Tyler, the Creator says he's been banned from entering Australia. In one of his tweets announcing the news, he tagged the director of operations at the feminist group Collective Shout.

Tyler has a history with Collective Shout. In 2013, the group lobbied for his Australian shows to be canceled and his visa taken away. During a show in Sydney in 2013, Tyler went on a tirade against a member of the group, calling her a "fucking bitch," a "fucking whore," and a "fucking cunt." The member reported Tyler to the police.
Earlier this year, Collective Shout renewed their campaign to have Tyler banned.
We've reached out to Tyler's camp for comment.
