Pete Ford reacts to Azealia Banks blasting ‘racist’ Australia

American rapper Azealia Banks has cancelled her Brisbane and Melbourne shows and vowed never to return to Australia.

Prior to cancelling her Brisbane show hours before it was due to take place, the rapper took to Instagram to share a previous bad experience she had on stage in the city.

“Ya’ll threw shit on the stage and damn near almost f—ing hit me in the face with a f—ing bottle of soda or whatever that shit was,” she said in a video.

“That was the most racist, most demoralising experience of my f–ing life.”

Entertainment reporter Peter Ford says it’s “a bad look for us”.

“She says she’s been assigned to a slave-like contract to perform here in Australia,” he told 3AW Breakfast.
