A feminist campaigner claims that Tyler dedicated a song to her at his sold-out show at Enmore Theatre in Sydney after she spoke out against him on Twitter.
So Tyler, The Creator Really Was The One Racing In Justin Bieber’s Ferrari
The guy that Keyshawn Johnson should be mad at is in fact not Justin Bieber, but Tyler, The Creator. Go figure (and we posted about this too)….from TMZ:
Tyler, the Creator says Keyshawn Johnson is DEAD WRONG — claiming HE was driving Justin Bieber’s Ferrari during the infamous chase through Calabasas.
Tyler’s message was clearly intended for Johnson — who told TMZ he personally witnessed Justin in the driver’s seat after the car dangerously sped through their gated community. We’re told at least 3 other people also saw Justin behind the wheel.
Either way, the residents of Justin’s neighborhood are PISSED — and are threatening to withhold their HOA dues until the community takes action against Bieber.
Kanye West Wanted To Be On Tyler, The Creator’s Album; Tyler Turned Him Down
Not really that crazy, although I’m sure the opportunity to get Kanye West on your record is damn near mythical at this point. From Complex:
Tyler, the Creator says he was offered an additional feature on his Wolf single “IFHY” from Kanye West.
However, according to his answer via Formspring, he turned down Ye’s offer and just kept the vocals from Pharrell.
Tyler said: “cause it was mine. he wanted to be on IFHY too! but i was like, nah hahaha. ye is soo awesome, i talk to him almost everyday it seems like. its cool to have someone you can level with about art and everything else.”
He also confirmed that he will not be appearing on Kanye’s upcoming album Yeezus.

Al Sharpton & The Family Of Emmett Till Meet With PepsiCo Over Rappers
You know, you can call me insensitive…..but these Black folks are really wasting their time while also giving Al Sharpton that fame he needs to stay relevant.
For whatever reason — because causing these offending rappers to get dropped from their endorsement deals isn’t enough apparently — Emmett Till’s family met with Pepsi, Sharpton in tow, to discuss ways to prevent another issue like Lil’ Wayne’s rap lyric controversy (which had absolutely nothing to do with Pepsi). Also brought up was Tyler, The Creator’s recent goat commercial.
It’s only right for nigger-chasing Al to release a statement on the matter:
“The meeting today with PepsiCo representatives, the family of Emmett Till, and me at corporate headquarters was a positive meeting. PepsiCo apologized to the family again and they accepted while agreeing with me that this is a “teachable moment” and we must work with younger hip-hop artists so they know their civil rights history and become more engaged in the community. National Action Network (NAN) doesn’t want the end result to be the penalization of artists-although they clearly need to be corrected–but rather them becoming more engaged and conscientious of civil rights history. We agreed to work as partners to try and sit down with younger hip-hop artists, corporate executives, and people in the civil rights community.”
Tyler, The Creator In Clash Magazine
Tyler really likes Clash Magazine, and, after letting that be known a few times, he was invited to put some of his input into their upcoming issue. I wish we had more to show you, but aside from that cover in the corner, we’ll all be waiting for the issue to be released sometime at the end of the week. You can check out more of Clash over at their website.
UPDATE: Tyler, The Creator Speaks On Mountain Dew Ad Controversy; Dr. Watkins Responds
UPDATE: Above is a 20-something minute video that Dr. Watkins made explaining his stance (which had changed somewhat, after some thought) on Tyler, The Creater and the Mountain Dew controversy that he created.
Tyler, The Creator has finally spoken on the matter (aside from Twitter) regarding the big controversy that was Felicia The Goat:
I guess people are claiming that it’s racist, which… you know, that wasn’t even portrayed in that commercial, there’s no type of hate being portrayed in that work of art at all — which I’m confused by. But this older black dude, Dr. Boyce Watkins, I guess he found it racist because I was portraying stereotypes, which is ridiculous because, one, all of those dudes [in the line-up] are my friends. Two, they’re all basically in their own clothes. It was originally supposed to be just two dudes, but Garrett from Trash Talk came with his friend and other people had showed up, so I just put all of them in that line-up, if you really wanna know the truth. Three, no [commenters] saw that commercial and said, this is racist. Everyone either said, “Wow, this is ridiculous, it’s a goat talking,” or they said, “Wow, this is the dumbest, why would they even make this?” So for [Watkins] to nitpick and notice that, clearly shows his state of mind is on some other sh– that I can’t comprehend, for him to actually sit there and for him to notice that it’s all blacks [in the lineup]. That wasn’t my intention.
It was crazy. It’s a black guy making this, and if it’s so racist and feeding into stereotypes, why in the first commercial that goes along with it, is there a black male with his Asian wife? In the second commercial, it’s a black male with a professional job as a police officer listening to hardcore rock music — which supposedly the stereotype is that black people don’t listen to that. The stereotypes are what I’m confused on, no one was even thinking about that. I was focused on that first zoom shot over their shoulders. That’s what I was stoked on. You know why? Cause I like film, and I like directing, and that’s where my heart was set. I wasn’t thinking, “Oh, let’s use all black [people]” or whatever. I wanted to use my friends. You know why? ‘Cause I don’t like using other actors. You can look at every one of my videos, and my friends are always in it. Saying that I’m racist — every video I got, Lucas is in it! He’s a little scrawny white kid. So what is this dude talking about?

Tyler, The Creator’s Latest Mountain Dew Commercial Gets Pulled Due To Alleged Racism
Everybody is so sensitive nowadays. Tyler, The Creator’s latest Mountain Dew commercial was shut down due to alleged racism from various groups, mainly led by Dr. Boyce Watkins, who reportedly called the ad “the most racist commercial in history”. Pepsi has also spoken on the matter through AdWeek:
“We understand how this video could be perceived by some as offensive, and we apologize to those who were offended…we have removed the video from all Mountain Dew channels and have been informed that Tyler is removing it from his channels as well.”
The ending seems to be positive, though, as Tyler has already reached out to Dr. Watkins on Twitter:
@fucktyler- let's make it happen.My daughters love your music, so I respect your brilliance and creativity.DM me. We'll talk

Music News
First off, Rob Markman is in way over his head (above)…..and it’s hilarious.
I remember a while ago when Earl Sweatshirt was like a myth set in suspended animation; in the middle of Odd Future’s meteoric rise, Sweatshirt’s mother unceremoniously removed him, not only out of the group, but to a military academy in Samoa. While he’s now back in the mix, Tyler, The Creator spoke on his non-relationship with Earl’s mom….from MTV:
“I don’t know what it is. It can’t be because she thinks he’s drinking or doing drugs or anything because I never had a sip of alcohol in my life and I don’t smoke or do anything so you can’t blame me for that,” Tyler said on Tuesday night when he sat with hip-hop journalist Elliott Wilson and an audience for the first of his #CRWN interviews at New York City’s Highline Ballroom. “For some reason she thinks I’m a bad influence on her kid, but he’s doing pretty good now. I totally do not understand it.”
