Tyler, The Creator has clarified that his verse on Clipse’s new track “P.O.V.” from their album Let God Sort Em Out was not a diss aimed at Drake, despite widespread fan speculation. On July 11, Tyler took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the controversy, explaining that the line “Little feature, n**gas threaten to sue me? / Tell your lawyer to set the fee” referred to an unnamed old friend he had previously worked with, who threatened legal action over a feature, not Drake or Kanye West as many had assumed.
The confusion arose partly due to the timing—Drake is currently suing Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us,” which has been a major topic in hip-hop circles. Tyler’s appearance on a Clipse record also raised eyebrows given Pusha T’s history of feuding with Drake. However, Tyler and Drake have never publicly had issues, and Tyler’s loyalty lies with Pharrell Williams, who has had longstanding tensions with Drake.
Among fan theories, some speculate the verse might be about Playboi Carti, whose verse was cut from a previous Tyler track on the vinyl edition of CHROMAKOPIA, though this remains unconfirmed. Meanwhile, Pusha T recently praised Tyler as the “No. 1 Clipster,” highlighting Tyler’s deep knowledge and appreciation of Clipse’s work.
In summary, Tyler, The Creator has set the record straight: the controversial bars on “P.O.V.” are about a personal dispute with an old collaborator rather than a public feud with Drake or Kanye West.
