Things have gone from bad to worse for pop star Iggy Azalea.
After facing criticism from LGBT groups over several since-deleted tweets that the singer posted in 2011 and 2012 about people of color and gays, Azalea took to Twitter on Monday to announce the cancellation of her performance at Pittsburgh’s LGBT Pride event scheduled for June 13th.
“Our board voted last week to not march in the Pittsburgh Pride parade, due to the insensitive choice of Iggy Azalea as headliner,” Vanessa Davis, head of the Pittsburgh chapter of the youth-advocacy group Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network told the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette.

The tweets, resurfaced in screenshots, included messages such as “wondered why my butt felt like it was about to grow 2 legs, flip me off, & walk away. then i remembered i played soccer yesterday w 5 d–e b—-es,” “When guys whisper in each others ears I always think its kinda homo,” and “Just saw 5 black men get arrested out the front of popeyes. #damn #stereotypes.”
