Tyler, the Creator is putting his former collaborators on blast.

On Thursday afternoon, the 31-year-old artist publicly accused Brandun Deshay and Tyler Major of stealing his unreleased music and selling it online. Tyler didn’t share details about the tracks in question, but claimed Deshay and Major were using Discord to hawk “old songs of mine.”

“… Copping stolen shit is like damnnnn u thirsty as hell ok,” he tweeted. “Like bruh that shit is true personal stolen stuff and n***as is like gb gb gb. Like damn bro you that thirsty for 2 minute drafts / few hundred bucks? Get it together fellas. Subliminal tried to get on a call like no bro, just stop, it’s not cool dawggy.”

Tyler’s relationship with Deshay and Major goes back more than a decade. The former collaborated with Tyler on 2009’s “Session”; however, his verse was removed from the track following some kind of fallout. Tyler took shots at Deshay in several decades-old tweets, claiming he and the Odd Future crew were no longer cool with him.

Major was part of the hip-hop collective Nobody Really Knows, which included Odd Future affiliate Hal Williams, better known as Pyramid Vritra.

Tyler has not indicated whether he’ll pursue legal action against his former collaborators.
