Disagreements with the Odd Future Collective Group
In May of 2015, Tyler published a photo on Twitter from 2010, which contained the entire collective Odd Future. He added, “Even though it’s no longer, those seven letters [ OFWGKTA ] are forever.” This was believed to be a confirmation of the dissolution of the collective.

The following day, the member Earl Sweatshirt wrote: “No sympathy for male virgins that” The feelings about Tyler pointing and solidifying the obvious. “This caused an Internet debate over whether” the obvious “was referring to Tyler’s first statement or his second.

” OFWGKTA ” was listed in the account for Tyler, the 4th annual Carnival of the Creator of the Flog Gnaw Carnival event. [25] The lineup he performed included Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis, Mike G, and Left Brain. Tyler and Earl were not part of the set because Tyler already had a solo show and Earl had distanced himself from Odd Future around the release of his third album I Do not Like Shit; I Do not Go Outside.
At the 4th annual Flog Gnaw Carnival, Hodgy Beats called Tyler, The Creator on stage about his dissatisfaction with Tyler, and noting how “broke” and also became visibly irritated when other members of Odd Future thanked Tyler for the invitation to the carnival. Tyler replied to Hodgy in the middle of his solo set, saying, ” The hand got me fucked.” I put a lot of hands in.
I helped a lot of my fucking friends, and the hands will miss you? You know who I’m talking about, nigga. And yes, that’s for real. “Hodgy responded to those comments on Twitter saying, ” If it was not for Odd Future, where would Tyler be? ” and “Think of who built the name collectively as a unit. Now imagine who took the first initial shit in OF”. However, a day later, a humorous video on Instagram, uploaded by Hodgy, introduced him and Tyler trying to perform handstands; possibly suggesting that the dispute had been dissolved.
The video was later removed. On March 11, 2016, Syd Tha Kyd officially announced his departure from Odd Future, making the Internet just a label-related act. She also said that she did not consider herself a part of Odd Future as a rap group since 2011 when the Internet was grown.
