(AllHipHop News) Tyler the Creator’s idea of humor has long been documented as a bit different than the norm. Earlier today (May 12th), a number of employees of Buzzfeed have informed the world that Tyler the Creator entered their offices and became belligerent.
According to Buzzfeed LGBT editor Saeed Jones and Buzzfeed Senior Editor Matt Bellassai, Tyler the Creator entered the Buzzfeed offices in New York City and began becoming verbally and physically intimidating to the staff:
Tyler The Creator just walked into the BuzzFeed newsroom wearing a sombrero, screaming at the top of his lungs.

Tyler the Creator is about to literally destroy our office I’m too scared to move

While these tweets seem cryptic, Buzzfeed writer Spencer Althouse intimates that Tyler’s actions may have been his usual jocular terrorism:
Tyler the Creator just walked into the office, started screaming, and then shot someone with a Nerf gun. Casual Wednesday.

However not everyone at Buzzfeed sees the humor. According to Deputy editor-in-chief at Buzzfeed Shani O. Hilton and writer Ashley Ford, Tyler not only embarrassed himself but an entire race of people:

basically: WHO KNEW THE FIRST PERSON TO CALL ME A N##### AT WORK WOULD BE BLACK

In case you were wondering, being called a n##### by Tyler, The Creator feels pretty much the same as a white dude saying it.
