Rapper Tyler, the Creator is known for making bold, controversial statements and picking feuds with other musicians. Now, the "Garbage" rapper is taking on one of the biggest producing names in music, will.i.am, saying he's a sell out making "butt s---" music purely for monetary gain.

In a profanity-laden rant posted to his Twitter account, Tyler, the Creator said he and will.i.am made a bet for a million dollars that the Odd Future rapper would still be making rap music 10 years from now by "doing what I love and not what makes the most." Will.i.am countered that statement, according to Tyler, the Creator. "N---- SAID 'THEN YOU MAKE A DECISION ON WHAT TO DO TO SURVIVE' NO N---- THAT'S NOT HOW IT IS FOR EVERYONE. IM NOT GONNA MAKE MUSIC I HATE," he wrote on his Twitter.

Then, Tyler accused will.i.am of selling out in both his musical life and legal life. "HES SO TALENETED BUT HES MAKING BUTT S--- TO MAKE BREAD, USE THE CREATIVITY FOR SOMETHING TIGHT MAN," he wrote. "I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT UP THE FACT HE TRIED TO SUE PHARRELL ON SOME F--- A-S--- BUT I WAS SO MAD HE INDIRECTLY SAID I WAS GONNA 'SELL OUT.'"

Tyler, the Creator then continued, saying it wasn't fair that will.i.am assumed he would sell out just because the former Black Eyed Peas rapper did. Despite the negative comments, Tyler decided to take the will.i.am encounter and use it as motivation.

"THIS N---- REALLY WALKED UP TO ME TELLING ME ABOUT MYSELF 10 YEARS FROM NOW. N---- F--- YOU NOW IMA GO OUT OF MY WAY TO PROVE YOU WRONG," he wrote. "IMA STAY POSITIVE AND FOCUSED LIKE I HAVE BEEN SO I CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE A TENNIS COURT IN MY BACKYARD EAT A D---."

So far will.i.am has not responded to the "sell out" claims made by Tyler, the Creator.
