Published: Feb 28 2025

Tyler, The Creator has already encountered his fair quota of bizarre encounters this year. Initially, he lambasted some fans for peppering him with "oddball questions" whenever they randomly spot him somewhere. Now, he's setting his sights on an anonymous shopkeeper who, without his consent, posted a screenshot from security footage along with a lengthy tirade on his Instagram Story.

"Stopped by a shop with my buddy, and these clowns decided to post some surreptitious CCTV footage for some inexplicable reason," he fumed. "For likes? For clout? Proof that we were there? I have no clue, but what I do know is that these folks are as bizarre as they come. No one's ever slapped them before because decent people understand boundaries. And all my homies are just apologizing, like come on, did nothing in your minds register as weird? These clowns didn't even realize they were being recorded, and then they upload it?"

He continued, "I despise you guys. I'm hesitant to even step into your stores because of crap like this. Public Service Announcement: if you're not weird with people and they feel at ease, they'll keep coming back. Did your parents never teach you to stop or no? And I'll keep voicing my gripes about this nonsense because I'm not one of those passive types. I'll tell you straight up when I don't like something. Be cool, man."

Has anyone failed to catch his song "Noid" or watch the accompanying video? Because Tyler tackled the subject of celebrity in the digital age in it. "No cameras, please, I just want to eat in peace/ I don't want to pose for pictures with you guys or chicks/ My nervous system is jittery long before I hit nineteen," he rapped in the opening verse.
