Tyler, The Creator was one of the winners at this year's VMAs as he picked up the award for Best New Song with his hit Yonkers.
Now however he is being targeted by anti-homophobic campaigners following his victory. Anti-homophobia campaigners GLAAD have objected to the very offensive lyrics in Tyler, The Creator's music. The associate director of GLAAD posted today, '"MTV didnt choose the winner of the Best New Artist category (that's chosen by public vote) on last nights show, but they did decide to nominate Tyler in the first place and put him onstage. We hope in the future they will think more carefully about the message they're sending to their young audience before giving him another platform."
Tyler, The Creator does not have any tours planned, but fans are hopeful he will be touring soon.
As soon as they are revealed Tyler The Creator tour dates will be available here.
