It's common for artists who are good friends to collaborate with one another, but it hasn't been necessary for Tierra Whack and Tyler, The Creator. Whack supported the hitmaker as his opener when his Call Me If You Get Lost Tour made its way to Australia and New Zealand. For years, Whack has been pelted with questions about some secret Tyler collaboration that has yet to surface. However, she told Complex that they don't have hidden music anywhere and debunked claims about a release.
"Me and Tyler don’t have any music. We’re just friends," Whack explained. "We were hanging out during [the Call Me If You Get Lost Tour] and we got to know each other better, and we [still] talk. But yeah, I think with artists sometimes, people just expect, like, 'Oh, they both make music, so they should just go make music [together.]' But sometimes, we just want to be friends with people without asking anything of them but just simply be my friend."
Tierra Whack Shares Tyler's Advice
"Tyler gives great advice. He’s a busy, busy man—I’m just grateful I’m his friend," Whack continued. Then, she named lil Yachty as "one of my best friends." She added, "He put all of us together on his [Lil Boat 3] project for the song 'T.D' So that was a huge blessing—me, Tyler, Yachty, and ASAP Rocky." Regarding Tyler's guidance, Whack revealed one piece of advice he gave her. It was about a distinctive characteristic that Whack thought about changing.
"You know Tyler is random. He’ll just be like, 'Yo, don’t ever mess with your gap,'" she said. "I’ve thought about it in the past like, 'Maybe I should get braces,' but he has a gap, too. So he’s like, 'We gotta represent.' I love that though, because it’s like, 'You know what? Tyler said no, so I’m not gonna do it.'"
Tierra Whack Teases New Project & What Fans Can Expect
Meanwhile, we haven't received music from Whack since she shared her trifecta of EPs in 2021: Rap?, Pop?, and R&B? She's buckled down and has been recording for her next project, and Whack gave insight as to the sound. "A little bit of everything: Pop, a little bit of Rock. We came out with Whack World to show you guys that I can do a little bit of everything," she revealed. "I’m just trying to touch on every genre that I kind of already did. But it’s like the same thing, which is a lot, but it’s still coming back to me. With Whack World, we laid out the outline just to [show] people like, 'Hey, we can do it all.'"
