Tyler The Creator expressed his hatred for Wale in a series of scathing posts on X (formerly Twitter) back in 2011 that have resurfaced on social media. At the time, he labeled Wale a "failure" and explained that he "really hates" him and his music.
"I Still Ain't Sh*t. Could Totally Become A Failure, Or Like Swale Tomorrow. Gotta Stay Focused And Brainwash More People," Tyler wrote in one post. In a follow-up, he added: "But F*ck, I Really Hate WALE, So The Fact That He's Right Before Us On That List Makes Me Really Bitchy And Mad. Like This; MAD."
The resurfacing of the posts comes after Wale seemingly dissed Tyler online on Saturday. "Shoutout to black people who love black people," he wrote on X. That message came after Tyler liked a tweet complaining about his white fans having no interest in learning about black art. In response to him doing so, fans dug up Tyler's edgy posts from the early 2010s, in which he made various racist and anti-black statements.
Tyler liked the post after penning a lengthy tribute to D’Angelo, who passed away earlier in the week. Fans in the comments section of his post were allegedly uninterested in learning more about the legendary singer.
