Rapper Azealia Banks’ topless onstage

Scandal-prone rapper Azealia Banks has had a meltdown while headlining Miami Pride and swore at her fans in a shocking topless performance.

Azealia, 30, broke down during the Wynwood Pride Festival concert, according to TMZ.

After performing about four songs, the rapper ranted about whether she was a headliner for the concert.

She also claimed that the promoters were reportedly jerking her around.

The hit maker seemed confused about her set time, especially at three in the morning.

Azealia screamed out: “I’m really not happy to be here.”

She did not blame her fans, according to the outlet, but argued: “I’m trying y’all, but it’s difficult.”

The 212 rapper voiced her frustration once more: “I really don’t wanna f***ing be here.”

At that point, her microphone was cut off, which led Azealia to storm off the stage.

The crowd started booing when they realised the music star was not going to return and finish her set.

Airline meltdown

This is not the first time that Azealia has had a meltdown in front of people.

Back in 2019, she argued with a stewardess before a flight from the UK to Dublin.

She reportedly threw racial slurs during her the incident.

After refusing to board the morning flight to Dublin, Azealia claimed she had been “banned” from the Aer Lingus airline after accusing a flight attendant of “lying,” while reportedly being treated “like a wild animal.”

She continued on social media: “Every time I come to the UK, they always make some s**t with these airline people.

“I was trying to find my passport as I didn’t have the answers and she was staring at me. I said. “Don’t stare at me.’

“She said that I said, ‘Don’t stare at me or I’ll sort you out.’ I’m from NYC, I don’t use that slang.

“They crowded around me like I’m some sort of animal saying, ‘we’re going to have a problem.’”

Azealia concluded: “I get off the plane. I’ve worked too hard in my life to be cornered by some ugly Irish b***h. They are ugly Irish women here.

“Then all these security n***** come over treating me like a wild animal.”

‘Here we go again’

Azealia has also riled up her fanbase in the past more than once.

Back in 2013, she was accused of being homophobic after using a gay slur numerous times while slamming celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

In response, she said: “Here we go again. Everyone pretending to be so shocked and moved by the word f****t.”

“It’s like society is so bored with itself it needs to hold on to these outdated rules of what you can say and cannot say.

“Why has society accepted n****r as a colloquialism … But will not accept f****t’? Everyones always acting like its f**king 1905 in this b***h.”
