Tyler the Creator came under some serious fire recently after an ad campaign he created for Mountain Dew was viewed as racist and sexist by critics. Well now the controversial rapper is speaking out about the commercial and says the whole thing was blown WAY out of proportion!

Most notably, Syracuse University Professor Boyce Watkins called it "arguably the most racist commercial in history." But Tyler just does't understand where he's getting that idea, saying:

At this point, Tyler the Creator's name has essentially become synonymous with controversy.

The foul-mouthed rapper and his buddies from Odd Future have teamed up to put together an ad campaign for Mountain Dew, and the commercials are already being deemed both racist and sexist.

For some reason, we're not surprised considering both of those subjects seem to be common themes in his music.

The ads come in three parts, the first of which shows a goat beating on a female waitress after a Mountain Dew-enduced frenzy. But the clip that's drawing all of the criticism is the bizarre conclusion which shows the bruised and battered woman attempting to pick the culprit out of a police line-up.

The other suspects (who are played by Odd Future members) are all black, and while the attacker is an animal, he spits

Disgustingly horrific!

When 17-year-old Chassan Rasagi watched Odd Future perform in San Antonio, TX earlier this month, he had no idea his favorite rap group would beat him senseless on stage in front of thousands of screaming, ravenous fans!

After reportedly suffering multiple lacerations and even two seizures as a result of the barbaric attack, the young man filed police report with the San Antonio PD and plans to sue the rap super-group fronted by Tyler, the Creator that also often includes brilliant musician Frank Ocean.

WARNING: The highly disturbing video of the altercation (above) is not for the faint of heart!

While some witnesses swear Chassan actually threw the first punch, those details are hard to discern in the fan vid.

Other sources swear Chassan went on stage and rapper Hodgy Beats pushed him back into the crowd. Then, they say, the crowd actually tossed him back on the stage when the band decided to collectively beat the stuffing out of him.

Regardless of how or why this started, it's tragic to see an underage music fan who went to a show hoping to have fun end up bruised, battered, and burned for his troubles.
