Azealia Banks Festival Pullout and Palestine Pressure Claims

Deep Dive Podcast Show

Azealia Banks, a 34-year-old singer, canceled her performances at London's Maiden Voyage festival and Boomtown in Hampshire. Banks alleges that festival promoters pressured her to publicly support Palestine and threatened to remove her from the lineup if she refused. She claims this was an attempt at extortion and "thinly veiled racism," asserting her unwillingness to participate in "performative bullshit." The article notes that festival organizers deny these claims. Additionally, the article includes various website elements such as advertisements, subscription offers, and login prompts, which are part of the original source's web page.
