Tyler The Creator Calls Out “Racist” Taylor Swift Fans While Responding To Hate For Old Lyrics

by

Tyler The Creator is riding the CHROMAKOPIA high right now, even if it comes at the expense of some pretty shocked casual listeners. With every new album cycle, a fresh set of folks new to T discover his controversial old lyrics, something he’s talked about and reckoned with a lot in more recent material. So much so, in fact, that he specifically called out Taylor Swift fans for their context-lacking criticism. “I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist a**,” the Hawthorne native joked during a short show in Boston yesterday (Thursday, October 31). “Bringing up old lyrics. B***h, go listen to ‘Tron Cat,’ I don’t give a f**k, h*e. The f**k, b***h? They gon’ bring out the old me.”

For those unaware, this probably came up because Tyler, The Creator overtook Taylor Swift’s No. 1 position on Spotify’s global Top Artists chart. It’s more of a battle between fanbases rather than between the artists, as Tyler was probably just generalizing a much larger group than Swifties here rather than calling out the superstar singer herself directly. Nevertheless, the commercial and critical success of CHROMAKOPIA made a heavy mark, although it’s sad to see it result in fans bickering over their preference. More importantly, it minimizes actual dialogue and conversation about these lyrics, which have understandable and legitimate arguments on both sides.

Tyler The Creator Responds To Backlash Over Old Lyrics

But we know well that Tyler, The Creator would much rather talk about the quality of his music than these narratives. “At 1:54 of ST CHROMA, that siren and low end together feels like a blast wave after an explosion,” he recently tweeted about his favorite CHROMAKOPIA moments. “The ’20 thousand on me…’ part of RAH TAH TAH, the delivery is from a d*mb joke of mine but i couldnt get it outta my head, why not record it.”

With all this in mind, it will be interesting to see whether or not Tyler, The Creator or Taylor Swift actually speak on this in any direct way. They could either fuel their fanbases to be even more insufferably combative or show them the light. It’s a big responsibility to carry, but such is the state of Internet Stan culture these days.

Elliott Wilson Reveals Drake & Future Have Officially Settled Their Differences

by

Last month, Young Thug’s official X account shared an interesting message, prompting big reactions among fans. “.@Drake @1future @MetroBoomin we all bruddas. Music aint the same without us collabin,” the post read. Within hours, Future appeared to co-sign the message by retweeting it, leaving social media users in shambles.

Of course, Drake’s been at the center of plenty of beef in recent months, which was ignited by Future and Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You collab with Kendrick Lamar, “Like That.” Future’s retweet was the first glimmer of hope fans saw that he and Drake could actually potentially reconcile. This sparked a debate about whether or not they should, and most agreed that they’d love to hear them team up again.

Elliott Wilson Discusses Drake & Future’s Reconciliation

Fortunately, it looks like that may not be off the table. During a recent episode of The Bigger Picture, Elliott Wilson revealed that Drake and Future have finally been able to work out their differences over the phone. “I have it on good authority that Drake and Future have at least gotten on the phone and resolved their differences,” he stated. Wilson also suggested that the reconciliation could have something to do with Young Thug’s aforementioned Tweet and that Drake has yet to make amends with Metro Boomin.

“I think that helped the energy when Future reposted [Young Thug’s Tweet],” he explained. “There’s no trust there still with Metro, but I do believe that Drake and Future are back on the same page.” Wilson went on to note that the reconciliation doesn’t come as too much of a surprise considering the rappers’ history. “Obviously we know that Drake and Future have so much history. Drake was the one saying, ‘We never really went through it.’ [Future] got the lightest of all the taps in the one v. 20, so it makes sense in some capacity,” he concluded. What do you think of Elliott Wilson claiming that Drake and Future have settled their differences? Do you hope this means they’ll work together sometime soon?

“I really thought that once he got sentenced and once he went off to jail, I was going be a new woman and I thought I was going to be great and I could just go be the Megan Thee Stallion I always wanted to be. No. I still, every day, have to deal with people mad at me because I said what happened to me,” she explained. “I do feel like I’m getting in a place where I really don’t care.

Bianca Censori Flaunts Her Figure In Skin-Tight Outfit In Japan With Kanye West

by

Bianca Censori frequently makes headlines for her head-turning fashion statements, and her latest Halloween look was no exception. Yesterday (October 31), the Australian architect and model popped out to a club in Harajuku, Japan. She was accompanied by her husband, Kanye West, and appeared to be in good spirits.

Censori stunned in a baby blue turtleneck, nude shorts, and a simple pair of heels. For those wondering why she wasn’t in costume, it appears as though she and Ye celebrated Halloween earlier this week. She channeled Marilyn Monroe for an outing in Tokyo, rocking short blonde hair and an unforgettable white fur jacket.

