The Grammy winner has since deleted most of the offending tweets - though screenshots have been preserved by others on social media. “I was a teener, tweetin’ Selena crazy sh*t / Didn’t wanna offend her, apologize when I seen her / Back when I was tryna f*ck Bieber, Just-in.”Īs Tyler mentioned, Gomez, who was about 18 at the time, had been dating his close friend Justin Bieber when he sent the tweets in question. “I was canceled before canceled was with Twitter fingers / Protestin’ outside my shows, I gave them the middle finger,” he raps on the song that also features former Odd Future collaborator Domo Genesis. What made headlines, though, is the part where he opens up about apologizing to Selena Gomez for sexually explicit tweets he wrote about her in 20. On the track, the rapper addresses everything from the pressures he feels as a Black man in the public eye to past controversies that the internet has tried to cancel him for.
When I showed it to him, man! He looked at me like, 'Yo, you mothafucka! You got my face on a girl head! They gon’ be on my ass, that shit really look like it’s a female on me!" And I was just like, 'Yeah, that’s what you said, right?' Sometimes that crazy stuff that y’all be seeing don’t really come down to him, sometimes it’ll be me.His new album, Call Me if You Get Lost, just dropped on June 25, but Tyler, the Creator’s “Manifesto” lyrics have already gone viral. I was like, 'Dang, I dunno if we’ll be able to do it.' So I had just filmed a quick shot in the house and had him sit in the same spot and then act like lifting back up. I thought I had to go to a green screen place, but then when we went on tour I wasn’t able to get the shot.
"The other hardest one was the one was when I put his face on the girl. I was like, 'Yeah, we gonna have you in the bathroom with yourself.' And I’m sitting back like, “Damn, I do not know how to do this." I sat there for two days in a hot-ass studio, AC broke, and edited that and finally got it.
I’ll say stuff that I could do that I know damn well I can’t do-I’m not allowed to be doin’ that.
