Tyler, The Creator has branded Taylor Swift fans ‘racist’ for trying to cancel him over his old lyrics about the star.
Rapper Tyler, 33, released his eighth studio album, Chromakopia, on Monday, just 12 days after officially announcing the project and shocked fans with an album concert in Boston on Halloween.
However, Tyler’s attention shifted from his new release to Swifties bringing up his problematic past lyrics – including song Fish from his 2009 album Goblin in which he raps: ‘Tyler swiftly slips his d*** inside of Taylor Swift’s sl**/Round trip in that p***y, here comes the ticket!’
Lambasting trolls during the show in a new video, he said: ‘I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist a** bringing up old lyrics, b***h go listen to Tron Cat again, I don’t give a f***.
‘What the f**k b***h? They gonna bring out the old me”‘

2011 track Tron Cat saw the then- 20 year old musician rap about plans to ‘rape a pregnant b***h and tell my friends I had a threesome’, domestic violence and chronic masturbation.
At the time, Tyler received widespread backlash for the lyrics but still performed the track at the 2021 Lollapalooza Festival.
Swift and Tyler have been battling for 1 on the global Spotify Top Artists chart on Halloween – with Swift reclaiming the position recently.
Tyler will be heading on a seven-month world tour in celebration of Chromakopia.
Kicking off in Minnesota on February 2, the tour will see him perform across North America before heading to the UK and Europe on April 25.
Tyler’s lyrics have previously landed him in hot water.
In 2015 he was blocked from entering the UK – a year after he was banned from New Zealand for posing ‘a threat to the public order and the public interest.’
Tyler tweeted: ‘Based on lyrics from 2009, I am not allowed in the UK for 3-5 years (although I was there 8 weeks ago). That is why the shows were cancelled.’
The Home Office would not comment on the specific case but said in a statement: ‘Coming to the UK is a privilege, and we expect those who come here to respect our shared values.’

Tyler’s lyrics have previously landed him in hot water. In 2015 he was blocked from entering the UK in part due to explicit lyrics on Goblin
Government papers given to the musician revealed he was rejected under the Home Office policy of ‘behaviors unacceptable in the UK – with lyrics from Tron Cat. VCR, Blow, Sarah and French cited.
A letter to Tyler wrote: ‘The home secretary has considered whether, in light of this list, you should be excluded from the UK on the grounds that your presence here would not be conducive to the public good. The home secretary has reached this decision because you have brought yourself within the scope of the list of unacceptable behaviour by making statements that may foster hatred, which might lead to intercommunity violence in the UK.
‘Your albums Bastard, in 2009, and Goblin, in 2011, are based on the premise of your adopting a mentally unstable alter ego who describes violent physical abuse, rape and murder in graphic terms which appears to glamourise this behavior.’
In 2019 he was allowed to enter the UK after the Home Secretary (Theresa May) resigned and he told the Guardian of the 2015 incident: ‘Then you get the official thumbs up. It was like: damn, finally, but it was so stupid to have to endure that. I got treated like a terrorist. Yeah. I got treated like I was a murderer
