When it comes to visuals, Tyler the Creator never plays it safe—and his latest drop proves just that. Known for bending genres and rewriting the rulebook, Tyler has fans buzzing again. This time, it’s not just the music that has folks talking—it’s who shows up alongside him. The rapper dropped the music video for ‘Darling, I’ on Tuesday (Aug. 19), nearly a year after his album ‘Chromakopia’ first made waves. And, let’s just say…Tyler’s leading ladies are stealing the show.

Tyler The Creator Pulled Out The It-Girls & The Aesthetics, Period!
In the new video, Tyler plays a smooth, love-dazed leading man, surrounded by a dream team of iconic Black women: Nia Long, Lauren London, Chase Infiniti, Ayo Edebiri, and Willow Smith. Each woman takes her turn as a romantic muse, and the chemistry is undeniable. The video is dreamy, surreal, and stylish—everything we expect from Tyler. Also, featured in the visual is Teezo Touchdown, who brings his unique energy to the mix as the song’s guest artist.
It’s The Cheek Lick & The Tracksuit For Us!
But, the moment that has the internet in shambles? Nia Long leaning in for a kiss, only to lick Tyler’s cheek instead. It’s bold, it’s bizarre, and it’s classic Tyler. Fans are calling it “weirdly romantic” and “lowkey hilarious,” while others are still trying to process the visual flex of having that many it-girls in one video. And, let’s not even talk about Lauren London’s cameo—the world legit stopped (cue Beyoncé’s voice) when she popped out looking like NewNew reincarnated in a baby blue tracksuit, bamboo hoops, and dimples that had us MELTING. One thing’s for sure—Tyler knows how to keep us watching, rewatching, and talking.
