Tyler, The Creator is not fond of Ian’s white-preppy persona set in a urban backdrop.
And he’s not alone in that sentiment.
The release of Ian’s initial album, Goodbye Horses, managed to shift merely 13,000 copies during its opening week, securing the 86th spot on the Billboard charts.

This marks a decline from the 16,000 copies his commercial mixtape, Valedictorian, achieved in April.
Could Ian be an industry plant that flopped, or is it possible that the 19-year-old, who is affiliated with Columbia Records, still has an opportunity to make a comeback?
