Rapper pulls out of music festivals alleging they wanted her to make 'free Palestine' statements onstage

The "Luxury" singer's lengthy post continued. She alleged that both events threatened to cut her acts if she didn't comply with the requests, and noted that she went ahead and pulled out first because she didn't agree with the demands.

"They're both basically trying to extort me - by insinuating that I need to say I support Palestine or they will drop me from the gig BUT I would much rather drop them and not associate with anything that has cheap group think b------- attached to it."

Still, Banks wasn't finished. 

She continued, "If they want to allow some no-name DJs to bully them into desecrating the nature of this music ecosystem and make ME the issue - whilst there being absolutely no ethical consumption under capitalism. Then that's fine."

"More thinly veiled racism and overt antisemitism from the f------ gays for Hamas."

She then accused people in the media of having outrage over something they know nothing about, adding, "And all of a sudden yall are throwing around words like genocide and Zionist not even knowing the meaning of those words while you drive around in ur teslas and leave comments from your iPhones all built off the backs and the blood of children working in mines from dusk til dawn."

"Kiss my a--," she added. 

"Following her post on X in the early hours of this morning, we can confirm that Azealia Banks has withdrawn from the lineup and will no longer be performing at Boomtown Festival. For clarity, Boomtown does not and will never dictate the personal views and beliefs of performers," a spokesperson stated.
