About

So That Was a Fucking Lie is a series of reaction images of rapper and recording artist Tyler, the Creator saying the phrase in an interview.

Origin

On October 13th, 2014, Mass Appeal magazine published a video entitled "Inside The Cover #55: Eric Andre and Tyler, The Creator." In the video, Tyler, the Creator and Eric Andre pose for the magazine cover (shown below). At one point, Andre mentions that they are in the magazine. Tyler, the Creator replies:

We're not in the issue of Mass Appeal, yet, cause we're shooting all the photos for it, right now. So that was a fucking lie.



On November 24th, 2017, Twitter[1] user @cakefacedcutie used a screen capture of Tyler, the Creator with the caption "A man: *breathes* Me." The post received more than 32,000 retweets and 81,000 likes in less than one year.


A man: *breathes* Me: So that was a f------ lie.
