Tyler, The Creator has directly addressed speculation surrounding his verse on Clipse’s new track “P.O.V.” from the album Let God Sort Em Out, clarifying that his lyrics were not aimed at Drake. The controversy began after Tyler rapped, “Little feature, n**gas threaten to sue me? / Tell your lawyer to set the fee,” prompting fans to theorize that the bar was a subtle jab at the Canadian superstar, especially given the ongoing legal drama between Drake and Universal Music Group.
However, Tyler took to social media to set the record straight, explaining that the line was actually directed at an unnamed “old friend” he previously collaborated with, who had threatened legal action over a feature. He urged fans not to “run with a narrative,” effectively shutting down rumors of a Drake diss.

With Drake and Tyler never having collaborated musically—and considering their only notable public interaction was Drake’s infamous Camp Flog Gnaw appearance—fans have shifted their focus to other possible targets. One prevailing theory now points to Playboi Carti, whose verse was cut from Tyler’s track “Thought I Was Dead” on the CHROMAKOPIA album, despite their prior successful collaboration on “EARQUAKE”.
Tyler’s verse on “P.O.V.” has been widely praised for its sharp lyricism and layered references, further cementing his reputation as a genre-bending disruptor within hip-hop.
