Los Angeles rapper and controversy magnet Tyler The Creator may be prevented from coming to Australia this year if his entry is blocked by the Federal Government as he has claimed.

Tyler, the 24-year-old member of the underground hip hop outfit Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All whose full name is Tyler Gregory Okonma, posted on social media that he has been "banned from Australia". If true that would force the cancellation of his September tour which had him scheduled to perform in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.

Tyler the Creator claims he's been banned from touring Australia in September.

In his tweet, Tyler appears to be putting the blame for the assumed ban on the activist organisation Collective Shout, which has been demanding that the Immigration minister, Peter Dutton, prevent his return to Australia on the grounds his music promotes and glorifies violence against women.

"You won Coralie Alison," Tyler's tweet says, referring to the director of Collective Shout. "I'm happy for you."
