'Saggy white men' .... The Stone Roses' front man Ian Brown, centre, was allegedly almost in a fist fight with Azealia Banks.
Rapper Azealia Banks says she almost got into a fist fight with The Stone Roses' frontman Ian Brown at Melbourne's Future Music Festival and later made claims that the British rock band was trying to sabotage her set in Adelaide.
The American has launched a Twitter tirade aimed at the '80s Manchester mega-band's road crew, calling them "stupid road hags" and threatened to quit her set yesterday.
She had been in a stoush with The Stone Roses since March 10, when she claimed that Ian Brown "charged" her just before she went on to perform Firestarter with The Prodigy.

"I'm more rock and roll than he is. I would've won... It was a pretty classic moment though.... Legendary if you ask me."
Banks had earlier told her Twitter followers that performing with The Prodigy was her priority throughout the tour, saying: "This is a VERY important moment for me. The Prodigy's music is the soundtrack to this crazy adolescence of mine."
The Stone Roses had apologised that day to Banks for what must have been troubles with her sound set-up in Sydney the day before.
A tweeted Instagram from rapper Azealia Banks of a text message Rita Oral sent her.
But it seemed the dispute was not yet over with Banks tweeting during the Adelaide leg of the Future tour: "Lol these stupid road hags are at the back of my stage trying to sabotage AGAIN... not going on until they're off.
"I waited an hour. The promoter refused to make the same guys who messed up my show the other day move... So I'm leaving...."
Banks did not make the stage in Adelaide last night, according to reports.

Four hours later she tweeted: "This weekend was CRAZYYYY.. Almost had a fist fight with Ian Brown, then hopped on stage with The Prodigy 15 minutes later...."
The Mirror reported that she had also tweeted (but since deleted the Twitter feed): "Wow! I must really f**king be a superstar. You've got an established band trying to sabotage my lil rap b***h shine.
"A bunch of old white men trying to bully a young black girl… F**k those old saggy white n***as stone roses. I wish them nothing but excrement and death."
Banks' portfolio of fights at Future also included a catty rant at British singer Rita Ora while travelling from Melbourne to Adelaide, with: "Lol Rita Ora is so thirsty. She climbed over the wall of my dancers dressing room to snap photos.
"She's been TRYING IT on this tour man..... She's mad she's Rihanna's understudy."
She even posted a text message purportedly from Ora, in which the former Eurovision contestant claimed that she had tried to be nice to Banks but "ill see ur ass at the motherf***** concert (sic)".
Wishing to have the last word with her fans, Banks tweeted: "Shut up Rita Oral.
"Ever since I arrived on this tour Rita's been going out of her way to try and intimidate me.
"Taking all these candids of me when I wasn't looking, then posting and deleting them like a weak b***."
Future music organisers have been contacted for comment.
