Unban Tyler, The Creator from the UK and allow him to be able to perform.

What the petition asks

The US rapper Tyler, the Creator was banned from the UK because of the nature of his lyrics which is out of order considering the lyrics were written when he was a teenager and they were written from an alter ego so does that mean authors who publish vile books should be banned?

The letter from the secretary of state for the home department sent a letter to Tyler that his lyrics “encourages violence and intolerance of homosexuality” How can you still judge an individual from 6-7 years ago? I believe his ban should be lifted. He hasn't written lyrics like that since, just look at his recent album Flower Boy. He promotes doing well in life and just enjoying life in general. The man is an inspiration to many including myself and has changed drastically.
