Tyler, the Creator released “Okra”—his first track since the release of Flower Boy last July—on Thursday and fans are losing it over a shoutout within the song at a certain popular celebrity.

In the third verse of the 27-year-old rapper’s new track, Tyler calls out Call Me By Your Name star Timothée Chalamet and tells listeners to tell the actor to “come get at me.” Tyler also compliments Chalamet’s skin, calling it “glowin’, clear of acne.”

Fans of Chalamet—who was launched into stardom this year—wasted no time before shipping him with Tyler.

Chalamet has been getting a lot of love from rappers, lately. On Sunday, Kid Cudi tweeted that Chalamet was his favorite artist of the moment—and Chalamet freaked out.

While Chalamet has retweeted some fan reactions to Tyler’s shoutout, he hasn’t yet tweeted anything about it himself.
