Tyler, the Creator name drops Timothée Chalamet on new tune ‘Okra’

A CMBYN stan, naturally

In his first new track since last year’s banging Flower Boy album, Tyler, the Creator has given Call Me By Your Name’s Timothée Chalamet a special shout-out.

Tyler has just surprise-dropped “Okra”, an intense, bass-heavy track that he says he made in January before his tour with Vince Staples began. “Tell Timothée Chalamet to come get at me / Skin glowin’, clear of acne…” he raps, referring to the CMBYN and Lady Bird actor.

Chalamet is a massive fan of acts like Cardi B (who previously tapped him on Twitter) and Frank Ocean, who he went head-to-head with in VMan magazine.

“I should shoot something to this and just put it out for fun and move on with my life or it’ll sit on my hard drive like a lot of other things,” Tyler tweeted.

Watch the video for “Okra” below.
