Tyler the Creator has released a heavy new track, ‘Fuck It’ taking aim at the feminist campaign, led by Collective Shout, that forced him to cancel shows in Australia. Tyler was also recently banned from the UK, with the Home Office citing lyrics that describe “violent physical abuse, rape and murder in graphic terms which appears to glamourise this behaviour.”

In the song Tyler responds to accusations of homophobia and misogyny saying: “I think people love to be mad/ how can I be misogynist love titties and ass/ how can I be homophobic when my boyfriends a fag”.

He then attacks Collective Shout’s campaign and Australia’s border control, rapping “tell Australia I’m sneaking in with a mic in my damn hand/ instead of the vegetables that I packed in my backpack”

Talking about his ban from the UK he goes on to rap: “worse thing they gave me was an opportunity and a pen/
freedom of speech? my freedom was breached/ border patrol put me on streets immediately”

He also compares his controversy with Eminem’s, saying “when marshall had this problem what the fuck was they telling him?/ is it cause of status or his melanin lacks black”.

His recent video for ‘Buffalo’ has also been seen as a comment of the recent controversy surrounding him. It sees him being lynched by an angry mob, which can be seen as a metaphor for his critics attacks on him.

Tyler Tweeted earlier that he recorded ‘Fuck It’ two weeks ago, saying “I RECORDED THAT TWO WEEKS AGO.” and that he “COULDNT COME UP WITH A NAME […] FUCK IT”.
