Rapper Tyler, the Creator says he’s been banned from entering the United Kingdom due to lyrics from his 2009 album, Bastard. The rapper, born Tyler Gregory Okonma, cancelled four performances in the country on Monday, cryptically blaming it at the time on “circumstances” that were “beyond my control.” Okonma has been criticized for the violent, often homophobic nature of his music, with one writer accusing the artist of “rape and murder fantasies graphic enough to send the vomit rising along with the bile.” BASED ON LYRICS FROM 2009 I AM NOT ALLOWED IN THE UK FOR 3-5 YEARS ( although i was there 8 weeks ago) THAT IS WHY THE SHOWS WERE CANCELLED. — Tyler, The Creator (@fucktyler) August 26, 2015 Okonma’s manager, Christian Clancy, posted a statement on his Tumblr, saying the British Home Department had sent a letter banning his client for 3 to 5 years based on work that “encourages violence and intolerance of homosexuality.” Clancy accused the British government of censorship and inconsistency, pointing out that Okonma had visited the country several times over the past few years. DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES I WONT BE PLAYING READING, LEEDS, BELFEST AND OTHER SHOWS IN THE UK.
