The rapper, clad in an outfit that revealed her bare breasts, reportedly stormed off the stage after complaining about the event staffs’ alleged unprofessionalism.

“For the last good, like, month and a half, I’ve just been being fucked with. I’ve been being fucked around with, you know? Set time’s been move and like, ‘Oh, you’re headlining.

She later took to Twitter to blame the event’s promoters for a number of issues, calling the music festival “way too ghetto,” People reports. Banks since appears to have been suspended from Twitter.

In her Twitter thread, Banks reportedly went on to say event staff ignored her requests for no dry ice, adding that she is “EXTREMELY allergic to it,” and that the clouds from the dry ice “began to make me lightheaded to a point I could “barely stand.”

She also slammed the show’s security, and called the event “an absolute display of how Hispanic citizens in south Florida make poor attempts at selfish cash grabs by exploiting young undocumented gay boys for nightlife entertainment.”

“I should have done something at West Palm Beach Pride because somebody tío with the ashy feet and braided sandals def cooked up some Molotov dry ice. I have the biggest headache ever rn. Wow,” Banks concluded.
