Tyler the Creator just capped off the biggest year of his career, as Apple Music named him their 2025 Artist of the Year on November 20. That distinction was powered by staggering streaming numbers, including more than 4.5 billion minutes of listening time worldwide, making 2025 his all-time best year in terms of global reach and fan engagement, as confirmed by both Apple Music and Hi FM. Two ambitious albums defined Tyler’s year: Chromakopia, his most personal and cinematic work yet, set new records for him on release, while Don’t Tap the Glass—a raw, urgent follow-up dropped mid-tour—rocketed straight to number one in over 55 countries and earned five GRAMMY nominations between them. Critics and fans noted this dual release as a sign of fearless artistic risk-taking and genuine genre innovation.

Live performances cemented his status further: Tyler headlined the eleventh Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival at Dodger Stadium on November 22, where he shared the stage with Clipse, performing POV and delivering a heartfelt tribute that underscored their foundational impact on his artistry, as detailed by Vice and enthusiastically captured on social media and YouTube. Tyler told the crowd how deeply Clipse influenced him, openly acknowledging their legacy right in front of tens of thousands.

This past week was also marked by some turbulence. According to Magic 93 FM and his own socials, Tyler had to postpone an earlier Camp Flog Gnaw date due to severe weather—though the event was ultimately rescheduled and delivered as promised. On the digital front, IMDb and Uinterview reported that old, controversial tweets and recently deleted posts resurfaced, sparking backlash and conversation about Tyler’s past social media presence, though no new direct statements from Tyler have addressed the topic.

Looking ahead, Tyler’s momentum seems unstoppable. He is set to make his feature film debut in Marty Supreme, a Josh Safdie-directed period piece starring Timothée Chalamet, signaling a potential expansion of his brand into cinema. Apple Music users with Tyler in their recent Shazam history even received a special message on their home screens, evidence of his extensive modern cultural reach. As for the business of Tyler, he continues to oversee the Camp Flog Gnaw festival, which has become an industry platform for both established and cutting-edge talent. Multiple headlines this week, from Apple Newsroom to major music outlets, all echo the same sentiment: Tyler’s creative leadership and willingness to take risks have raised the stakes for everyone in music and beyond.
