“So this will be my last time touring Australia,” Banks wrote on her Instagram account. “Y’all white people down here are broke and racist LMAO.”

She also singled out joint tour promoters Bizarro and Point Productions, who she claimed are “now trying to cite all these stupid things as reasons not to pay me a dime”.

“I flew all the way across the world to go home empty-handed. Sweet. I will not be back,” she wrote.

Bizarro and Point Productions were not immediately available for comment when contacted by reporters.

Banks also called out Australia’s exchange rate compared to US currency, writing that one Australian dollar equals 61 US cents. She had previously labelled the Australian dollar a “third-world currency”.

Australia owes its boom to China. It should think twice about moving on

“Honestly, I’m not trying to rag on Australia even more than I have been, but this little 61 cents to the dollar … I’d spend a lot more money trying to sue these Australian promoters for their little Australian pennies than I would if you just count it as charity,” Banks said on Instagram.

“The ever-charitable, generous queen Azealia Banks. I’m not just a charity for f*****’ Australia. I hope y’all enjoyed the shows. I had fun – I did, I enjoyed myself. [But] I’m not coming back down here.”

Problems with the Azealia Banks tour began with the first show, at Auckland’s Spark Arena, as fans who’d paid more than NZ$90 (US$57) for tickets fumed when her headlining set turned out to be just five songs long.

The next day, her planned Melbourne concert was postponed mere hours before the doors were set to open, with Banks slamming her promoters – who in turn blamed visa issues for her last-minute inability to make it from New Zealand into Australia.

Fans were left upset when Banks insisted the date wouldn’t be rescheduled, telling them: “I have s*** to do”.

In fact, the concert did get rescheduled, and went ahead on Sunday night – although Banks arrived onstage almost an hour late and played for just 37 minutes.

On December 11, Banks performed to a near-sell-out crowd at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre and delivered what was definitively the show of the tour: arriving onstage a mere half-hour late, she performed an hour-long, 15-song set, busting out all the cult classic hits she’s released over the past decade to a rapturous reception.

But a few days later, the wheels came off again, as Banks announced on the morning of her Brisbane show that it would not be going ahead.

The reason? She blamed the behaviour of crowds she’d played in the past, telling fans that last time she was in the city she’d been hit by a can while performing.

“I am a beautiful black woman and I am not going to get in front of some audience of white people for them to be throwing s*** at me,” she said.

It was unclear why Banks had left it to the morning of the concert to enact the Brisbane ban, given her last show in the city was back in 2013.

The promoters and the venue assured fans the show would, indeed, be going ahead – before finally confirming it was cancelled just a couple of hours before doors were due to open.

For Asians in Australia, a collective memory of racial trauma

As ticket holders complained on social media, Banks let it be known the feeling was mutual – calling this her Australian farewell tour, because the country makes her “utterly miserable”.

It’s not the first time Banks has had a difficult time during an Australian tour. She slammed Aussie crowds after performing at Byron Bay’s Splendour in the Grass back in 2015.

“In all actuality, you guys are terrible crowds to play for,” she tweeted at the time.

“You’re violent and belligerent and I simply will not put my safety at risk. I would’ve walked offstage had someone thrown something.”

And headlining the Listen Out Festival in 2013, she cut short several sets due to crowd behaviour – performing for just 90 seconds at the Melbourne date.
