Just before Christmas I learned that Snoop Dogg (AKA Snoop Lion) would be kicking off a national tour for Big Day Out.

A petition has been launched on Change.org calling for the Minister for Immigration Scott Morrison to revoke the visa of US rapper and self-confessed pimp Snoop Dogg aka Snoop Lion aka Calvin Broadus.

"Should the immigration department take Collective Shout’s latest campaign any further, future Tyler tours Down Under could become a whole lot trickier to arrange." - US Music industry magazine Billboard.com

After our call to action to stop pro-rape US rapper Tyler the Creator from performing in Australia we were inundated with messages of support. Our call to action was forwarded far and wide and shared on social media. The response was amazing. Men and women, young and old were taking action.

As reported in the Sydney Morning Herald:

NSW Police have confirmed they are investigating a sexual assault at a gig where US rapper Tyler, the Creator was performing.

A NSW Police spokesman confirmed it was investigating a sexual assault report made by a woman during a concert at the Enmore Theatre on Thursday night. He said no formal statement had been taken yet.

Collective Shout has uploaded a YouTube video of US rap artist Tyler the Creator engaging in a vicious tirade against a young female activist during a Sydney all ages gig last night. The footage was recorded by a Collective Shout supporter in the audience.

The 24-year-old anti-violence against women activist has been engaged in the campaign of grassroots movement Collective Shout against the Australian tour of Tyler Gregory Okonma aka Tyler, the Creator. Collective Shout has called on Immigration Minister Brendan O’Connor to revoke his visa.

Has Tyler the Creator breached his Visa conditions?

Collective Shout has drawn the attention of Immigration Minister the Hon. Brendan O'Connor to a series of rape and other threats from fans of US rap artist Tyler the Creator. We believe these threats have been fuelled by the artist’s abuse of our actions online. We are asking the Minister to examine whether Tyler the Creator has violated the terms of his visa conditions. Our letter, written by Caitlin Roper our W.A coordinator, appears below:

Collective Shout spokesperson Melinda Liszewski was interviewed by Spencer Howson for ABC local radio about the campaign calling on Eatons Hill Hotel to cancel misogynist pro-rape rapper Tyler the Creators show. 

Eatons Hill Hotel declined to be interviewed for the program. 

“We’ve asked the Eatons Hill Hotel to come on air they spoke to us a couple of years ago when they launched and they were happy to tell everyone then that they were one of the biggest hotels in australia…it was ok when it was a good news story for them but they’re not coming on the program this morning to talk with us.” - Spencer Howson

We have received such a huge response to our call to action yesterday. Many of our supporters have been contacting the Minister for Immigration and the venues hosting rapper "Tyler the creator."

One of our Melbourne supporters emailed the Palace Theatre in Melbourne with her concerns yesterday.
