Azealia Banks flew out of Sydney Airport on Sunday ahead of her postponed Melbourne show that evening.
The American rapper appeared at ease despite the recent controversy and cancellations that have plagued her Australian tour.
The 31-year-old strutted through the terminal with a record in hand and carry-on luggage in tow.

She opted for an on-trend look for her flight, including a long-sleeved red crop top that was worn partially unbuttoned to show off some bustiness.
To this, the singer added a pair of knee-high lace-up leather boots with high heels and a platform sole.
Azealia donned sunglasses for the trip and wore an array of necklaces, as well as a watch and bracelet.

Azealia has added another show in Melbourne after canceling her first gig at the last minute due to visa issues.
She angrily insisted there will be no second show but has since announced she will be performing at The Timber Yard on Sunday night.

The New York native, best known for her 2012 megahit 212, also declined to play in Brisbane on Tuesday night and canceled her set.
The cancellation follows an outburst in 2015 when she made aggressive comments about Australia, calling Aussies “violent” and “belligerent”.
“I’m so sorry guys – actually I’m not sorry – but listen: last time I was in Brisbane and you all threw shit on the stage and almost f***ing punched me in the face with a f***ing bottle Soda or whatever that was,” Banks tweeted this week.
“It was the most racist, demoralizing experience of my frigging life and right now I’m on a really good path.

“I’m too far from home… I’m a beautiful black woman and I’m not going to step in front of an audience of white people to have sh*** thrown at me.” I’m not sorry. I’m not sorry at all.’
The incident Banks is referring to happened at the 2013 Listen Out festival in Melbourne, where a fan threw a beer can at her while she was on stage.
In the comments following the announcement of the new Melbourne show, fans were quick to point out the previous incident and expressed their confusion as to why Banks had added another date.
“Okay, you cancel Brisbane because you got a drink thrown at you in MELBOURNE in 2013, but then you add new dates for a show in Melbourne…?” wrote one user.
Banks tweeted that she was being “paid in full” for the canceled show and told fans it wouldn’t be rescheduled as she had “nothing to do.”
“Girls you realize Melbourne is bottled, not Brisbane,” added another.
Meanwhile, one fan wrote, “I thought you said there’s no postponed show.”
Banks’ performance in 2013 lasted only a few minutes as she decided to cut her set short due to audience behavior.
She was performing her song ATM Jam when a spectator threw a beer can onto the stage, prompting Banks to storm off and interrupt the music.
In a statement at the time, Banks’ management wrote: “Azealia Banks was forced to abandon her set last night at the Listen Out festival in Melbourne on October 5, 2013.

“This was the result of a spectator throwing a full can of beer at her on stage.”
“The incident made Azealia and her stage crew feel unsafe. Banks would like to apologize to fans in the audience whose experience was affected by one person’s behavior,” the statement continued.
Bank’s recent performance in Australia was seen as the end of a disastrous tour after scheduled gigs in Melbourne and Sydney were postponed due to “visa issues”.
The rapper apparently agreed to play Brisbane on the 2022 tour after initially being reluctant if security measures were stepped up, but then backed out, claiming her requests were disregarded.
“After this run, this will be my very last tour of Australia,” she said.
“This place makes me absolutely miserable and I’m too black and beautiful to have a bunch of white people in my face playing games with me about their weak currency.”
