Nobody would confuse Tyler, The Creator for an Olympic athlete, but he’s centering his upcoming “Sticky” visual around the sports world.
Tyler delivered the trailer for the self-directed Chromakopia video on Friday (Jan. 31), which jumps from a football team’s huddle on the gridiron to the Grammy-winner playing a brass family instrument in a marching band and Tyler lacing up a pair of boxing gloves like Mike Tyson.
There’s still no firm release date for the black-and-white clip, but fans can expect it to arrive soon. “Video will come,” he captioned the YouTube video’s description.
“Sticky” features assists from Sexyy Red, GloRilla and Lil Wayne and the bumping Chromakopia posse cut cracked the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10. Tyler, The Creator’s eighth studio album topped the Billboard 200 with just under 300,000 total album units earned.
With the marching band teasers and California connection between Tyler and Kendrick Lamar, some fans have speculated that Tyler could make an appearance at K. Dot’s Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans next month.
Unfortunately, Tyler shut down the Super Bowl fan-driven theory as he’s hitting the road for his Chromakopia Tour. However, there is an off-day on Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 9) as Tyler will be between Kansas City and Denver shows.
“N—a im on tour I will not be at football game yall better watch Kenny,” he hopped into an IG comment section to close the rumor mill.
