I am the last thing on this planet as far as being a racist. I don't know where she got that out of me saying I'm not sure how she would have judged Bob Dylan. Maybe I spoke out of turn. But a racist I'm not, Nicki," said Tyler.
After the "Cornfield," comments were made by Tyler the female artist took to Twitter to voice her opinion on the matter and told her fans to make him a shirt that says "No Coloreds Allowed."
