Tyler's Fiery Bars: Lawsuit Lyric Sparks Drake & Ye Rumors Amid Sold-Out Tour

Tyler the Creator BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Tyler the Creator has been everywhere in the past few days, causing a stir both on and off stage. Boston’s TD Garden was electric when Tyler brought his Chromakopia Tour there for back-to-back sold-out shows on July 8 and 9, drawing rave reviews for both his performance and the high-energy crowds according to Here Boston. Just last night, he took the stage in Baltimore at CFG Bank Arena, continuing a North American tour that has cemented his status as one of hip-hop’s most dynamic live acts, with upcoming tour stops in Charlotte and Raleigh as reported by CLTure and Ticketmaster. The buzz isn’t just about the concerts—his net worth has been estimated to hit 25 million dollars this year, boosted by the ongoing tour, apparel ventures, and relentless creative output, says I Like To Dabble.

But the loudest headlines have come from the release of Clipse’s long-awaited new album Let God Sort Em Out, which features Tyler on the track P.O.V.—and sparked major controversy. When Tyler dropped the lyric “Little feature, n***as threaten to sue me? Tell your lawyer to set the fee,” fans and social media quickly speculated it was a diss aimed at either Drake or Kanye, especially with the backdrop of Drake’s public lawsuit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s diss track Not Like Us. According to Rap-Up, HotNewHipHop, and According2HipHop, Tyler immediately jumped on X to clarify that the line was not a shot at either Drake or Kanye, but instead was referencing a legal threat from an unnamed old friend he had previously collaborated with. Fan theories have now focused on Playboi Carti, who had a verse cut from Tyler’s track Thought I Was Dead on Chromakopia—though this remains unconfirmed speculation.

Tyler also continues to make waves on fashion and cultural fronts, maintaining his creative alliance with Pharrell Williams, and his influence in both music and style is repeatedly acknowledged by peers—Pusha T recently called him the “No. 1 Clipster” in an interview with Apple Music. On the business side, ticket sales are booming across the tour, and with Chromakopia’s release last fall still shaping the summer soundtrack, Tyler’s momentum is only growing.

On social media, Tyler’s presence remains strong, and while the lawsuit lyric drama dominated timelines this week, he’s managed to flip the narrative, taking ownership of his story and redirecting speculation with trademark wit. For now, the only thing hotter than Tyler’s new bars is the feverish demand for his live shows—and if the past week is any sign, Tyler the Creator is not slowing down anytime soon.
