He’s done. He’s tired. He wants your mic GONE.
Okay everybody take your podcast mic, wrap it in a Trader Joe’s tote, and YEET it into the sun because Tyler, the Creator has officially had it with everyone and their crusty little podcast.
In a new interview with The Cut, the 34-year-old rap goblin/genius/skater/scented candle enthusiast said what we’ve all been secretly thinking: “TOO. MANY. PODCASTS.”
And before you start sobbing into your ring light—he’s not just being a hater. He’s got REASONS. Big ones.
“We give a lot of people who aren’t smart and just want attention platforms to be loud and incorrect, and other stupid people follow them,” Tyler snapped, sounding like someone’s annoyed older cousin who just wants to play Mario Kart in peace.
He said what he said. Not everyone needs a mic, babe. Some of y’all need a wrench. Or a paintbrush. Or a drum kit. Or, like, a nap.
Tyler’s Presidential Agenda (yes, he’s still fake-running for fake-president in his fake dreamland) includes BANNING podcast microphones on Day 1. That’s right. You want to talk into a mic? You better be DJing in Ibiza or announcing the school lunch menu. Otherwise, it’s a no from Commander Tyler.
But plot twist! There are TWO podcasts that made it past the Tyler Purge:
- Grits and Eggs (no notes, just vibes)
- The Cutting Room Floor (you get a golden mic pass)
So unless your podcast has that kind of juice? Tyler thinks you need to unplug the mic, go touch some grass, and maybe… become an electrician. Or a drummer. Or literally anything but another person yapping into a Blue Yeti about “how vibes are currency.”
Anyway, moral of the story:
🎤 If your podcast has less flavor than unsalted rice, Tyler’s comin’ for your mic.
🎧 The Podcastpocalypse is HERE. And Tyler is its chaotic, stylish overlord.
