Rejected petition Remove the ban of Tyler, The Creator that prohibits him entering the UK.

Tyler, The Creator, a creative American Rapper was banned from entering the UK back in 2015 for what Theresa May said 3-5 years. It has been 3 years and his fan base in the UK have struggled to make movement with this idea. We would all love to see him tour the UK in the near future.

More details

Theresa May (Home secretary at the time) and the home office banned Tyler for 3-5 years after his album 'Goblin' was deemed 'unacceptable in the UK' and was backed up by the 2005 guidelines to prevent suspected terrorists enter the UK. However, since then, a Neo-Nazi group have played in Glasgow and Cardiff. Tyler has released many songs that promote peace for example, his latest album 'Flower Boy' which shows somewhat a softer side of his creative persona.
