Overview
- Tyler, the Creator, who reposted the clip to his Instagram Story on Saturday, denounced fans for sharing security-camera footage of him and called the practice invasive.
- The images came from a Mexico City bookstore, identified by outlets as Polilla Librería, where screenshots of in-store surveillance began circulating in late March.
- He cautioned that this behavior will spread to sensitive places and devices, citing doctors’ offices, grocery stores, and Ring doorbell cameras that can capture people at home without consent.
- He said he had congratulated the shop owner and even signed something during the visit, which he argued made the decision to post the footage feel like a breach of basic respect for personal space.
- Outlets noted this fits a pattern of pushback from the artist, who also criticized Meta’s camera glasses on his Story, and has previously objected to leaked shop footage and aggressive paparazzi encounters.
