Tyler, The Creator announces end of Odd Future
Last Wednesday, Tyler, The Creator tweeted, “although its no more, those 7 letters are forever.” Odd Future fans immediately started panicking, assuming of course that “those 7 letters” meant OFWGKTA, the oft-used abbreviation for Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All.
although its no more, those 7 letters are forever.

damn going threw the old golf wang photos shit. i miss my friends alot. 5 years later isnt that long but wow soooo much has happened — Tyler, The Creator (@fucktyler) May 28, 2015
The group – which included Tyler, Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt, Hodgy Beats, and many more – had an enormous and wildly devoted fan base, many of whom were obviously distraught by the breakup. Tyler responded to a post on Spring.me to express empathy:
i feel it dude, but, people are fans and it was something they cared deeply about. i dont understand why people are acing ‘above’ people who have any feelings towards something they had a connection with coming to an end. thats what life is, having a connection to something thats hard to explain because it makes you feel, and when thats gone, as a human, people will let it be know. same could go for breaking up with someone, or your favorite food being discontinued, its all relative. i legit did not think that tweet would spiral out of control, but for some reason im happy it did. its been obvious that ‘those 7 letters’ havent been a thing for years. looking at some old photos had me reminicing about old times. people grow, some grow left some grow right. thats how it is, esp. in your 20s. its normal tho, as you get older you start having a different mindstate and/or start really growing into the one you always had. seeing things differently. for some people…..im rambling now, but yeah, i wish everyone good luck and i hope they grasp the opportunities they have in front of them and continue success flight.
anti golf boys cause i dont fuck with me either hahaha, it was a underlying reason why i made that =)
Earl Sweatshirt, on the hand, was slightly less understanding:
no sympathy for male virgins who’re in their feelings about tyler pointing out and solidifying the obvious.
