Rejected petition I believe american rapper 'Tyler the Creator' should be allowed in the UK

In August 2015, 'Tyler the Creator' was banned from the United Kingdom due to lyrics he wrote in 2009. I believe that Tyler the Creator should be allowed into this country as the lyrics he wrote are now almost 10 years old now. Tyler's content has changed through is latest album 'Cherry Bomb'

More details

Tyler, the Creator 'Bastard' and 'Goblin' is where his songs contain the lyrics which got him banned in 2009. Tyler has said that in these albums, certain songs are his alter-ego. These alter-egos are merely fictional characters to follow a story line throughout his albums. His latest albums and songs. 'Wolf' and 'Cherry Bomb' have been described as soulful and hip hop. This obviously juxtaposes his previous albums which has been described as 'horror-core'
