Barcelona to feature Tyler, The Creator on shirts for Clasico against Real Madrid

Barcelona and Spotify pick Tyler, The Creator for Clasico shirt

FC Barcelona and shirt sponsor Spotify have reportedly settled on American rapper Tyler, The Creator as the next artistic collaboration to grace the Blaugrana kit for this month's El Clasico against Real Madrid.

According to Catalan broadcaster RAC1, Tyler, The Creator is next in line and Barcelona will use the American rapper's logo on their kits for the match on October 25 against Madrid at Camp Nou. The huge game will be played later this month.

As part of Barcelona's sponsorship deal with Spotify, the Catalan giants have been featuring artists on their shirts for the big game against their bitter rivals for several seasons now.

Tyler, The Creator will be the ninth artist to feature on Barca shirts, following the likes of Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, the Rolling Stones and Olivia Rodrigo, and it's rumored his 'GOLF' slogan — in reference to his clothing brand GOLF WANG — could be used.

Tyler, The Creator has been embroiled in controversy during his career and was even banned from entering the UK a decade ago amid claims his lyrics encouraged hatred, violence and intolerance. He has since gone on to win three Grammy Awards and pulls in over 38 million listeners monthly on Spotify.
