Tyler, The Creator has revealed that he has a clause in his will prohibiting any unheard music being released after his death.

Tyler made the revelation during his his intimate concert at L.A.’s El Rey Theatre on Wednesday night (April 26), where he performed his latest project The Estate Sale for the first time.

The show was filled with many memorable moments, including a run-through of an unreleased song called “Penny,” which the former Odd Future frontman revealed was the first track he recorded for Call Me If You Get Lost and is a freestyle over Rich Boy’s “Throw Some D’s.”

“Some of these are so good I can’t just let ’em sit on my hard drive,” Tyler told the crowd moments before diving into the song. “Because I have in my will that if I die, they can’t put no fucking post[humous] album out. That’s fucking gross, [they’ll get] like some random feature on it, some n-gga I didn’t fuck with.”

 

 

While performing “Penny,” Tyler, The Creator name-dropped Elon Musk and referenced his 2018 Tesla car crash.

“See, I fuck with Elon Musk but that Tesla tried to kill me,” he rapped before running the song back and interjecting: “True story … I don’t lie. I almost died in that accident.”

Luckily, Tyler wasn’t injured in the crash, which happened in the early hours of October 25, 2018. The rapper’s white Tesla Model X reportedly collided into a parked car in L.A., causing the parked vehicle to be thrust around 50 feet from where the impact happened.

“My big doopy ass usually go to sleep 10:30 (I wake up at 7 er morn) and guess who wanted to finish music super late and dosed off for a few seconds while driving home,” he later wrote on Twitter. “I’m a dumb ass bitch but lil mama don’t have a scratch I’m lucky.”

Elsewhere during his El Rey Theatre concert, Tyler brought out Vince Staples as a surprise guest to perform their Estate Sale collaboration “Stuntman” for the first time.

 

Tyler, The Creator isn’t the only rapper to loathe posthumous albums. Anderson .Paak took to his Instagram Stories last August to unveil a new tattoo warning people not to share his music after he’s gone.

“When I’m gone, please don’t release any posthumous albums or songs with my name attached,” .Paak’s tattoo reads. “Those were just demos and never intended to be heard by the public.”

Tyler’s latest performance comes after Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale dropped on March 31. The eight-track offering, which essentially serves as the deluxe edition of his 2021 album, features appearances from A$AP Rocky, YG and the aforementioned Vince Staples, as well as guest production from Madlib and Kanye West.

The project debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 earlier in April and helped the original Call Me If You Get Lost achieve platinum status.
