A$AP Rocky has jabbed longtime friend, Tyler, The Creator, calling him a “bitch” while performing at Lollapalooza.

While on stage at the music festival, Rocky said while laughing: “Shout out to my brother Tyler, he still a bitch. He was on here the other day. Fuck you Tyler.”

Rocky also recently said that the Odd Future founder was his “annoying little brother”.

Speaking to Variety, Rocky said of his “Potato Salad” collaborator while laughing: “You know Tyler a piece of shit. He play too fucking much. You couldn’t wait for me to tell you how much a piece of shit he is. He like an annoying little brother or some shit like that.”

 

He added: “I love that dude. That’s my brother right there, man.”

Tyler recently admitted that he almost fainted while awaiting the verdict in Rocky’s shooting trial earlier this year.

In his initial reaction, Tyler welcomed the not guilty verdict by posting a picture on his Instagram Stories of Pretty Flacko hugging his lawyer, Joe Tacopina.

The next night, he spoke about the moment to the crowd at his Chromakopia World Tour stop in Los Angeles.

“I almost passed out when they read the verdict,”  he said. “My brother Rocky is not guilty! That’s a testament to watch who y’all keep around you because n-ggas be jealous, bum ass, loser ass, bitch ass n-ggas ready to take you down. I’m so grateful for my muthafuckin brothers. I done had the same friends for almost 20 years. I love y’all n-ggas so damn much”

He concluded: “Shout out Rocky. I love you n-gga. My n-gga free. Yessir!”

It has previously been rumored that the two contemporaries would link up for a collaborative project tentatively titled WANG$AP.

However, Tyler shut down the idea after Rocky let it slip during an interview with Angie Martinez.

“i wish rocky would shut the fuck up and stop always saying what he’s working on 40 years before its even a fleshed out idea,” the Odd Future founder wrote on Twitter. “with that said, again, dont get your hopes up and be ‘disappointed’ because something that doesnt really exist didnt come out. that shit dont exist yall =).”

Rocky would later confirm that they wouldn’t be doing the album, saying in Tyler’s voice: “I wanted to do an album with Tyler, but he said ‘we’re not doing a fuckin’ album. Don’t ask again.’”

Red Hot Chili Peppers Land Over $300 Million From Catalog Sale

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have reportedly sold their recorded music catalog to Warner Music Group in a massive deal valued at more than $300 million.

The agreement arrives five years after the legendary rock band sold their publishing rights in a separate deal worth around $150 million. According to reports from The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard, the band’s recorded catalog, which includes 13 studio albums and nine releases distributed through Warner Music Group, was officially acquired on Friday for more than double the amount of the earlier publishing sale.

The acquisition is said to be part of a much larger partnership between Warner Music Group and Bain Capital. Together, the companies have reportedly spent around $650 million acquiring music and publishing assets, with the Red Hot Chili Peppers catalog making up nearly half of that total. Details regarding the remaining acquisitions have not yet been disclosed.

Back in May 2021, the Red Hot Chili Peppers sold their publishing rights to Hipgnosis Songs Fund for approximately $150 million. However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, those rights could soon change hands again as Hipgnosis, now operating under the name Recognition Music Group, is currently being acquired by Sony Music as part of another multi billion dollar transaction.

The band’s recorded catalog had reportedly been available on the market since last year with an asking price close to $350 million. Warner Music Group was widely viewed as the most natural buyer considering the label has worked with the band since the release of 1991’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Before joining Warner, the group’s first four albums were released through EMI.

Financially, the catalog remains extremely valuable, reportedly generating around $26 million in annual revenue. Ownership of the recordings had remained with the band prior to this latest agreement.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers most recently released Unlimited Love and its companion album Return of the Dream Canteen in 2022. At the time of reporting, neither the band nor Warner Music Group had publicly commented on the catalog acquisition.
