Earlier in August, Tyler, The Creator cancelled his Australian tour following protests from a feminist group surrounding his explicit lyrics.

Tyler recently pitched the idea of a collaboration to former One Direction singer Zayn Malik.

Taking to Twitter, Tyler wrote: “Hi @zaynmalik, I have beautiful instrumentals and you have a voice lets figure this out my guy. Epic album cuts tho no radio singles”.

Malik later responded to the rapper’s offer and appeared keen to link up. “@fucktyler sounds sick BRO let do some shit!,” he replied.

Malik parted ways with the boyband in March, stating that he wishes to be “a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight”.

However, Malik recently confirmed that he’s inked a solo deal with RCA Records, the same imprint as Foo Fighters, A$AP Rocky and Miley Cyrus, saying he wishes to make “real music”.
