Tyler, the Creator "thanked" Theresa May as he mocked the former prime minister in his acceptance speech at the Brit Awards.
Accepting the award for Best International Male Solo Artist, Tyler, The Creator made fun of Mrs May, who banned the rapper/singer-songwriter from the UK in 2015 when she was Home Secretary.
Concluding his speech, said: “Thank you Theresa May. I know she’s at home p****d off.”
He also paid tribute to the UK music scene, saying: “Shout our to all the British funk from the 80s that I try to copy.”
Tyler, the Creator was banned from the UK in 2015 after his lyrics were deemed to encourage "violence and intolerance of homosexuality" and foster "hatred with views that seek to provoke others to terrorist acts."
A Home Office spokesperson said at the time: "Coming to the UK is a privilege, and we expect those who come here to respect our shared values.
"The Home Secretary has the power to exclude an individual if she considers that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good or if their exclusion is justified on public policy grounds."
The ban has since lifted, and the star will return to UK stages this year, including a headline performance at Manchester's Parklife Festival in summer.
Tyler, the Creator also paid tribute to the UK music scene in his Brits speech, saying: “Shout our to all the British funk from the 80s that I try to copy.”
He recently won Best Rap Album at the 2020 Grammys for his 2019 release Igor.
