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

Collective Shout's WA State coordinator was asked for comment about Chris Brown and Rihanna for OK magazine.

Despite R&B singer Chris Brown having brutally beaten pop star Rihanna in 2009, the pair appear to have resumed their relationship. Caitlin tells OK magazine that the emphasis needs to be on Chris Brown. He and other perpetrators of violent crime should be held accountable for their actions.
