Rejected petition Remove ban on Tyler, The Creator entering the UK

Tyler, The Creator was banned from entering the UK in 2015 for explicit lyrics from albums made years prior to the ban. These lyrics apparently “encourage violence and intolerance of homosexuality” and “fosters hatred with views thats seek to provoke others to terrorist acts.”
This is untrue.

More details

His live performances show the complete opposite. Had claims that his lyrics incite violence, intolerance to the LGBT community, and worst of all, promote terrorist attacks, been true, why hasn't the controversial Eminem been treat the same way? Why wasn't there an uproar at the time of Tyler's album releases? Why was it left so late, years after?Fans of Odd Future are people of all different backgrounds, races, sexualities and religions who disagree with treating an artist like a terrorist.
