Tyler, The Creator, and A$AP Rocky seem to have a good bond. On February 18, 2025, a jury acquitted Rocky, who faced a trial for allegedly shooting a friend in 2021.
The news relieved Tyler, who addressed the situation during a Los Angeles concert for his Chromakopia tour. He said he “almost passed out” after hearing the verdict in Rocky’s case.
“I almost passed out when they read the verdict. My brother Rocky is not guilty.”
Social media reacted to his statement, complimenting their friendship. One X user reshared the post by “NFR Podcast” with the caption:
“I forget they’re besties sometimes.”
Netizens appreciated Tyler, The Creator for lifting A$AP Rocky while others called it a “powerful moment.”
“It's great to see friends lifting each other up,” a social media user commented.
“That’s such a powerful moment!” a person mentioned.
“i remember when the two camps had beef way back when. it’s so good to see this all these years later,” an online commentator pointed out.
Many X users expressed their love for Tyler while others showed their excitement for A$AP Rocky’s next album.
“this is why we love him,” a netizen reacted.
“Yeah yeah tell Rocky To Drop,” a fan suggested.
“tyler such a real one,” an internet user wrote.
Tyler, The Creator warned the audience to be careful about the people they surround themselves with, saying that jealousy can lead to betrayal. He called out those who bring others down, labeling them as negative influences.
After that, he appreciated his longtime friends, highlighting their loyalty over the years. He expressed gratitude for having the same close friends for nearly two decades and made it clear how much they mean to him.
Tyler, The Creator, and A$AP Rocky had previously collaborated on several projects
Tyler, The Creator made it clear that he didn't want people calling him brother, twin, or king, emphasizing that he kept his circle small. He believed many people had bad intentions and would rather see him fail, which is why he chose not to associate with them.
Instead, he gave a shout-out to his true brothers who have stood by him. Before wrapping up, he sent a heartfelt message to A$AP Rocky, letting fans know how much he appreciated him.
In 2024, when Tyler, The Creator released the cover art of his Chromakopia album, A$AP Rocky decided to have some fun. He jumped into the comments on Tyler's announcement post to playfully tease him about his appearance, calling him ugly in a light-hearted way.
Tyler, The Creator's friendship with A$AP Rocky dates back to around 2016, following past speculation about tensions between A$AP Mob and Odd Future. Over the years, they have worked together on multiple tracks like See You Again and Potato Salad.
There were even talks of a joint project, WANG$AP, which didn't work out. They previously toured together and collaborated on songs such as Who Dat Boy and Wharf Talk.
After the verdict was announced, A$AP Rocky hugged his lawyers and seemed emotional, with tears in his eyes, as the second not-guilty verdict was announced. He expressed gratitude, thanking God and acknowledging the jury for their decision.
