Some popular comments on X are as follows:

"Feb/09 isn't listed as a tour date and Kansas City to New Orleans is only roughly a 2-hour flight. Not saying he lying but he def could be," added another.

"Tbh him saying this makes me think he will be there even more lol. He will be in MO the night before. Not too far away," opined another user.

"Lol Kenny making sure everyone got em on heels. Dr. Dre came out like a moron without any self-reflection to give NLU a pass, and now Tyler making sure fans don’t miss em there! Bros got a whole orchestra of coordination," one user chimed in.

One X user claimed that he did the same while releasing the album Chromakopia.

"Can't believe a word he says. First, he said no album was coming out this year then a week later announced CHROMAKOPIA then he said "No features" and then the album had multiple with 3 on just one song and they weren't even hidden either," wrote the user on X.

"He also said he didn’t have an album about a month before chroma dropped, fams hanging with Sza for sure , streets is about to eat," agreed another.

"he lied abt working on a album, he lied about no features in the album….might be a small chance he’s lying," claimed a netizen.

Some other reactions to Tyler, the Creator's comment on X are as follows:

"I really hope Tyler isn't there, they don't have any features, what would he do there? sing his own songs while Kendrick watches?" a user claimed.

"There is a mini break in Tyler’s tour between February 8th and 11th. Maybe he can still be there," noted another.

"He performs in KC the night before. Then has a 4 day break before the next show. I think it’s doable but that adds some logistic adversity," agreed one user.
