American rapper Azealia Banks has said she will never tour Australia again after repeat racist attacks.
The musician, 31, made the revelation after cancelling a gig in Brisbane yesterday (13 December) just hours before it was due to take place.
She later took to Instagram to explain why she decided to pull out of her performance - which is now cancelled - at the eleventh hour.
"I'm so sorry you guys - actually I'm not sorry - but listen: last time I was in Brisbane and y'all 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," Banks said.

She continued: "That was the most racist, most demoralising experience of my f***ing life and right now I'm on a really good track.
"I am too far away from home… I 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. I am so not sorry.
"I am not sorry at all."
This cancellation is not the first on the tour, with other performances in Melbourne and Sydney postponed because of 'visa issues'.

The rapper claimed that she had only agreed to perform in Brisbane again if her security measures were increased, however, she said that her request was not honoured.
"After this run, this will be my very last time touring Australia," she said.
"This place makes me utterly miserable and I'm too black and beautiful to have a bunch of white people in my face playing with me over their weak ass currency."
Her decision to stop playing in the country comes after Australian 'fans' threw items at her as she performed onstage in 2013.
She proceeded to describe them as 'violent and belligerent'.

Following a 90-second performance at the Listen Out Festival in Melbourne in 2013, the rapper apologised to fans who lost out after she walked off stage.
She did so after being hit by a beer can.
The musician said she was sorry for those 'whose experience was affected by the behaviour of one individual'.
Those in attendance of the walked-out performance were given automatic refunds by the rapper's production company.

"Point Productions would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused, this has been well out of our control," they said in a statement.
