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 truly directed at an unnamed “old friend” he beforehand collaborated with.
• Fan theories now level to Playboi Carti, whose verse was reduce from a previous Tyler observe.

No, Tyler, The Creator was not taking pictures at Drake on Clipse’s new album, Let God Sort Em Out. On Friday (July 11), the “See You Again” rapper jumped on X to clear up confusion about his visitor verse on the Virginia duo’s “P.O.V.”

“An old friend I’ve made music with threatened to sue me over a feature they gave me,” Tyler wrote, earlier than leaving slightly P.S. to followers: “So y’all don’t run with a narrative.” The strains listeners assumed had been aimed on the Canadian rapper had been, “Little feature, n**gas threaten to sue me? / Tell your lawyer to set the fee.”

Most of the hypothesis, in fact, comes from the timing. Drake is currently suing Universal 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 file naturally raised eyebrows, particularly contemplating Pusha T traded pictures 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 competition — only 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 the extra convincing theories factors to Playboi Carti. Fans may recall that he initially appeared on the vinyl-exclusive model of Tyler’s “Thought I Was Dead” from CHROMAKOPIA. However, 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 tell me things about albums, and the time periods, and any and everything, from production to raps, when it comes to Clipse albums.”
