After Tyler the Creator's prolific output in recent years, fans might not get a chance to hear from the rapper for a long time.

Tyler the Creator says that he's considering taking a "very long break," after he finishes performing on his Chromakopia World Tour. He made the announcement while on stage in the Philippines for the final concert over the weekend.

"I'm excited to go home and think about if I'll ever really tour again... I can't lie to y'all, I'm at that part of my life where, man, I've done enough," he said. "Let me go take a very, very, very long break... Y'all treated me very well, y'all treated Paris Texas very well. So, thank y'all."

Despite the comments, they follow Tyler's recent announcement of additional concerts. Earlier this month, he confirmed he'll be performing in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, and Puerto Rico in March 2026.

Tyler The Creator Albums

The announcement of a "long break" comes as Tyler, the Creator has had a prolific output in recent years. In 2024, he put out his eighth studio album, Chromakopia. That effort featured collaborations with Daniel Caesar, Doechii, GloRilla, LaToiya Williams, Lil Wayne, Lola Young, Santigold, Schoolboy Q, Sexyy Red, and Teezo Touchdown. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

While touring promotion of that project, Tyler surprised fans with Don't Tap the Glass in July 2025. On his ninth studio album, he aimed to get his fans out on the dance floor. "I asked some friends why they don't dance in public and some said because of the fear of being filmed," Tyler said in a statement while putting out Don't Tap the Glass. "I thought damn, a natural form of expression and a certain connection they have with music is now a ghost. It made me wonder how much of our human spirit got killed because of the fear of being a meme, all for having a good time… This album was not made for sitting still. Dancing driving running any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it. Only at full volume."
