Azealia Banks performed at Listen Out Festival in Melbourne, Australia this weekend and was not warmly welcomed by all of the concert’s attendees.

The rapper was performing her song “ATM Jam” when an audience member threw a full can of beer onto the stage. While the beverage didn’t strike her, Banks was visibly upset and stormed off the stage after throwing down her microphone.

“Azealia Banks was forced to cut her set short last night at the Listen Out Festival in Melbourne on 5th October 2013,” one of her representatives wrote, according to the Huffington Post.

“This was as a result of a member of the audience throwing a full can on beer at her on stage. The incident made Azealia and her stage crew feel unsafe. Banks would like to apologize to those fans in the audience whose experience was affected by the behavior of one individual.”

Banks also reacted to the incident on Twitter:
