fell on the floor. My throat hit my butt and my butt hit the floor. I couldn’t believe it,” she said at the time.
Wyatt revealed that she first noticed signs of Morton’s illness during a family trip to Disney World, where he was unable to walk and stand for long periods of time. After he began losing weight at an alarming rate, they all began to worry.
“Because I was dying! I was literally dying, and we didn’t know,” Rahjah recalled in the video.
Keke has yet to respond to the claims made by her son but something tells us she’s not going to stay silent for too long.
Keke Wyatt is opening up about being a mother of 11 children — that’s right, 11 children. As The Shade Room previously reported, Wyatt welcomed her youngest child, Ke’Zyah Jean Darring, in May 2022.

The 41-year-old R&B singer spoke exclusively with US Weekly for an interview published Friday. During the conversation, Wyatt explained that juggling life and responsibilities as a mother of 11 is “not hard at all.”
Contrary to popular belief, Wyatt has seamlessly curated a schedule for spending valued time with all of her children.
“It actually is not hard at all,” the singer told the outlet. “So if I have to go to the store, I’ll take one with me, and that’s our time. Or if I’m going to the studio to record, I’ll take one, whoever’s asking to go. I just do it like that, and I get my one-on-one time in.”
The Singer Opens Up About Her Youngest Son & His Impact On Her Older Children
During the interview, Wyatt also spoke about caring for her youngest child, Ke’Zyah Jean. As The Shade Room previously reported, the 1-year-old was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Trisomy 13 before his birth.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, the condition affects how one’s “face, brain, and heart develop, along with several other internal organs.”
Wyatt explained that her family is “very grateful” for the toddler and loves him “just the way he is.” Additionally, the singer shared gratitude and praise for her older children’s outlook toward their youngest sibling.
“We are very grateful, and we love him just the way he is. We don’t want him any other way,” Wyatt explained to US Weekly. “It’s so beautiful to sit back and watch how they just love on him. And it’s almost as if there’s nothing different about him to them. I feel very honored that the Lord showed me how to raise children to be those types of people.”

According to US Weekly, Wyatt shares her four eldest children with her ex-husband, Rahmat Morton, four children with ex-husband Michael Jamar Ford, and her three youngest children with her current husband, Zackariah Darring.
When asked for her thoughts on continuing to expand her family, Wyatt remains open.
“I thought it was complete at 10, and here’s 11. So I don’t know,” the 41-year-old admitted. “I can say yes and then look up, and now we got 12. I don’t know, I’ll just say that.”
As The Shade Room reported, Wyatt echoed similar sentiments when asked the same question on an episode of TV One’s ‘Uncensored’ aired last year. Check out her thoughts below!
