Tyler, the Creator and Hodgy Beats Fight as Odd Future Continues to Disintegrate

On Saturday, Tyler, the Creator held his annual Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in Los Angeles. When the lineup was announced, it included a listing for "OFWGKTA", despite earlier indications that Odd Future seemed to have broken up. It was unclear at the time who, exactly, would play the set.

It turned out that the Camp Flog Gnaw OFWGKTA lineup included Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis, Left Brain, and Mike G. Tyler and Earl Sweatshirt didn't join them.

During the set, Hodgy Beats reportedly made disparaging comments about Tyler. (Tyler says he was watching from the side of the stage). During his own set, Tyler addressed the controversy, but didn't name names: "Ni**gas got me fucked up," he said. "I put too many ni**as on. I helped too many of my motherfucking friends out, and ni**as gonna come foul? You know who the fuck I'm talking about, ni**a. And yes, this is real. I love you though."

Watch footage of Tyler's set below. His remarks start at the 39:22 mark:

Later, Tyler commented on Twitter:
