Tyler the Creator is getting into some “Bad Blood” with Taylor Swift‘s fandom.
The 33-year-old rapper recently took aim at Swifties while on stage at a concert in Boston, Mass., where he claimed that fans of the “Anti-Hero” singer have been trying to cancel him over controversial lyrics in some of his older music.
In a video from the live show on Thursday, Oct. 31, Tyler said, “I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist a-s.”
“Bringing up old lyrics, b—h, go listen to ‘Tron Cat,’” he fired back. “I don’t give a f–k hoe. I don’t give a f–k b—h.”
The song Tyler mentioned, “Tron Cat,” released in 2011, is one of the songs that critics have spoken out against in the past, as the lyrics mention a number of questionable lines, including one about sexually assaulting a pregnant woman.
Tyler mentions Swift, 34, by name in a few of his other songs, including another 2011 track titled “Fish,” in which he raps, “Tyler swiftly slips his d–k inside of Taylor Swift’s slit.”
He also raps about the “Karma” songstress in a sexualized manner in his song “Nightmare,” with the line, “My father called to tell me he loved me/I’d have a better chance of gettin’ Taylor Swift to f–k me.”
While it wasn’t clear which song or lyrics Tyler was specifically referring to when calling out Swifties during Thursday’s concert, he made a point to say that the backlash from Swift’s fandom is “gonna bring out the old me.”
After seeing the clip online, many Swifties were once again disturbed by his comments, including many fans who claimed the rapper was “doubling down” on his controversial past instead of apologizing for it.
“The fact that he doesn’t even show remorse is kind of concerning and sickening,” one user wrote after h
“trying to shift the blame toward swifties as if you aren’t the one making rape jokes…weird and odd,” someone else argued.
Another user chimed in, “Saying ‘idgaf’ to lyrics like those is a yikes…”
