“Swifties are mad at me for their bullshit racism. Digging up old lyrics, bi**h, go listen to ‘Tron Cat’ – I don’t give a f**k. What the f**k, bitch!”, he declared . “They bring out the old me.”
In “Tron Cat“, published in 2011 on the album “Goblins”, Tyler turns to her saying “I don’t give a fuck.”. On the same album, he names the “Reputation” artist in “Fish/Boppin‘ Bi**h“, writing “Bi**hes running ’round down, pu**y take a trip/ Make her undress, my dick is harder than the zipper./ Tyler Swift sticks his cock in Taylor Swift’s slit“.
Also in “Goblins” quotes the pop star with sexist references: “Love? I don’t get any, that’s why I’m so hostile to guys who get it/ My dad called me to tell me he loved me/ I’d have a better chance of getting fucked by Taylor Swift,” says the lyrics of “Nightmare“.
According to the Complex website, the recent fury against the rapper by the world pop star’s fans derives from the success of his latest album. The online publication noted that Swifties objected to Tyler, The Creator reaching No. 1 on the global Spotify Top Artist chart this week following the release of “Chromakopia,” ending his 698-day streak. Taylor Swift’s tenure in that position.

The two works went to no. 1, selling 169,000 and 165,000 units respectively.
“The album turned into sort of an acknowledgment of a bunch of bullshit that my mother told me when I was a kid. Now that I’m 33, all that stuff is like, ‘Oh, that’s what the fuck she was talking about! Oh , I’m not the boy I was at 20! Oh shit!”. He said referring to the new album. “People are getting older. People have children and families. I only have a new Ferrari and after a while it seems strange to me. I’m gaining weight. I have a gray hair on my chest” concluded the Los Angeles rapper.
