Tyler, The Creator has responded to Theresa May’s resignation as prime minister – cheekily announcing “im back”.
The US rapper was banned from entering the UK in 2015 by May, then home secretary, due to lyrics said to encourage “violence and intolerance of homosexuality”.
theresa gone, im back
The 28-year-old Californian posted a short message to his 8 million Twitter followers, aiming a jibe at May, who on Friday announced she would step down on June 7.
He said: “theresa gone, im back.”
It is understood the ban was lifted from February 13 and he arrived at Luton Airport in the early hours of Saturday for an impromptu gig in Peckham, south-east London.
The Odd Future co-founder had announced the gig with only a few hours’ notice and surprised fans by tweeting a picture of himself outside Buckingham Palace.
But the event was cancelled due to overcrowding, the Metropolitan Police said, although there were no crimes, reported injuries or arrests.
