Tyler, The Creator Receives Innovator Of The Decade Award At Variety’s Hitmakers Event

Tyler, the Creator was honored with the Innovator of the Decade award at Variety’s Hitmakers event in Los Angeles on Saturday (December 6), where the Grammy-winning rapper reflected on 15 years of creating groundbreaking work that spans music, fashion, and acting. “For me, always looking forward — that’s where I sit comfortable at,” Tyler said in his acceptance speech. “But damn, it does feel good to hear the last 15 years you’ve been doing super-duper, awesome sh*t. I’m so grateful y’all have noticed things I’ve done.” Presented by André 3000, who praised Tyler’s mentorship and versatility, the award recognized his continuous push to redefine hip-hop since his 2009 debut with Odd Future. Celebrated for his integrated artistic vision – from albums and music videos to fashion and film roles like the upcoming Marty Supreme – Tyler recently released two Grammy-nominated albums, Chromakopia and Don’t Tap the Glass, cementing his status as a transformative force in contemporary music and culture.
