Tyler, The Creator calls Taylor Swift fandom “racist”

Tyler, The Creator has responded to comments from Swifties outraged by some lyrics in his early songs, especially ‘Tron Cat’ or ‘Fish’. During a special half-hour show celebrating the release of ‘CHROMAKOPIA’, Tyler exploded: “I’ve got the Swifties mad at me, racist asses.”

Today, Tyler is capable of making the most beautiful love songs ever. When it started, not so much. Therefore, when he briefly managed to surpass Taylor Swift in the Top Global Artists on Spotify, many people in the singer’s fandom tried to cancel the rapper for his old lyrics. Many of these, with great homophobic, racist or sexist content.

«Pulling out old lyrics, bitch, go listen to ‘Tron Cat’. I don’t give a shit. “They’re going to make me bring out my old self,” Tyler declared while standing on a green container. This specific song contains some more than questionable phrases, belonging to the rapper’s first album, largely based on shock and lyrical brutality.

Some of these are “This is the kind of shit that makes a Chris Brown want to hit a whore” or “I want to be the reason all lesbians hate cock.” Tyler has also mentioned Taylor in some of his songs. In ‘Nightmare’, also from ‘Goblin’, the Californian rapper blurts out: “My father called me to tell me he loved me / I have a better chance of making Taylor Swift fuck me.”
