Tyler, the Creator recently changed his infamous @fucktyler handle on Twitter to @tylerthecreator. “RIP FUCKTYLER, WILL MISS YOU, ITS BEEN GREAT, BUT NOW ITS TIME FOR ME TO......IDK WHAT EXACTLY, BUT ITS TIME, IM OK WITH THAT,” he wrote at the time. In a new interview from Afropunk Brooklyn, Tyler has explained that he changed the handle because of business reasons. “My stock just went up because of that name change,” he said. “How can I contact corporations, like ‘yo invest a bunch of money in me.’ Oh yeah, my name has this in it. First impression is automatically out the window.” Tyler also discusses his ban from the U.K., his old songs, and his appreciation for Afropunk’s demographic. Watch the full interview below.
