The 31-year-old described the show as one of “the most racist, most demoralising experience of my f*****g life, and right now I’m on a really good track.”

The rapper said “white people” had allegedly thrown items towards her as she was performing.

“I am not sorry at all. Brisbane,” she said.

The concert did go ahead. However, security were placed on notice to confiscate keys, coins, hair brushes, vape pens, and lighters.

“The minute something stupid happens, I’m leaving.”

“This place makes me utterly miserable, and I’m too black and beautiful to have a bunch of white people in my face playing with me over their weak ass currency,” she said.

It is understood ticket holders will be entitled to refunds.
