Tyler, The Creator of Odd Future has called Brisbane a city of racists after performing to a sold-out show in West End on Sunday night.

Tyler Okonma, of Los Angeles group Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (otherwise known as Odd Future), posted a series of comments on Twitter over the weekend and yesterday. Okonma, 20, who’s also known by his stage name Tyler, The Creator, has nearly a quarter of a million followers on Twitter. He told them people in Brisbane were “racist as f—-” and he was “uncomfortable” and wanted to go home. “I get this weird vibe,” he wrote. Later, he added “Im in Brisbane Right Now. They hate Niggas Out Here. ” but added that MLBRN (Melbourne) “was  cool”.

Okonma later told the crowd at his sold-out show at West End’s The Hi-Fi on Sunday night that he’d had a run-in with a ”racist asshole” at a KFC in Brisbane. He told the crowd he wouldn’t judge Brisbane on one person’s behaviour, however his earlier tweets remain in his stream. Regardless, Okonma seemed to enjoy the show: “F—-ing Brisbane Show Was F—-ing SICK!”, he tweeted later. “So F—-king Happy. Australia Was F—-king Fun Over All. Thanks To The White People Down Under (Except For Them Hating Racist From Earlier).”

Okonma, who is now happily back in the US (“Its Been A Week Since I Had My Phone, So Happy To Be Home”), later wrote that he was taking the popular Australian pastime of “planking” back with him.
