On Wednesday night Tyler The Creator was honored at the annual Innovators Awards held by WSJ Magazine. The “Who Dat Boy” rapper was awarded Music Innovator of the Year! The event took place in New York at the Museum of Modern Art. The rapper took to Instagram to share his excitement about receiving the honor and to also thank his close friend A$AP Rocky who presented him the award.
Tyler has had a great year, as he achieved his very first #1 record with his fifth studio album Igor. In addition, the lead single off the project, Earfquake, went platinum a few months after the album released. The Grammy-Nominated artist has already had a very successful career and has evolved tremendously throughout the years! Watch how T gave a heart-felt acceptance speech on how he got to where he is today!
