Yelling at Tyler, the Creator Is Not Going to Make Him Perform This Song

“I’m not gonna play it,” the artist told a fan pestering him to change the Chromakopia world tour set list

In a post to Tyler and others, one fan admitted that they were trying to coerce him into playing “Deathcamp” and other songs from his 2015 album Cherry Bomb. “I started that Cherry Bomb chant on Saturday and I will start it again tonight,” the fan wrote after the rapper’s show at Orlando’s Kia Center on March 22. “I need to hear DEATHCAMP live,” the fan wrote.

Tyler, the Creator, no stranger to popping off on the internet, responded. “Chant all you want (I hope you don’t, it’s mad annoying during the show) I’m not gonna play it, chanting doesn’t make me magically wanna play it,” he replied. Fair.

Some fans online backed him up, while others decided to pressure him some more. “Folks paying to come to your show, why not add a song they wanna hear…everything you have is because fans spend hard earned money to see you in wigs,” said one X user. 

If you still want to see Tyler, the Creator live, the Chromakopia world tour will continue in the U.S., Canada, and Europe through July and before hitting Australia, New Zealand, and Asia through the fall. He’s also set to headline Lollapalooza, Hinterland Music Festival, Governors Ball, and Bonnaroo.
