$ilkMoney Accuses Tyler, The Creator of Copying His Style on New Album ‘Don’t Tap the Glass’
Rapper and former Divine Council member $ilkMoney has taken aim at Tyler, The Creator following the release of his surprise album Don’t Tap the Glass, claiming the Grammy-winning artist is stealing his style. In a series of explosive Instagram Story videos posted Monday night, $ilkMoney also threw shots at André 3000, accusing both artists of biting his creative approach.
The main source of his frustration? Tyler’s track “Mommanem”, which $ilkMoney claims closely mirrors his own 2019 song “My Potna Dem” from the cult-favorite album G.T.F.O.M.D: There’s Not Enough Room for All You Motha Fckas to Be on It Like This*.
In the video rant, $ilkMoney didn’t hold back:
“Tyler, the Creator, stop sucking my dck n**a. Get your own swag. André 3000, stop sucking my dck. I’m sick of you little weird ass n***s that I work with thinking you can run off with the swag,” he said. “Do you baby, I’m tryna do me.”
He followed up with a direct comparison, posting a snippet of Tyler’s “Mommanem” and writing:
“All you ns get off my dck in my DMs. Fck you and this na. Nobody talking about titles. This n**a copying ‘My Potna Dem.’ Eat a dck.”*
He concluded with a blunt message: “Fck you btches. I said what I said. Ion need you to feel me. Reach for these nuts.”
The accusations come just hours after Tyler dropped Don’t Tap the Glass, his first full-length project since 2023’s Chromakopia. The 10-track album arrived with minimal warning but quickly received praise for its upbeat, high-energy production and dance-focused vibe. Featuring collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Baby Keem, Daisy World, and Madison McFerrin, the project was described by Tyler as something meant for movement.
“This album was not made for sitting still. Dancing, driving, running — any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it. Only at full volume,” Tyler wrote in a social media statement following the album’s release.
While Tyler has not publicly responded to $ilkMoney’s claims, the controversy has sparked debate among fans online — with some defending the uniqueness of both songs, while others acknowledge potential stylistic similarities. This isn’t the first time $ilkMoney has called out artists for what he perceives as creative theft, but the explicit nature of his comments has added fuel to the fire.
As of now, neither Tyler, The Creator nor André 3000 has addressed the accusations, but with Don’t Tap the Glass trending and $ilkMoney making noise, the conversation around originality, influence, and respect in hip-hop continues to evolve. Whether the beef escalates or fizzles out, one thing is certain — $ilkMoney has made sure his voice is being heard.
