After Friday night’s performance, Azalea, 33, took to social media to apologize to her fans for the concert mishap.
"Saudi Arabia please know to everyone at the show tonight… I LOVE YOU!!! And I’m soooooo sorry I wasn’t allowed to finish my show," she began on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"It’s not the promoter who put on the shows fault so show them kindness because they are amazing people and we all wanted to continue but were not allowed by authorities because of my pants splitting."
The "Fancy" rapper additionally shared a video clip of her wardrobe malfunction on Instagram, as her leather pants are seen ripping as she bent her knees during her performance.

"…this was not what I intended for the show but it’s a memory I’ll have forever & ultimately showed me how kind, loving & supportive people can be while you’re having such an embarrassing moment," she added on Instagram.
Meanwhile, on X, a fan asked why she wasn’t allowed to "just change her pants" after the wardrobe malfunction.
Azalea responded, "I did but I also said ‘Ladies make some noise, it’s a woman’s world!’ And apparently that sent the authorities over the edge. Lol"

"A year ago I was willing to walk away from music because I was tired of the negative energy it attracted," the rapper tweeted. "But what I've learned is that even when I'm minding my business, y'all gonna be negative AND nosey. So if I can't have peace, neither can you. I'm coming back. Cry about it."
