Tyler the Creator BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Tyler the Creator has owned headlines these past few days after being crowned Apple Music’s Artist of the Year for 2025, with the official announcement landing on November 20. Apple Music, Billboard, and Revolt all highlight his achievement, noting that fans listened to over 4.5 billion minutes of Tyler’s music from November 2024 to October 2025, making this his strongest year ever on the platform. His creativity was on full display: early in the year he dropped the widely acclaimed album Chromakopia, praised by Apple’s Zane Lowe for its world-building and character depth. Not content with just one landmark release, Tyler wrote and recorded another album mid-tour, Don't Tap the Glass, taking a sharper, urgent approach to rap and immediately blasting to No. 1 in more than 55 countries. This dual album attack set new streaming records and has earned him five Grammy nominations, including Best Rap Album and Album of the Year.
His live performances made just as much noise. Last weekend, Tyler’s flagship festival, Camp Flog Gnaw, went ahead after a rain delay forced a week’s postponement. The event at Dodger Stadium was an example of Tyler’s commitment, from the LA-metro themed stage set full of graffiti and an actual subway car, to his high-energy hour-long set featuring songs from both new albums as well as perennial fan favorites like Earfquake and See You Again. The LA Times and Daily Bruin both praised Tyler for his resilience and his connection with the crowd, particularly as he thanked fans for sticking with Flog Gnaw for 11 years. The festival was packed with star power, as headliners included A$AP Rocky, Childish Gambino, Doechii, Clipse, and Earl Sweatshirt. Tyler joined Clipse on stage for a performance of POV from their new album, and, according to Vice, he poured out his admiration live, crediting Clipse as “blueprint” influences on his career and calling the moment “cathartic.”
The festival delivered another viral moment when a bright orange Marty Supreme blimp circled overhead, as predicted in a parody pitch by Timothée Chalamet. Tyler’s impending feature film debut in the Josh Safdie-directed drama Marty Supreme has become a recurring talking point across social media and entertainment outlets, with anticipation multiplying thanks to Chalamet’s offbeat promotional antics.
On Instagram, Tyler acknowledged both the Apple Music award and the success of Camp Flog Gnaw, keeping fans fed with behind-the-scenes posts and sincere thanks. The mood everywhere is celebratory—Tyler is closing 2025 with historic streaming records, Grammy buzz, a festival that survived chaotic weather, and his first major film role waiting to drop at Christmas. No negative or speculative stories have emerged in recent coverage, and the only rumors buzzing are about what genre he might conquer next.
