It didn't take long for many of her 10,000 followers to clap back at Azealia's gloating after she disappointed thousands of Melbourne fans.
One cheeky follower asked if she was 'rich enough to get an Australian visa?' and another said she should stop 'inconveniencing fans'.

It comes after she left her Aussie fans devastated after cancelling her Melbourne show at the last minute on Saturday night.
The American rapper pulled the plug on her Festival Hall concert just hours before she was due on stage, with her promoter Point Blank Productions blaming 'visa issues'.
In an official statement on Instagram, Point Blank Productions wrote: 'It is with great sadness we announce tonight's Melbourne show with Azealia Banks will not proceed due to Azealia's visa not being granted in time for her performance.'

'The visa has since been granted but flights from Auckland to Melbourne are exhausted to get her to Melbourne in time,' the statement continued.
The promoter also claimed they are 'exploring a new Melbourne date' - but Banks has since furiously insisted there will be no second show.
Reposting her promoter's original statement, Banks wrote: 'The promoters dragged their feet, agreed to provide a number of amenities which were not provided.'

'I have been at the airport since 7am. There will be no rescheduled Melbourne show, and I will be paid in full for [the promoter's] f**k up.'
She added: 'Major apologies to the fans who bought tickets but there will be no rescheduled show. I have s**t to do.'
Banks' upcoming Sydney and Brisbane shows will however go ahead as scheduled.
Melbourne ticket holders have been given the option of receiving a refund, or transferring their ticket to a new Melbourne show that has yet to be announced.
Banks tweeted that she will be 'paid in full' for the cancelled show and told fans it won't be rescheduled as she has 's**t to do'
