It wouldn't be a visit to Oceania for Tyler, The Creator and his Odd Future crew without some kind form of controversy. The band have been banned entry to New Zealand after being "deemed to be a potential threat to public order".

Odd Future were billed to support Eminem in Auckland for the Rapture festival but their visas were revoked by immigration following pressure from Stop Demand - an anti-sexual violence group.

"Odd Future has been deemed to be a potential threat to public order and the public interest for several reasons, including incidents at past performances in which they have incited violence," reads a statement from Immigration New Zealand.

This isn't the first time the rap crew have been banned from NZ, having been removed from the Big Day Out line-up back in 2011.

Naturally Tyler has made his opinion known via his Twitter.
