There’s nothing mysterious about it.
I tried to tell y’all DJ Khaled felt a type of way about losing to Tyler when he posted then deleted this on IG ? pic.twitter.com/MNTjqSuoMt

Upon hearing the unusually disdainful Khaled’s teardown, many were quick to assume his “mysterious” words were directed at IGOR, which still feels like a “niche” project despite the widespread appeal. Consider Tyler’s method of arranging his high-profile guest appearances, which include Kanye West, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Solange, and Pharrell Williams; rather than marketing them with the ferocity of ten thousand thousand bulls, Tyler slides them in strategically, allowing their strengths to to shine from the shadows. Not to mention, Tyler’s ear for mixing can be described as polished lo-fi, which may align with some of Khaled’s complaints about “hearing” the music.
Of course, Khaled has already put in work to squash the narrative, claiming his beef is with Billboard, and not Tyler. Yet his words, and the way fans have chosen to interpret them, speak otherwise. A perusal of Twitter finds Khaled on the receiving end of a few roasting sessions, with one user in particular indicating that Tyler actually “liked” the initial post on Khaled’s rant. Now, it may be unfair to pit two artists against one another, but it seems as if there is indeed some animosity on Khaled’s end. That’s not to say his issue with Tyler or his music extends beyond bruised ego, but given Khaled’s off-brand response, perhaps there’s more to the story than meets the eye.
Either way, congratulations to Tyler, The Creator, who scored a number one album without the foresight of including a Protein shake bundle. Are you still feeling IGOR?

Lmaoooooo this cornball. IGOR is fucking immaculate. Tyler deserves all the praise. Especially for his growth as an artist. No ones checking for a DJ Khaled album in 2019 cause it’s the same as every other Khaled album I’ve ever heard. https://t.co/P4qBCEgeRe
