Tyler, The Creator has taken aim at viral white rapper Ian and accused him of “mocking” Hip Hop.
Speaking to Maverick Carter on his SpringHill platform, the Odd Future founder aired out his issues with an unnamed “white kid” while heavily alluding to the controversial rapper.
“There’s this kid right now, this white kid, regular Caucasian man, and he’s like mocking Future and Gucci Mane, like rap music. And people are like, ‘This shit hard!'” Tyler said.
“It’s not even like satire, it’s like, ‘I’m just joking, I’m just mocking it.’ But I’m like, ‘No, no, no, you can’t do [that].’ And I hold rap music so close to my heart ’cause this shit changed my life and everyone’s life around me, and I’m a nerd about this shit.”
Tyler continued: “This is like weird and I’m looking at it and something about it don’t even sit well with me, in comparison to someone like a Mac Miller or Eminem who didn’t seem like they were mocking it; they had a genuine love for it.”

While he didn’t mention Ian by name, most people assumed that Tyler, The Creator was referring to the viral rapper who dresses like a preppy college student but raps in a similar vein to the Southern trap stars named by Tyler.
Bu Thiam, Executive Vice President at Columbia Records and the brother of Akon, also thought Tyler was speaking about his artist and hit back online.
He wrote on his Instagram Stories: “Yo @feliciathegoat, i signed lan & im from Atlanta. He sounds nothing like Gucci or future lol. It’s called influence. But i never thought I’d see the day where you become old & hate on the youth lol.”
Lil Yachty was recently criticized for working with Ian after the two were spotted in the studio together.
The link-up didn’t sit well with fans, with some accusing Yachty of being a hypocrite given his previous comments about Hip Hop’s perceived lack of creativity and originality.
“Nvm I don’t rly fw him no more. This n-gga said Hip Hop is in a terrible state and then went to do a song with a fucking colonizer [three crying emojis] we’re cooked,” one user wrote.
Another critic said: “lmfaoo yall ain’t got no dignity man it’s so sad to see.”
Yachty and Ian’s studio session was evidently productive as they released the aptly titled “Hate Me” in July.
The song made headlines of its own thanks to Lil Boat boldly rapping: “Know I’m richer than your favorite rapper / If I’m not, then, God, kill my momma.”
Akon the African is a culture vulture too.
F*** off. Quit trying to create a divide and go back to listening to Taylor Swift you bird.
@SMH A hit dog hollers, I see.
If a black kid did the exact same thing, nobody would care. So I guess attacking him solely because of the color of his skin is racist, right ? Welcome to the world of what equality looks like people.. Start getting used to it.
This white boy is in his feelings but calls himself OG
Lies because when Beyoncé dropped her country album, every person talked about that.
@Lol Actually if anyone is in his feelings it is Tyler. And btw i’m not white.
Lol WTF, I THOUGHT TYLER WAS A MOCKERY HIMSELF. I’M CONFUSED NOW. SOOOOOO TYLER IS A JOKE HE’S PLAYING ON US??
Isn’t * a joke
Tyler but you were eating cockroaches, saying you were gay and rapping about bum sex. Make it make sense dude.
Y’all act like men haven’t been fucking other men in the ass for centuries or something… before people became civilized everybody was fucking everybody and everything. I fucked a ham once.
So when he wrote my bitch suck dick like she suck dick he was being serious 🧐
Tyler isn’t lying but he’s speaking truth. Bu is a slave negro that’s why he’s in that position he’s in. Yatchy and Ian both suck as rappers and they’re lowering the bar of rap so everybody can join in and cosplay to black culture. Ppl died over this thing we call hip hop & now since kids of every culture are born into rap they would like to join in but have no idea of what the music and culture are really about. There was once a message in the music now it’s a complete joke. First they pay black clowns to join and rap and the industry makes them rich and others follow chasing the bag . Then whites like MGK, then K Pop now TikTok rappers are in the game. Do you buy Chinese food from a black, white, middle eastern or a mexican? I hope not because it will suck.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ppl are way too fragile. “A kid a mocking other people!”. Meanwhile tupac to biggie “that’s why I fucked yo bitch you fat mofo” lol.
Modern “hiphop” SHOULD be mocked though.
I don’t actually like hip-hop, I just visit this site to engage in culture war nonsense, and to make sure the comment section always includes at least a few utterances of WOKE and VIRTUE SIGNALLING, because I am not a NPC like my daddy Tim Pool tells me.
being gay and talking about rayype is more so mocking and caucasians dont live in the usa they live in the caucuses.
