Tyler, The Creator’s new album Chromakopia came out this week, which prompted the rapper to do a special Halloween show in Boston titled “30 Minutes Of Chromakopia.” It was the second of two pop-up shows he did for Converse this week, the first being in Atlanta, which saw him performing the new songs live for the first time. As this show played out, Tyler happened to mention the fact that Taylor Swift fans were trying to “cancel” him over old lyrics after he momentarily surpassed her on the global Spotify Top Artists chart.

“I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist ass,” he said. “Bringing up old lyrics, bitch, go listen to ‘Tron Cat,’ I don’t give a fuck. They gonna bring out the old me.”

Swift (the subject, not the person) has indeed appeared in Tyler tracks before. On “Fish,” from 2011’s Goblin, Tyler drops a few graphic bars about the him and Swift, uh, canoodling… On the same album, on “Nightmare,” he says: “Love? I don’t get none, that’s why I’m so hostile to the kids that get some/ My father called me to tell me he loved me/ I’d have a better chance of gettin’ Taylor Swift to fuck me.”
