Azealia Banks kicked off festival bill following offensive tweets
Banks will no longer headline London festival Born & Bred.
Azealia Banks has been dropped from London festival Born & Bred, which she was due to headline, following an overnight Twitter rampage.
The series of tweets - which included racial and homophobic slurs - started after she compared Zayn Malik's new 'Like I Would' video to her own work.
"Damn Zayn be mood boarding the fuck of out me," she wrote. "I'm not mad about this though. Zayn is a cutie pie.”
The festival - which will take place from 4th - 5th June at Hagerstown Park in Hackney - responded swiftly this afternoon.
“Rinse FM I Born & Bred is a celebration of rave culture and has been created for EVERYONE,” reads their statement. “We celebrate inclusivity and equality.”
Other acts scheduled to play include ILOVEMAKONNEN, Wiley + Slimzee, Newham Generals + J Cush, Bugzy Malone, Novelist, Crazy Cousinz and Kyla.
