Tyler, the Creator labeled Taylor Swift fans “racist” after they called him out for controversial lyrics about their beloved pop superstar in his older tracks.
“I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist ass — bringing up old lyrics,” the rapper, 33, said while performing at a concert in Boston Thursday night.
“Bitch, go listen to ‘Tron Cat,’ I don’t give a f–k hoe. What the f–k, bitch? They gonna bring out the old me.”
“Tron Cat” is a track from Tyler’s 2011 album, “Goblin,” in which he bragged about having forceful sex with women.
“I f–k bitches with no permission and tend to hate shit,” he rapped on the record.
The “Goblin” album in general, however, references Swift in demeaning ways a handful of times.
The lyrics for “Fish” read, “Tyler swiftly slips his d–k inside of Taylor Swift’s slit / Round trip in that p—y, here comes the ticket.”
Plus, in the song “Nightmare,” he raps, “My father called me to tell me he loved me/ I’d have a better chance of gettin’ Taylor Swift to fuck me.”
Swifties seemingly began calling out Tyler over his problematic lyrics as he and Swift, 34, battled it out for the top spot on the Global Spotify Top Artists chart.
The hip-hop artist became No. 1 on the chart after dropping his eighth album, “Chromakopia,” dethroning the “Shake It Off” singer, who had reportedly spent 699 days as the top artist.
One Swiftie previously wrote via X that it was time to have the “uncomfortable” conversation that “100% of Tyler’s success is because of misogyny and that he used jokes about rape and assault to get famous.”
Another Swift fan added, “taylor writes music about her feelings and gets called boring, and tyler gets to write about r@ping women and calling people the d slur but its okay because hes a black man???”
After Tyler’s remark at his concert, the “You Belong With Me” singer’s fans continued slamming the rapper further, with one labeling his lack of remorse “concerning and sickening.”
“How is someone criticizing and pointing out his own rac!st and misogynistic lyrics being rac!st?? Make it make sense,” another argued.
A third upset fan said Tyler is a “disgusting creature,” while another labeled him as a “disgusting creep.”
