In Los Angeles, Tyler, The Creator had quite the evening as he navigated through a sea of paparazzi post the GQ Men of the Year event. While initially appearing in high spirits, things quickly soured.
Tyler, who was at the Chateau Marmont, was leaving the event when photographers swarmed him.
He seemed unfazed at first, jokingly warning them to step back, “Y’all n***as back the f*ck up, for real,” he said, jesting about hitting them to win a lawsuit.
One photographer called Tyler out, saying he’s “not very nice,” to which Tyler quipped, “No I’m not, I’m actually an a**hole.” His comments remind us that Tyler doesn’t hold back, especially when cornered.
This isn’t the first time Tyler’s been vocal. At a Boston performance recently, he called out Taylor Swift fans for rehashing his old lyrics. “I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist a**,” he said, unfazed by the criticism.
Tyler took the moment to reminisce on his career highlights during that show. “The number one album in the world right now, man,” he said. It’s clear he values artistic integrity and humor despite outside perceptions.
Tyler, The Creator’s heated exchanges show he’s not one to shy away from confrontation, whether with paparazzi or fans. His candid remarks offer a peek into his world, one where he values honesty and artistic integrity above all.
