The New York-based 212 rapper’s Australian and New Zealand tour has been plagued by scandal, with last-minute show cancellations, social media outbursts and wildly varied sets.
Her touring commitments are now over – and with the star having vowed never to visit the nation’s shores again, she left Australia a stinging review.
“So this will be my last time touring Australia,” Banks wrote on her Instagram account. “Y’all white people down here are broke and racist LMAO.”
She also singled out joint tour promoters Bizarro and Point Productions, who she claimed are “now trying to cite all these stupid things as reasons not to pay me a dime”.
