In a heated interview, Tyler, the Creator has called out Taylor Swift's fanbase, known as "Swifties," accusing them of racism following his recent triumph over a record held by the pop superstar. The rapper's comments come after he surpassed Swift's impressive 698-day streak at the top of the Spotify Top Artist chart.
The 33-year-old artist, who has had a tumultuous relationship with Swift fans in the past, expressed frustration during the conversation, stating, “I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist a**.” His remarks stemmed from backlash he faced after his latest album, Chromakopia, climbed to the top of the UK album chart just four days after its release.
Tyler's comments reflect a deeper commentary on how some fans have resorted to dragging up older lyrics from his past in an attempt to undermine his recent success. In a provocative rebuttal, he added, “Bringing up old lyrics, b****, go listen to Tron Cat. I don't give a f***. They gonna bring out the old me."
The rapper’s relationship with Swift has historically been complex. In his 2011 track Nightmare, he infamously referenced Swift in a line that many found controversial. This latest incident has reignited discussions about artist rivalries and the sometimes toxic dynamics of fan culture.
As Tyler enjoys the success of Chromakopia, which has marked a significant moment in his career, it seems that tensions between fan bases continue to simmer. The reactions from both Swifties and Tyler’s supporters will likely unfold in the coming days, as social media buzzes with opinions on the matter.
