Azealia Banks has been dropped from the lineup for Rinse FM's Born & Bred Festival, taking place June 4 and 5 in London, after she directed a series of racist tweets at Zayn Malik last night, according to a statement from the festival. The social media storm began when Banks, on Instagram, claimed Zayn was "mood boarding the ****" out of her look. (She added, "I'm not mad about this though. Zayn is a cutie pie.") Later that day, Zayn posted a pair of dismissive tweets, which Banks took as a response to her post. She replied with several racist tweets, including an accusation of tokenism against his former band, One Direction. When Zayn responded, saying his tweets were not directed at Banks, she continued to send racial slurs. (She also claims Zayn gave her phone number to his fans.)

In a statement, Rinse FM, said, “We have decided to cancel Azealia Banks' headline appearance at Rinse Born & Bred. Rinse Born & Bred is a celebration of rave culture and has been created for EVERYONE. We celebrate inclusivity and equality.”

Banks is due in court today in New York for allegedly attacking a nightclub security guard last winter. She says she'll have a "special surprise for the paparazzi."

I think it's a shame that such good music is wasted on someone so nasty as her.
