The Most Controversial Tyler, The Creator Moments

Publish date: 2024-05-08

In June 2013, Tyler, the Creator played the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, Australia. According to Gigwise, blogger and member of the feminist group, Collective Shout, Talitha Stone attended the show, not because she wanted to hear cuts off of the musician's latest album, "Wolf," but in opposition to Tyler, the Creator and to take a stand against his potentially destructive lyrical content. The previous day, Stone tweeted out her plans "to protest against" the rapper during his appearance at streetwear store Culture Kings. "He will be there at midday. I think they need education on #misogyny," she wrote.

During the show, which she reportedly attended to find additional "evidence" of Tyler, the Creator's anti-women lyrics, the musician verbally and profanely attacked her from the stage. "F**king b**ch, I wish she could hear me call her a b**ch, too, f**king w**re," were among his reported choice words. "Yeah, I got a sold-out show right now, b**ch. Hey, this f**king song is dedicated to you, you f**king c**t."

It's not clear if Tyler, the Creator knew that his critic was in attendance, but Stone found the incident "terrifying and disturbing," so much so that she reported the verbal abuse to Sydney police, according to The Guardian.
