In a recent interview with All Def Digital, Desiigner finally clears up the meaning behind "Tiimmy Turner." In response to the question, "Who is Tiimmy Turner?" Desiigner said, “Timmy Turner is me. I was referring to myself when I was saying I ‘was wishin’ for a burner.'"

He continues to explain the rest of the lyrics: "When I said ‘she fuckin’ for BET,’ I was referring to a girl that, you know, would do anything for the fame. Then I would say in the song that I know that my soul’s in the furnace, because if I know that I wish for the burner, and she knows that she would do anything for the fame, you know you go to hell.”
