Azealia Banks Responds To Can-Gate, Says Can Didn’t Hit Her On Stage & She Still Got Paid….

Another day, another cut-short performance for Azealia Banks.  Find out what the Harlem chick is now saying after a can of beer got tossed on stage and made her walk off ASAP….

Just 90 seconds into her performance at this weekend’s ListenOutFestival in Australia, Ms. Banks threw her mic down and walked off the stage.  Apparently, a can of beer had been tossed at her during her performance of "ATM Jam" and she wasn’t having that ish.

The "212" chick responded herself via Twitter saying:

The can definitely didn’t hit me…..and I definitely still got paid. More press please, and thank you. -Xx AB

Next time. I’m bringing a tennis racket on stage.

And her rep put out a statement explaining the situation saying:

“Azealia Banks was forced to cut her set short last night at the Listen Out Festival in Melbourne on 5th October 2013. This was as a result of a member of the audience throwing a full can on beer at her on stage. The incident made Azealia and her stage crew feel unsafe. Banks would like to apologize to those fans in the audience whose experience was affected by the behavior of one individual.”

Was Azealia right to step off stage at a festival where it’s inevitable fans will be drunk and may do a stupid thing or two?  She’s not the first performer to get something thrown on stage, that’s why you have security handle that person.

And this also wasn’t the first time she walked off stage.  Or the second.  Just last weekend, the rapstress stormed off the stage 15 minutes into her set at Listen Out in Sydney.  And she cut her concert short after 25 minutes at Australia’s Splendour In The Grass last year because she said the festival’s sound equipment wasn’t working properly.
