The singer had a horrific time at the Australian festival and took to Twitter to voice her disappointment.
Looks like rappers are having a hard time going through with their festival performances this year. UK’s Lovebox was recently given a harsh dose by rapper Danny Brown, and Aussie gathering Splendour In The Grass is the next one to come under the radar via Azealia Banks. The singer’s SIG performance was pretty okay-ish and didn’t really live up to her headliner status, and a few minutes before she completed her set, a water bottle was flung in her direction.
The usually loud Azealia responded to a tweet from Brisbane-based radio broadcaster Paul Brown in which he congratulated her on “her First Ever Full Australian Concert” at Splendour In The Grass. Check out how that went down:

Wow, today was quite another interesting one for the career highlights…

Ok, that’s enough arguing on the internet for one day! 😉

Dear Australia, I think I may be responsible for @AZEALIABANKS never coming back to our country. You’re welcome! #NotAHipster #SorryNotSorry
