Over the past few days, speculation has been wild about the future of hip-hop collective Odd Future, which counts Frank Ocean, Tyler, The Creator, Hodgy Beats and Earl Sweatshirt among its members. Observers have known that the group has been growing apart over the past few years as the members have focused on their burgeoning solo careers, but according to a response to a fan on social media network Spring from Tyler (via High Snobiety), the group is officially broken up.

"I feel it dude, but, people are fans and it was something they cared deeply about. I don't understand why people are acing 'above' people who have any feelings towards something they had a connection with coming to an end. That's what life is, having a connection to something that's hard to explain because it makes you feel, and when that's gone, as a human, people will let it be know. Same could go for breaking up with someone, or your favorite food being discontinued, its all relative. I legit did not think that tweet would spiral out of control, but for some reason im happy it did. It's been obvious that 'those 7 letters' haven't been a thing for years. looking at some old photos had me reminiscing about old times. people grow, some grow left some grow right. That's how it is, esp. in your 20s. its normal tho, as you get older you start having a different mind state and/or start really growing into the one you always had. seeing things differently. for some people.....im rambling now, but yeah, i wish everyone good luck and i hope they grasp the opportunities they have in front of them and continue success flight.

anti golf boys cause i dont f*ck with me either hahaha, it was a underlying reason why i made that =)

GOLF BOYS! IM SO HAPPY TO BE HOME RIGHT NOW

YO LISTEN TO "Paris Toyko" REMIX BY LUPE P QTIP SARAHGREEN. THE LYRICS MAN, YOUNG GHETTO MIND GO FLY UHHHHHGGGGG."

The issue became public when Tyler, The Creator started posting on Twitter some of his thoughts when he was looking through old pictures of Odd Future. He posted "although its no more, those 7 letters are forever," leading to speculation that the group had split. He tried to refute it the next morning, but Earl Sweatshirt seemed to contradict the Cherry Bomb rapper.
