Odd Future star Tyler, The Creator has talked of his recent meeting with Will.i.am. It's fair to say the meeting didn't go well, with the Black Eyed Peas star trying to offer some friendly advice that failed to hit the mark. The result was a bitter Twitter rant.
Tyler took to Twitter to express his anger at Will.i.am's remarks, accusing him of pre-emptively writing off the long term prospects of the young upstart unless he follows the older star's path into the world of mainstream pop. Although it seems The Black Eyed Peas supremo's comments were made in the spirit of friendship, you have to question his choice of words given his audience.
Here are a few choice selections from Tyler's epic rant:
I MADE A BET WITH WILL I AM FOR A MILLION BUCKS THAT I WILL BE MAKING MONEY 10 YEARS FROM NOW DOING WHAT I LOVE AND NOT WHAT MAKES THE MOST

Odd Future are known for their uncompromising approach, and it seems unlikely they will ever make the sharp about face that The Black Eyed Peas did. In addition, if Tyler The Creator ever turns up as a judge on The Voice that would be a very odd future indeed.
