In a surprising turn of events, rumors have emerged suggesting that Playboi Carti has issued a cease and desist to Tyler, The Creator concerning a verse on the new Clipse album, CHROMAKOPIA. While Tyler recently mentioned in his lyrics that another artist threatened to sue him over a feature, he did not name Carti directly, leading to speculation about the identity of the artist in question.
According to reports from No NDA Network on Twitter, which should be taken with caution as they lack official confirmation from either artist’s camps, the alleged cease and desist revolves around Carti’s verse on the track “Thought I Was Dead,” featuring ScHoolboy Q. This specific verse was included only on the first pressing of the vinyl version of CHROMAKOPIA and did not appear on the streaming versions of the album.
Despite the rumors, it’s noteworthy that Carti and Tyler have maintained a solid relationship in the past, collaborating on tracks like “Telephone Calls” from the first A$AP Mob Cozy Tapes and “EARFQUAKE” from Tyler’s 2019 album IGOR. The two artists have shown mutual respect on social media, making the news of a potential rift all the more surprising to their fanbases.
The situation has raised eyebrows particularly after Carti performed at Tyler’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival shortly after the album’s release, suggesting that the rumored issues may not hold substantial weight. Nevertheless, fans are left wondering about the nature of their relationship and whether this situation signifies a shift in their artistic collaboration.
As both artists continue to work on their respective projects—Carti with his upcoming album BABY BOI and Tyler touring CHROMAKOPIA—the hip-hop community watches closely for any further developments or clarifications regarding this rumored conflict. Many hope that this is merely a misunderstanding and that the creative bond between Carti and Tyler remains intact.
