Jhene won't tolerate disrespect or a hostile environment.
Jhene Aiko says there’s at least one thing she won’t rock with and that’s disrespect.
Aiko recently responded to a fan on Instagram who asked why she wasn’t at Barclays Center in Brooklyn for the Def Jam Recordings 30th Anniversary Concert event last week (October 16).
“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. 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!”
It’s unclear who the “workers” that Aiko references were working for.
We’ve reached out to Def Jam about the incident, but haven’t received a comment at press time.
