Jhene Aiko was missed by fans during the Def Jam special 30th anniversary concert in Brooklyn this week.
According to XXL, the singer was listed to perform with other Def Jam artists like Ja Rule, Fabolous, Big Sean and 2 Chainz, but a scuffle with her entourage and an event employee led to her not performing at the Barclays Center.
"The Worst" singer explained the incident to her fans on Instagram after she was asked about her no-show.
"@ladiidestiny unfortunately me and my camp were told to "get the f*** out" by "workers" while I was waiting to go on stage, ....after this "worker" (male) physically assaulted a member of my management (female) ....we had to leave due to the disrespect and hostile environment," she said.
She also explained that she was discriminated at the event because of her gender.
"If there's one thing I can't rock with, it's disrespect.... if me and my band members were any of the rappers that were performing there, we would have never been talked to or treated in such a way. I'm sorry that I was unable to perform for you tonight.... hope to see you soon."
Do you think Jhene was treated differently because she isn't a rapper?
