LeBron James
surprises fans by backing Tyler, the Creator's latest release on Instagram
Don't Tap the Glass, Tyler, the Creator's ninth studio album, will be released on Monday, July 21, 2025. He made the revelation during a recent show. The crowd was ecstatic when he casually revealed the album title at his Brooklyn gig on Friday. He uploaded the same on his Instagram with the caption:
'TOMORROW… 6am EST… DONT TAP THE GLASS..'
The post was later shared by
NBA
legend LeBron James on his Instagram Story. He recently co-signed the new album Don't Tap the Glass, demonstrating his respect for the creator.
As soon as the post was uploaded, it swiftly went viral. Although the two legends have acknowledged one another before, this serves as a stark reminder of how their influence transcends all sectors.
The singer, however, has a clear philosophy that explains why he favors early-week releases. As per Complex, he explained his point of view in an interview with Nardwuar in 2023. He claimed:
'I think we should put music out again on Tuesdays instead of Fridays, for some reasons..
My reasoning is, I know people think because of the weekend, they can listen to stuff, and the streams go up. And the streaming people are like, 'Oh, the streams go up on the weekend!' But I think it's a lot of passive listening, at parties or people get the time to go to the gym, so they're not really listening.'

He added:
'To work on an album for so long and put so much energy into it and for it to be released at midnight…just seems so disrespectful.'
This evolving relationship between LeBron James and Tyler, the Creator, showcases how artists and athletes amplify each other's cultural influence. Whether or not they have official collaborations planned, the singer's presence in the NBA icon's orbit speaks volumes.
