During his recent performance at Camp Flog Gnaw, Tyler, The Creator boldly addressed perceptions of his ego, turning a critique into a powerful affirmation of self-confidence. Speaking to the crowd, the influential artist and Odd Future founder confronted claims of being egotistical, stating emphatically, “Hell fucking right I’m full of myself, ’cause that’s how I feel about me.”
Tyler’s declaration was more than self-praise; it was a testament to his achievements and determination. “Everything I said I wanted to do, I did,” he affirmed, underlining his journey with a resume of successes. He then channeled this message of self-assurance to his audience, encouraging them to pursue their dreams and maintain belief in themselves, regardless of others’ opinions.
This ethos of confidence has been a recurrent theme in Tyler’s career, both in his music and public persona. In his song “RUNITUP,” he reiterates this sentiment, showcasing his unwavering self-belief. Tyler’s manager, Christian Clancy, echoed these sentiments, highlighting Tyler’s busy year and strategic planning post-pandemic, proving that his confidence is as strategic as it is inspirational.
