During his performance at the iconic Lollapalooza music festival, A$AP Rocky humorously poked fun at his longtime friend, Tyler, The Creator, referring to him as a “bitch.” This playful jab was delivered with laughter, showcasing their close friendship. Rocky entertained the crowd by saying, “Shout out to my brother Tyler, he still a bitch. He was on here the other day. Fuck you Tyler.”
In a recent conversation, Rocky described the Odd Future founder as his “annoying little brother,” highlighting the camaraderie and playful rivalry between them. While chatting with Variety, he elaborated on his feelings towards Tyler, saying: “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.”
“Shoutout to my brother Tyler. He still a b*tch, you know. He was on here the other day. F*ck you, Tyler.”

Rocky affectionately remarked, “I love that dude. That’s my brother right there, man.” This sentiment reflects the deep bond the two artists share, despite the playful jabs they frequently exchange.
In a recent turn of events, Tyler revealed that he nearly fainted while waiting for the verdict in Rocky’s shooting trial earlier this year. His immediate reaction to the verdict was one of relief and joy. He celebrated the not guilty verdict by sharing a picture on his Instagram Stories showing Pretty Flacko embracing his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, a moment that encapsulated the support and loyalty between friends.
The following evening, during his Chromakopia World Tour stop in Los Angeles, Tyler recounted his emotional response to the crowd, stating, “I almost passed out when they read the verdict. 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 his heartfelt speech with a shout-out to Rocky: “Shout out Rocky. I love you n-gga. My n-gga free. Yessir!” This moment underscored the importance of friendship and loyalty among artists in the industry.
There have been rumors circulating about a potential collaboration between the two, tentatively named WANG$AP. However, Tyler recently dismissed the idea after Rocky mentioned it during an interview with Angie Martinez. Tyler expressed his frustration on Twitter, saying, “I wish Rocky would shut the fuck up and stop always saying what he’s working on 40 years before it’s even a fleshed-out idea. With that said, again, don’t get your hopes up and be ‘disappointed’ because something that doesn’t really exist didn’t come out. That shit don’t exist y’all =).”
In a light-hearted response, Rocky later confirmed that the collaborative album wouldn’t be happening, humorously quoting Tyler: “I wanted to do an album with Tyler, but he said ‘we’re not doing a fuckin’ album. Don’t ask again.’” This exchange highlights their playful banter and the dynamic of their relationship.
