Tyler, The Creator is making it clear: not all albums are meant for the stage.
While out on his massive Chromakopia World Tour, Tyler took a rare social media break to address fans who’ve been chanting for him to perform songs from his polarizing 2015 album, Cherry Bomb—specifically, the track “Deathcamp.” His response? Unapologetically blunt:
“Chant all you want (I hope you don’t, it’s mad annoying during the show). I’m not gonna play it. Chanting doesn’t magically make me wanna play it.”
No Stage Love for Cherry Bomb
In a clip circulating online, fans can be heard chanting for Cherry Bomb at one of Tyler’s recent shows. But instead of giving in, Tyler doubled down right there on stage:
“I genuinely don’t know the logic of why you think chanting that is going to sway my decision. I don’t want to play that! And most of the crowd doesn’t want me to.”
For longtime fans, the refusal comes as a contrast to Tyler’s past praise of the experimental project. But clearly, the artist has evolved—and he’s choosing to curate his live experience based on what excites him today.
Why It Matters
In a world where artists often bend to audience demand, Tyler’s stance is a bold reminder: real creatives stay in control of their narrative. Love it or hate it, he’s not about to let a crowd dictate his setlist.
Still, Tyler’s Chromakopia Tour remains a smash—he even took a moment to thank fans, calling the tour “wonderful so far.”
