A$AP Rocky has jokingly referred to longtime friend and collaborator, Tyler, The Creator, as his “annoying little brother”.
Speaking to Variety, Rocky said of his “Potato Salad” collaborator while laughing: “You know Tyler a piece of shit. He play too fucking much. You couldn’t wait for me to tell you how much a piece of shit he is. He like an annoying little brother or some shit like that.”
He added: “I love that dude. That’s my brother right there, man.”
Tyler recently admitted that he almost fainted while awaiting the verdict in Rocky’s shooting trial earlier this year.

In his initial reaction, Tyler welcomed the not guilty verdict by posting a picture on his Instagram Stories of Pretty Flacko hugging his lawyer, Joe Tacopina.

The next night, he spoke about the moment to the crowd at his Chromakopia World Tour stop in Los Angeles.
“I almost passed out when they read the verdict,” he said. “My brother Rocky is not guilty! That’s a testament to watch who y’all keep around you because n-ggas be jealous, bum ass, loser ass, bitch ass n-ggas ready to take you down. I’m so grateful for my muthafuckin brothers. I done had the same friends for almost 20 years. I love y’all n-ggas so damn much”
He concluded: “Shout out Rocky. I love you n-gga. My n-gga free. Yessir!”
It has previously been rumored that the two contemporaries would link up for a collaborative project tentatively titled WANG$AP.

However, Tyler shut down the idea after Rocky let it slip during an interview with Angie Martinez.
“i wish rocky would shut the fuck up and stop always saying what he’s working on 40 years before its even a fleshed out idea,” the Odd Future founder wrote on Twitter. “with that said, again, dont get your hopes up and be ‘disappointed’ because something that doesnt really exist didnt come out. that shit dont exist yall =).”
Rocky would later confirm that they wouldn’t be doing the album, saying in Tyler’s voice: “I wanted to do an album with Tyler, but he said ‘we’re not doing a fuckin’ album. Don’t ask again.'”
