Tyler The Creator discussed fans thinking he's "full of himself" at Camp Flog Gnaw.

Tyler The Creator admitted that he is “full of himself," while addressing claims that he has a “huge ego" during his performance at Camp Flog Gnaw, over the weekend. He later shared a clip of the comments on Twitter with the caption: “[that’s] my ted talk.”

On stage, he explained: “I do interviews and stuff and see folks like, ‘Oh, he has such a huge ego, he’s so full of himself.’ Hell fucking right I’m full of myself, n***a, ’cause that’s how I feel about me. I’m full of me because everything I said I wanted to do, I did. And I didn’t let anybody tell me nothing else. And I got a résumé to back it up.” He added: “If you got dreams and y’all feel some type of way about yourself that might exceed how others feel about themselves, fuck ’em and don’t let that shit cloud your brain for real.”
