Remove the ban on Tyler, The Creator entering the UK

Closed 5,959 signatures

What the petition asks

Tyler The Creator was banned from the UK for controversial lyrics off his debut album Goblin in 2011. The content was clearly intended as adult humour, hasn't incited violence, and the artist has shown overwhelming growth since the record's release. As such, this ban feels petty and should be lifted
