Azealia Banks has been dropped as the headline act for Rinse: Born & Bred Festival after attacking Zayn, UK rap music and threatening to bring “arms” to her performance. Following the US rapper‘s earlier Twitter rant – where she slammed UK rap music as a “disgrace” – the festival confirmed she would no longer be headlining the June 5 night of the two-day festival in Hackney, London next month.
They said in an official statement: “”We have decided to cancel Azealia Bank’s headline appearance at Rinse | Born & Bred Festival.Rinse | Born & Bred Festival is a celebration of rave culture and has been created for EVERYONE. We celebrate inclusivity and equality.”
A rep for the festival confirmed to Mirror Celeb that they were currently “working on” a replacement headliner.
While Zayn didn’t directly respond to Azealia, he did tweet: “No lies… I see you reaching but I don’t care.”
