During the Summer, Azealia Banks had exciting news to share and announced that she and K. Michelle would be heading out on a 20-date concert tour later this year. However, shortly after, it was reported that the R&B vocalist had pulled out, resulting in cancellation. Banks tweeted back then: "Hey k*nts! I just got an email from @kmichelle team and she unfortunately unavailable this fall so she is canceling our tour. Unfortunate news as this was my first U.S. tour. But my team will work on an alternative plan to try and keep some of the dates in order!".

After some subtweets were exchanged no bigger beef happened online between the two, although Banks did end up tweeting a fan about K. Michelle saying: "I don't deal well with having my time wasted," hinting at an alleged unprofessionalism for canceling the joint tour favoring other unrelated commitments.

So, less than a month after the original trek was cancelled, on Aug. 25, Banks announced a new round of 10 live shows after expressing her desire to tour her country for the first time and go out to see her fans.

Today, and after already skipping the first date last month, it was officially announced that the new tour would be canceled again citing a full schedule leaving her with no time to show up at the shows. Check the previously revealed poster with the dates and the full statement below:

In September, Banks also made news when she became involved in a confrontation with a fellow passenger and the flight crew while attempting to exit a Delta Air Lines flight that had just landed in Los Angeles. According to witnesses, Banks was attempting to squeeze by others passengers to disembark the plane more quickly, while a French man was blocking her path. Banks reacted by spitting in the man's face, punching him, and clawing at his shirt. Subsequently, a flight attendant stepped in and demanded that Banks calm down. This resulted in Banks forcefully arguing with the flight attendant, in which she at one point called the Delta employee a "****ing f*ggot". A co-pilot of the plane also became involved, and Banks was informed that the police had been alerted and were in route to the scene. Banks then hastily departed the plane before police arrived, but police caught up with her in the baggage claim area. No charges have been filed, but Delta Airlines was said to be investigating the incident.

Tour cancellations are never cool nor hip. I hope her fans can recover from this loss, and that Azealia can amend this rupture.
