“Tyler, The Creator” showed fans the sophistication of his latest album, “CHROMAKOPIA,” which continues to dominate with impressive commercial sales.
On Sunday (November 10), the Los Angeles native enlisted his Twitter followers for an exclusive Q&A session to solicit their late-stage reveals about the album, now that listeners have had nearly three weeks to listen to it the project. Coincidentally, Tyler’s CHROMAKOPIA once again topped the Billboard 200 chart, selling more than 160,000 copies in its second week of tracking, helping it maintain its No. 1 spot for a week in a row.
“From CHROMAKOPIA, have you ever had something grow on you that grabbed your ears and took a while to click?” Tyler, the Creator questioned in his original tweet.
FROM CHROMAKOPIA Do you have anything growing on your body that catches your ears after a while and takes a while to make a clicking sound?

Following the influx of fan feedback, Tyler began interacting with several users, in turn revealing multiple nuggets about the album while praising many of his collaborators. In response to a fan celebrating his decision to collaborate with British singer-songwriter Lola Young, Taylor also sent flowers to Willow Smith, whom he called an “alien” and Doechii, who he said made him “nervous” because of her talent.
“Lora’s voice had so much power,” he wrote. “Willow is an alien, that girl is special… and Doe… she really gets on my nerves, she’s amazing, and I’m so lucky that they’re both a part of this album.”
After fans reacted emotionally to his mom’s appearance on the album I Hope You Find Your Home Way, Taylor revealed that the specific part of the song the user commented on was inspired by a limited-edition collection he designed in collaboration with Louis Vuitton. Riel Williams.
“This is a real clip of me getting the call when my LV collection was launched,” he wrote. “No one knew about it and I was tight-lipped, so she was shocked.”

Replying to a fan who thanked him for inviting Solange Knowles to provide her angelic vocal style on the album, creator Tyler quipped, “I had no choice, it needed her.”
In addition to confirming that Santigold also worked on the album, Tyler also took a jibe at the haters who didn’t like his “Sticky” song featuring GloRilla, Sexyy Red, and Lil Wayne, and briefly touched on his hit The double meaning of the single “NOID”.
