Tyler, the Creator has been one of hip-hop’s most unpredictable presences on Twitter/X since the early Odd Future days, mixing absurdist humor, music promotion, and the occasional real controversy into one of the more distinctive celebrity feeds in music. Rather than inventing quotes that can’t be verified, this rundown covers his most documented Twitter moments and eras.
The early Odd Future era
Tyler’s Twitter presence took off alongside Odd Future’s breakout in 2011, the same year the group’s shock-heavy “Yonkers” video went viral. His tweets from that period leaned into the same confrontational, deliberately provocative style that defined the group’s early music and interviews, and a number of those posts have resurfaced online in recent years as decade-old tweets get rediscovered by new audiences.
The 2017 account deletion
In April 2017, Tyler deleted his Twitter account entirely, a genuinely documented moment rather than a rumor. His last tweet before the deletion read, “High chance i delete this and insta, how are you?” — a characteristically low-key, almost throwaway sign-off for an account he’d used for years. He later returned to the platform.
Old tweets resurfacing (2025)
More recently, old tweets from Tyler’s early Twitter years — some containing language and jokes widely read as offensive by today’s standards — began recirculating and drawing renewed criticism. Reporting on the resurfaced posts noted Tyler was around 20 years old when most of them were written, and that he has since distanced himself from that material, including reportedly deleting some of the posts as they resurfaced.
What makes his feed distinctive
Across both eras, Tyler’s account has stood out less for any single viral tweet and more for a consistent voice: chaotic, self-aware, and willing to be genuinely strange in a way most artist accounts (run partly for promotion) aren’t. He uses the platform to promote music and GOLF WANG releases as much as any other artist, but the random, off-topic posts are what fans tend to screenshot and share.
Where to see his real tweets
Because exact tweet wording is easy to misremember or misattribute, the most reliable way to see what Tyler has actually posted is his verified X account directly, rather than screenshots circulating without a source.
