Tyler, The Creator has rarely held his tongue on anything, whether it be the current music scene or his feelings toward fans. The 33-year-old rapper recently requested for fans to stop asking him “weird a** questions.”
“Yo when you see me dont be asking questions like ‘whY are you here in a major city….. are you renting a house here…where you going,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Like ni**a I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND, are you a cop? weird a** questions… say hi blah blah and keep it moving so i can finish my walk.” There were mixed reactions from fans in his comments.
“Yeah I asked you where Frank was one time and you said ‘idk n word I am not his parole officer,’” one user wrote. Another called him out for seemingly backtracking on a previous stance. “You’re the same dude who tells ppl you’d rather have a conversation irl than take a pic w them and then if they try to make small talk is that a problem too,” the fan wrote. Of course, a conversation can be had without asking someone’s temporary whereabouts so this may not have been the “gotcha” that the fan thought it was.
“I’d be sick to my stomach if I saw this after I met bro,” another fan wrote. One of the funniest responses was “Bruh you told me to call you when I get lost and its been 3 days and you still haven’t returned my call,” a reference to his Grammy-winning 2021 album Call Me If You Get Lost.
The former Odd Future member can be found on the CHROMAKOPIA: World Tour up through the fall. So far, he has hit cities like Milwaukee, Kansas City, Denver, and Los Angeles. The remaining major stops include Seattle, San Francisco, Phoenix, Austin, Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta, among others, before he heads overseas in April and May.
This tour is in support of his October 2024 album of the same name. The 14-song LP featured Lil Wayne, Sexyy Red, GloRilla, Doechii, and more, selling 299,500 album-equivalent units in its first week and debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Listen below.
