R&B artist Azealia Banks in a war of words with Australian tour promotor following tour

Azealia Banks is under fire following a chaotic few weeks down under.

Last-minute show cancellations, shortened set times and even social media posts by the star herself claiming she will never step foot on the nation’s shores again.

Now the promoter behind the tour has come out to defend itself.

The company has slammed the artist as the most “disgraceful” client they’ve ever had to deal with.

Bizzarro was responsible for two shows as part of the outspoken performer’s Australia and New Zealand tour. It follows a deal finalised between the two parties back in May.

Physically and mentally draining

In a scathing statement, the company says the past fortnight has been its most “physically and mentally draining” ever.

Banks is known as a force to be reckoned with. Bizarro admits it thought this reputation was over exaggerated and sensationalised by the media.

“The lack of care she shows to her team, the people she works with and her fans was truly disappointing to see,” it says.

Bizzaro claims Banks failed to arrive at any event in a timely manner. It also alleges the star willingly posted inaccurate and disrespectful content online and had an overall lack of care and appreciation for her fans.

“Throughout this process we weren’t given any help whatsoever from Azealia or her team, being told directly by Azealia that it was our job to convince people she would perform.”

It follows Banks accusing the company of publicly ruin her reputation to get out of paying her.

In a post online, the R&B artist says she flew “all the way across the world [and left] empty handed”.

“In all this attempt to assassinate my character there’s no mention of my mother fucking money, where is the money bitch, where the cash at?” she wrote on Instagram.

Bizarro has labeled these claims as “slanderous” and “entirely false”.
