Tyler, the Creator Is Currently Terrorizing Buzzfeed
BuzzFeed is both the 44th most popular website in America and a constantly revolving red carpet for celebrities, both animal and human, who regularly swing through the site's offices in Flatiron. Today brought the charmingly rude skate-rapper Tyler, the Creator, and...it's not going well.
Tyler is essentially a professional asshole, exactly the type of person who you want to randomly show up in your office on a Wednesday. Especially if your office is founded on ideals of positivity and enthusiasm such that has a "no haters" policy. Inviting Tyler and his friends to Buzzfeed is like inviting the skaters who smoke behind the van during lunch to a drama club meeting.

Let the record reflect that five minutes ago, Tyler The Creator walked past my desk and shouted "Y'all got niggas here."

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

Tyler the Creator just walked into the office, started screaming, and then shot someone with a Nerf gun. Casual Wednesday.

“Guys, c’mon…” - @TommyWesely to Odd Future

Good fucking question. RT @aaronmedwards: My question always goes back to: Who lets all these people into @BuzzFeed's offices
— Saeed Jones (@theferocity) May 14, 2014
It's almost as if a constant stream of celebrities in the workplace might be a poor idea. (The most famous person in the Gawker office today is Sam Biddle.)
UPDATE: Tyler has responded.
BUZZFEED WAS GREAT, MINUS THE CRYBABIES WHO DIDNT LIKE WHEN PEOPLE CAME AND MADE THEIR OFFICE COLORFUL. BUZZFEED I LOVE U THO

He also went on HuffPost Live, where he said that he and Odd Future "just came in there trying to bring in so much yellow freaking filling to their gray, boring [lives]." On the subject of shooting off a Nerf gun in the office, he made this more or less unassailable argument: "How do you have a Nerf gun in there if you don't want anybody messing with it?"
On Instagram, he posted this video of one of the Odd Future kids pretending to be Batman (or something), which makes the entire scene seem absurdly uncomfortable.
