Tyler The Creator Stirs Up Feud With Bruno Mars

By Michael Lopez

Could there be a little war brewing between the fans of Tyler the Creator and Bruno Mars? Since bursting on the scene with his Goblin album, Tyler has not been shy with his Doo Wops criticisms. And at Sunday's VMAs things got even more tense, when he said he would "kill himself" if Bruno nabbed Video of the Year.

Katy Perry's "Firework" wound up taking home that honor, but it hasn't slowed Tyler's attacks on Mars'music. On his "Yonkers" single, T the C threw out the line, "[I want to] stab Bruno Mars in his goddamn esophagus."

Bruno did wind up responding, albeit by taking the high road. When speaking with SPIN magazine, he said,

"[Tyler] has to wait in line if he wants to stab me. [Tyler's] definitely not the first guy that's said something like that to me and he’s not going to be the last."

For better or worse, Tyler does have somewhat of an upper hand at the moment. He scored a Moonman as MTV's Best New Artist, while Mars went home empty-handed. But Mr. Creativity may have softened his stance a bit on Sunday, particularly after watching Bruno's spirited Amy Winehouse tribute.

"He put on a good performance," Tyler told Boombox. "But I hate his music."