As for Censori’s other recent looks, she was also spotted yesterday in a far skimpier fit at a Maison Margiela party. She left little to the imagination with a pair of lace pasties. It remains unclear whether this was supposed to be a costume or simply another one of her daring looks. Coincidentally enough, those photos surfaced just shortly after reports that she and Ye had allegedly been doing therapy sessions together in the nude.

“People assume that it’s just Bianca who walks around without any clothes on, but behind closed doors, Ye is really embracing his own fetish for being in the buff,” a source alleged during a chat with In Touch. “Kanye loves being naked, he has this huge exhibitionist side — it’s actually a shock to a lot of people in his world that he covers up so much when he’s out in public because the rest of the time he hardly wears clothes.” What do you think of Bianca Censori’s latest Halloween look?

Lil Uzi Vert Barraged With Fans’ Disappointment As “Eternal Atake 2” Reactions Roll In

by

Lil Uzi Vert finally dropped Eternal Atake 2 after months of teasing a follow-up to 2023’s Pink Tape, and fans were very excited to dive in. However, as you might have seen already on social media, a lot of die-hards and casual listeners alike weren’t feeling their style and approach this time around, leading to many disappointed reactions on the Internet. Of course, this is nothing new for the Philly rap star, as plenty of their projects in the past did not garner the warmest reception on impact. Perhaps this was just a bad day for fans after Halloween celebrations, but either way, it’s a divisive reception to say the least.

Plenty of fans still enjoyed Eternal Atake 2, but sometimes the most controversial opinion is the loudest. We’ll let you make your own assessment of this reception. Nevertheless, this album saw Lil Uzi Vert address some other controversies of theirs as of late, including fan concern over their alleged use of nitrous gas. “They said I was lost, they thought I was a dead guy, I was on the NOS,” they rap on the opening track “We Good.”

In addition, the release of Eternal Atake 2 brought about a controversy with the surviving members of the religious group Heaven’s Gate. They claim that Lil Uzi Vert’s album art is very similar to their logo, and threatened legal action in a new Complex interview. “Stay away from our Intellectual Property,” they stated in that conversation. “Give the Group some respect. Don’t try to offer to buy us off, like last time. We do not want your money, no matter how much it is.”

Fans React

Meanwhile, other Lil Uzi Vert naysayers were skeptical from the jump, including some comments from Ebro that let to a bit of a social media tussle.

Young Thug’s Lawyer Brian Steel Reacts To Trial Outcome

by

The most talked about story in hip-hop this week is Young Thug’s release from prison. On Halloween, Thug took a blind plea deal. Judge Paige Reese Whitaker sentenced him to 15 years of probation and ordered him to pay thousands of dollars in fines. Additionally, Whitaker banned him from entering the metro Atlanta area for the first 10 years of his probation. He can visit in special cases, though he must leave the area within two days. Fans are thrilled with the verdict. For them, it means that a hip-hop favorite gets to come home and resume a wildly successful and influential music career. However, Young Thug’s lawyer, Brian Steel, is not as ecstatic. When asked about how Thug feels following his release, Steel alluded to his personal unhappiness with the outcome. However, he emphasized that Thug is happy to be coming home.

“As far as Jeffery is feeling now, he knows my feelings, which I am not going to reveal for attorney-client privilege. But, this is not the same as a not guilty verdict,” Steel said outside of the courthouse. He went into details about the way Thug was treated while in custod. He specifically pointed to the poor conditions of his cell. “Nobody here wakes up every day on a concrete floor that they’re calling his bed, at 4:15. He gets shackled at his feet, his waist, and his hands, comes to the Fulton County courthouse to be on concrete, eating out of a bag, and then coming to the courthouse to sit there with a leg chain every single day, and hear lie after lie. So for Jeffery to go home today, and not have another 90 days, 120 days of it [the trial], he is very happy.”

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Brian Steel has become a minor hero in the eyes of Young Thug fans. Georgia has famously difficult RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) laws to navigate. They have been used in other high-profile cases. Notably, the state of Georgia’s case against former president Donald Trump concerning his plot to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Steel did not his client get a definitive “not guilty” verdict. But, his work ensured that Thug would not have to spend another day in prison. Thug spent over 900 days in custody after his arrest in May 2022.

Thug can now return to making music without many complications. Judge Whitaker ordered that he stay away from other YSL members and co-defendants at the trial. However, Thug specifically requested permission to continue working with Gunna, who Thug signed to his record label in 2017. The judge acquiesed. Additionally, he can travel for music-related reasons. Fans won’t have to worry about Thug being unable to tour or collaborate with artists. All of that would not be possible without the legal guidance of Steel, a man who Thug owes a debt of gratitude.
