Key Takeaways:
- Tyler, the Creator spoke out about his verse on Clipse’s “P.O.V.” amid followers speculating it was geared toward Drake.
- The bar was really directed at an unnamed “previous buddy” he beforehand collaborated with.
- Fan theories now level to Playboi Carti, whose verse was lower from a previous Tyler monitor.
No, Tyler, The Creator was not taking photographs at Drake on Clipse’s new album, Let God Kind Em Out. On Friday (July 11), the “See You Once more” rapper jumped on X to clear up confusion about his visitor verse on the Virginia duo’s “P.O.V.”
“An previous buddy I’ve made music with threatened to sue me over a characteristic they gave me,” Tyler wrote, earlier than leaving a bit of P.S. to followers: “So y’all do not run with a story.” The strains listeners assumed have been aimed on the Canadian rapper have been, “Little characteristic, n**fuel threaten to sue me? / Inform your lawyer to set the charge.”
A lot of the hypothesis, in fact, comes from the timing. Drake is presently suing Common Music Group over the pedophilia accusations that Kendrick Lamar launched at him on final yr’s “Not Like Us.” Plus, Tyler’s verse showing on a Clipse report naturally raised eyebrows, particularly contemplating Pusha T traded photographs with the “Hotline Bling” star in 2018.
Drake and Tyler have by no means musically collaborated, although the self-coined 6 God did make a shock look at Camp Flog Gnaw pageant — solely to be booed off stage — some years in the past. Since Drizzy seemingly wasn’t the Los Angeles native’s goal, followers have since turned their consideration to different potential suspects.
One of many extra convincing theories factors to Playboi Carti. Followers may recall that he initially appeared on the vinyl-exclusive model of Tyler’s “Thought I Was Lifeless” from CHROMAKOPIA. Nonetheless, the MUSIC rapper’s verse by no means made it onto streaming platforms, regardless of their massively profitable collaboration on 2019’s “EARQUAKE.”
Earlier within the week, Pusha T described Tyler because the “No. 1 Clipster.” In an interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden, he shared, “He can inform me issues about albums, and the time durations, and any and all the pieces, from manufacturing to raps, with regards to Clipse albums.”
