Azealia Banks was completely over it during her set at a Pride show in Miami.
The rapper took the stage on Saturday for the Wynwood Pride concert where hundreds of fans came out. While she wanted to perform for them, she just couldn’t seem to pass getting “screwed over.” Banks, who looked show-ready, explained that promoters had been going back-and-forth with her set times and whether she’s the headliner.
She explained to the crowd, “I’m really not happy to be here.” Azealia said she knew it wasn’t the fans’ fault but she just wanted off that stage. She said, “I’m trying y’all, but it’s difficult.” After repeating that a few times, it looks like the promoters for the point and cut off her screen and eventually her mic. Banks is then seen throwing it to the ground. Now, one fan was clearly pissed as the video shows someone throwing water on Banks!
Azealia Banks took to Twitter to further explain what was going through her mind. She tweeted,
“Wynwood Pride was way too ghetto. I had to bounce. Every tech rider in Azealia Banks’ history of live performance specifically states – no dry ice as I am EXTREMELY allergic to it. Photos will show massive clouds of dry ice which began to make me lightheaded to a point I could.” She added, “Barely stand. I was originally booked for a 10pm set, which promoter moved to 1am, Completely inconveniencing every single member of my team. A phone was thrown on stage – proof the festival could not afford licensed security, ancient equipment – and a pig in the front who had.”
“The audacity to spit water from his hpv lesion infested mouth. An Absolute display of how Hispanic citizens in south Florida make poor attempts at selfish cash grabs by exploiting young undocumented gay boys for nightlife entertainment, or their own adult family members, for physical labor, often paying them well below Florida minimum wage – (which is well below national average) exploiting both child and adult labor laws creating a Stockholm syndrome- delusionally cultish type of group mentality based in fear, false hope.”
She went on to say, “And overarchingly desperate attempts to legitimize themselves with piss poor attempts to craft hilariously unsophisticated and pointlessly aggressive ‘ contracts/documents/lawsuits,’ They think have any legal validity outside of the brains of the intimidated migrant cult. I should have done something at west palm beach pride because somebody tío with the ashy feet and braided sandals def cooked up some Molotov dry ice. I have the biggest headache ever rn. Wow.”
