In the world of music, collaborations and friendships can often take us by surprise. One such unlikely friendship is that of Maxo Kream and Tyler, the Creator. In a recent interview with No Jumper, Maxo Kream revealed how they became friends and the connection they share.
The story goes back to a day when Maxo Kream was performing at Yams Day. He ran into Tyler in A$AP Rocky's dressing room, where Tyler was cracking jokes on everyone. Maxo found himself laughing along and connecting with Tyler. They started chopping it up and Tyler mentioned that he had heard Maxo's album while he was with Rick Rubin in London. Intrigued, Maxo suggested they link up and make music together.
And so, Maxo Kream traveled to LA and their friendship blossomed. They ended up having a lot of tracks together, some of which Tyler had produced, and Maxo had rapped on. It was a fast connection, fueled by their shared love for music. In fact, Maxo admits to being a fan of Tyler even before they met.
But what's most fascinating about their friendship is how it works. Maxo mentions that whenever they hang out, Tyler flexes his wealth and jewelry collection. However, what sets Tyler apart is his lack of desire to flaunt it all over social media. Maxo believes that when you are truly wealthy, you don't need to show off to prove it. Tyler's taste and style in music and fashion come from a genuine place, not a need for validation.
Maxo also touches on how great their conversations are and how they have different perspectives on fame and success. While Maxo feels the need to flex on social media, Tyler understands that their fan base wants authenticity and passion on stage rather than material possessions. It's this understanding of their audience that has made them successful in their own unique ways.
The conversation takes an interesting turn when Maxo is asked about the rumors surrounding Tyler's sexuality and his rumored relationship with Jaden Smith. Maxo responds by saying that he doesn't know the truth and that it doesn't matter to him. He believes that everyone should be allowed to be who they want to be without judgment or speculation.
