Iggy Azalea was booted off stage in the middle of her performance in Saudi Arabia due to a wardrobe malfunction.

The 33-year-old dazzled the crowd at the Gamers8 festival in a skin-tight bodysuit and belted out a bunch of her hits.

However, in a since-deleted Instagram post, the Australian singer revealed officials weren't happy with one part of her outfit and decided to shut the whole thing down.

It all started after her pants split during her performance.

She wrote: “Saudi Arabia… Wasssssss…. probably the worst possible place to have my pants split & unfortunately I wasn’t permitted to end the show.

“BUT silver lining. The promoters were amazingly kind to me & the PEOPLE who came were the absolute most supportive.”

The star continued by apologizing to the fans who had come to see her show.

“I love you guys this was not what I intended for the show but it’s a memory I’ll have forever & ultimately showed me how kind, loving & supportive people can be while you’re having such an embarrassing moment," she said.

Some of her supporters posted on X saying they were just happy to see her and listen to her new single 'Money Come' for the first time live.

One begged her to return to Saudi Arabia and she said she would love to come back if she's allowed.

In another exchange, she answered a fan's question about why the Saudi officials couldn't just let her change her pants to let her keep performing.

However, she said it might have been her message to the crowd that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

She initially had a blanket over her leg.

“I also said 'ladies make some noise, it’s a woman’s world!” the star explained.

"Apparently that sent the authorities over the edge.

“I’m cool I just didn’t want the fans to be sad or angry at the show organizers cause it wasn’t their control or mine it was the police at the side of stage.”

She added: “It’s not the promoter who put on the show's fault so show them kindness because they are amazing people and we all wanted to continue but were not allowed by authorities because of my pants splitting.”

Saudi Arabia has a strict dress code for women and visitors are told to 'dress modestly' if they don't want any issues with the country's authorities.
