Tyler, The Creator has revealed that he wanted to release his album ‘Wolf’ as a surprise to fans and that he was annoyed when Beyoncé used the same tactic for her latest album.

The Odd Future leader also released his latest album in 2013 but used conventional methods, unlike Beyonce who issued her album without prior warning.

“I wanted to do that with my last album but I wasn’t able to,” Tyler said in a new interview with Billboard. “When Beyoncé did it, I was like, ‘What the fuck? That was my idea years ago! Fuck you!'”


Elsewhere in the interview, Tyler reveals he is learning to play guitar but admits that he is struggling to write new songs. “Dude, it’s fucked up, but I don’t have any new songs,” he says. “I wish I did. Maybe next year. Right now I’m just doing other things.”

Later this month Pharrell Williams will headline Odd Future’s own festival. Rick Ross, Mac Miller and Earl Sweatshirt will also play the third annual Camp Flog Gnaw event, which will take place on November 8 at The Park at the Coliseum in Los Angeles.

In addition, performances will come from The Internet and there will be solo sets from Odd Future members Hodgy Beats, Left Brain, Domo Genesis and Mike G, as well as sets from Action Bronson, Freddie Gibbs, Trash Talk and Cherry Glazerr.
