Trouble awaits Tyler, the Creator in his return to the UK.
It appears as though efforts to remediate Tyler, the Creator’s travel ban in the UK have been successful. It was reported late last month that one Tyler’s ardent supporters launched a petition to have him reinstated. Back in 2015, Tyler, the Creator was banned from entering the United Kingdom due to the graphic nature his lyrics. As the petition stated in his defense, Tyler’s lyrics] “clearly intended as adult humor and] hasn’t incited violence.”
6 hours ago, Tyler posted a picture himself posing in front the pearly gates Buckingham Palace, thus inciting rumors that he’d managed some kind side-deal to re-enter the country. The Guardian would later confirm that his travel ban was indeed lifted, with immediate effect. In an accompanying Twitter post, Tyler also revealed that he’d be performing cuts from his new IGOR album at the Bussey building in Peckham at 3 pm (today), all but settling the accord his “unwelcome presence” in Great Britain.
Unfortunately, 30 minutes after he was due to take the stage, Tyler revealed that “cops canceled it,” it being his presentation IGOR at the Bussey building in Peckham. According to reports, it was venue security and not the “cops” who canceled the proceedings. It’s no secret that England’s hip-hop scene is forced to persist through the systematic oppression state authorities. It would seem Tyler all rappers, was subjected to the same totalitarian practices as the Drill scene.
