Tyler, The Creator Slams Taylor Swift Fans For Scrutinizing His Controversial Lyrics, Calls Them ‘Racist’

by

As someone who has been following Tyler, the Creator’s career since his early days, I must say that his unapologetic approach to addressing criticism is both refreshing and disconcerting at the same time. His latest album, Chromakopia, showcases his growth as an artist and his ability to push boundaries in a way only he can.

At his recent concert in Boston, Grammy-winning rapper Tyler, the Creator (whose real name is Tyler Okonma) warned fans of Taylor Swift who are labeled as racist for bringing up his old questionable lyrics from more than a decade ago. While performing, Tyler openly discussed the criticisms leveled against him by Taylor Swift’s fans regarding the 2011 song “Tron Cat.

While netizens dug out violent, misogynistic, and homophobic lyrics from various songs, one particular that Tyler mentioned was Torn Cat. He told the Swifties, “I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist a*s — bringing up old lyrics, b*tch, go listen to ‘Tron Cat,’ I don’t give a f*ck b**ch.”

As a lifestyle expert, I can’t help but marvel at Tyler’s latest release, CHROMAKOPIA, which hit the shelves on October 28, 2024. This album has been making waves across multiple music charts and generating buzz in the industry with his exceptional songwriting and production skills. The album boasts an impressive lineup of guest musicians including Daniel Caesar, Doechii, GloRilla, Lil Wayne, Childish Gambino, LaToiya Williams, and others.

Tyler told his crowd,”[Swifties] gonna bring out the old me.”

Straight away, Chromakopia soared up the streaming charts following its debut. For over a day, the musician held the number one spot on the worldwide Spotify chart before being ousted by Swift on Thursday and landing in second position.

In the track “Torn Cat,” Tyler delivers a line that’s sparked widespread interest: “I raped a pregnant woman and told my friends I had a threesome.” Although this song has been accessible on various streaming services for more than ten years, it’s recently garnered attention from Swifties.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve noticed a lively conversation unfolding lately among Taylor Swift’s fans, myself included, after she surpassed The Tortured Poets Department hitmaker for the first time on an international Spotify chart that she had been dominating all year. A passionate Swiftie fan account, known as Tron Cat on X (previously Twitter), shared some of Tyler’s old lyrics in response, garnering a staggering 270,000 likes.

In this specific song, Tyler expresses themes of daily violence that some listeners categorize as containing offensive language. Another fan of Taylor Swift even joked, “Despite his fans claiming he’s evolved past such lyrics and apologized, here he is reaffirming the same message.

It appears that Tyler The Creator’s album Chromakopia is expected to make a powerful entrance on the Billboard 200 chart, potentially setting new records for him as his most-streamed and highest-charting album so far.
