But listen, last time I was in Brisbane and y\u2019all threw s*** on the stage and damn near almost f***ing hit me in the face with a f***ing bottle of soda or whatever that s*** was,\u201d she said in a video message shared with fans, per <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/12\/14\/azealia-banks-cancels-show-in-brisbane-australia\/\">the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was the most like racist, most f***ing demoralizing experience of my f***ing life and right now I\u2019m on a really good track.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Banks continued, saying she had \u201cenough emotional intelligence to kind of erase room for error before it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a beautiful black woman and I am not going to get in front of some audience of white people for them to be throwing s*** at me,\u201d she continued. \u201cI am so not sorry.
