Azealia Banks’ wynwood pride gig was a dry ice disaster

[BUtterfield 8 41,281]

Azealia Banks cut short her disastrous headlining set at Miami’s Wynwood Pride Music Festival early Saturday morning, drawing the ire of attendees before a dramatic, mic-tossing exit.

Video from the performance shows Banks — who reportedly showed up onstage over two hours after the scheduled set time — repeatedly telling concertgoers “I’m really not happy to be here” and “I really don’t wanna ****ing be here.” At that point, Banks had only performed a handful of songs.

Eventually, following more complaints aimed at organizers (and not the audience), her microphone was cut off. Banks then tossed the mic and, after starting to walk offstage while the audience booed, flipped middle fingers at the frustrated audience. A drink was thrown, security intervened, and concert ended, just four songs after it started.

In a series of tweets after the meltdown, Banks explained the culprit behind her rough night: Dry ice. “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 barely stand,” she explained.

Azealia never fails to be a mess 

Hopefully her LGBTQ+ "fans" will finally come to their senses...

Isn't dry ice just... CO2? There are no known allergies to that  Although in a closed space too much of the dry ice vapor can be hazardous, I don't think that was the issue there

I was there lol, it was a total mess. Although I do think some of the issues could've been put on the promoters she honestly should own up to her own mistakes that night. But still felt blessed to be in the vicinity of my favorite artist

I’ve watched a few different videos from the performance and the only problem looks like it’s her damn attitude 

[holy scheisse 22,114]
