Are Kendrick Lamar, Clipse, and Lil Wayne features on Tyler, The Creator’s ‘Don’t Tap The Glass’? Viral rumor debunked

When Tyler, The Creator teased "Don’t Tap The Glass", excitement spread like wildfire. The rapper’s surprise album, set to drop on Monday, July 21, was first hinted at during his Brooklyn concert on Friday night. As part of the CHROMAKOPIA world tour stop, Tyler made the official announcement, and fans quickly started speculating about what was coming.

But with hype comes misinformation, and this time, it arrived in the form of a fake tracklist that included some pretty big names. Fans thought they were about to hear collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, Clipse (Pusha T and Malice), Lil Wayne, and others. That false information didn’t just stay on fan pages, it reached music outlets and went viral across social media.

Tyler, The Creator shuts down fake ‘Don’t Tap The Glass’ feature rumors

It didn’t take long for the internet to explode over the rumored guest appearances. The fake tracklist included a star-studded lineup: Kendrick Lamar, Clipse, Lil Wayne, Lola Young, Earl Sweatshirt, Steve Lacy, BADBADNOTGOOD, and Brent Faiyaz. The excitement was understandable, many of these names have collaborated with Tyler before or exist within his creative circle.

However, the buzz got too big. Complex Music picked up the rumor and shared it, seemingly validating the leak in the eyes of many fans. That’s when Tyler himself stepped in to shut things down. Taking to Twitter, he made it very clear:

“FALSE. NONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE ON THIS, I DID NOT POST THIS INFO I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU GOT THIS FROM TO CONFIRM IT.”

The post was direct and left no room for doubt. Complex Music quickly deleted their original post, but the damage was already done. Screenshots of the fake tracklist had already circulated widely, leading to more speculation before Tyler’s response cut through the noise.

The rumor likely caught on so fast because of how unpredictable and genre-blurring his work has become over the years. Fans have seen him collaborate with everyone from Frank Ocean to A$AP Rocky, so a feature list like this didn’t feel entirely out of the question. But this time, it was simply made up.

Trending

As of now, he hasn’t revealed much about "Don’t Tap The Glass" apart from its release date. There’s no official tracklist, no confirmed features, and no lead single, just growing anticipation. Some fans believe the aesthetic hints at a throwback vibe, inspired by early 2000s rap mixtapes or even '80s-era LL COOL J, but again, that’s just speculation.

For now, all we really know is that 'Don’t Tap The Glass" is on the way, and Tyler wants fans to ignore the noise. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best way to experience an album is without expectations. Whether it includes big names or is entirely solo, the focus is on the music, not the rumors.
