On June 23, 2025, X page @DailyNoud posted an image of rapper Tyler, The Creator alongside Gaylord Robinson, a character from The Amazing World of Gumball. For the unversed, The Amazing World of Gumball is an animated sitcom following the lives of an anthropomorphic blue cat and his adopted goldfish brother Darwin.

Gaylord Robinson is the supporting character, Gumball Watterson's neighbor, and DailyNoud's post was in the context of Tyler's comment on the character. The post read:

"Tyler, The Creator speaks on his hatred towards 'The Neighbor' in The Amazing World Of Gumball. 'I can't stand that old man. Dude straight up boring, he just hates fun. If I saw him in real life I’d probably throw my shoe at him. Dumb f*ck. What's his name? Gaylord f*cking Robinson? Dumb f*cking name.'"

The post has garnered 1.7 million likes at the time of this writing; however, it is a fake claim. No credible media publication or hip-hop news portal has reported news of Tyler, The Creator's comment on The Amazing World of Gumball or any of its characters.

Additionally, @DailyNoud's X bio reads:

"#1 Source For PARODY Hip-Hop News | These are fake stories | Not affiliated with @DailyLoud 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️"

@DailyLoud, on the other hand, is a credible hip-hop news page, and fans often confuse the parody page with the other one.

Multiple netizens expressed how they almost believed the news to be true before they checked that the post was from @DailyNoud and not @DailyLoud.

Moreover, while there is no proof that Tyler criticized The Amazing World of Gumball's character either in an interview or on social media, the rapper praised the animated sitcom via a tweet in November 2014.
