Tyler, The Creator has lashed out at Taylor Swift’s fans after they turned on him over his success.
The 33-year-old chart sensation broke Cruel Summer singer Swift’s record 698-day undisrupted run at the top of the Spotify Top Artist chart.
Swift’s fans, however, began dragging up Tyler’s past lyrics in an attempt to shame him for his success, but he has branded the move by his fellow musician’s fans “racist”.
Hitting out during a concert in Boston on Halloween night, the star said, as per Billboard, “I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist a*s.
“Bringing up old lyrics, b**ch, go listen to Tron Cat. I don’t give a f**k hoe. I don’t give a f**k b**ch. They gonna bring out the old me.”
The musician has referenced Swift in various tracks in the past, including his 2011 song Nightmare, in which he sings, “My father called me to tell me he loved me/ I’d have a better chance of gettin’ Taylor Swift to f**k me.”
On Friday, Tyler’s latest album, titled Chromakopia, topped the UK album chart – four days after being released.
Defending his decision to unleash his record in the middle of the music release week, he told the Nardwuar vs. YouTube show, “I think if you put it out during the week, man, that commute to work, or that commute to school… you really have that hour, 30 minutes to really dive in and really listen.”
