“You know what’s sick, I used to hate that n****. I’m serious I had to go to therapy to sort it out,” Tyler said before going on to praise Glover for his work and music.

A$AP Rocky also came out for the live debut of ‘Potato Salad’ followed by ‘Who Dat Boy’. “You know what else is really crazy? I used to hate that n**** as well,” Tyler said, adding: “We thought we had beef but it was the n***** around us. And then me and Rocky realized we are in love and now we are friends.”

Later on in his set, Tyler brought out Charlie Wilson to play piano on ‘EARFQUAKE’ and ‘911’. He also brought out Kali Uchis to perform ‘See You Again’.
