Lately, Azealia Banks has been famous more because of her questionable takes than her music. But her recent outburst looks like a step too far, even for those who tolerate her.
This Harlem rapper provided media with some colourful headlines, such as “Azealia Banks Calls Kanye West’ Useless Garbage’, Says Doja Cat Makes Better Music”, “Azealia Banks Calls Nicki Minaj’ Fucking Stupid’”, “Azealia Banks Suggests Grimes Has “Some Psychosexual Obsession” With Her”, “Azealia Banks Continues Her Beyoncé Rant, ‘We Like White Yoncé’”, and “Azealia Banks & Ryder Ripps’ Sex Tape NFT Sells For $17K”.
It looks like s got to Eminem’s entry on her list of opinions nobody asked for. On her recent Instagram rant, she started by bashing Jay-Z, though, but swiftly moved to discuss Eminem. With an admirable vigour, she accused him of being white, being homophobic, writing a song about killing his ex-wife and inspiring school shooters. Basically, concludes Banks, we should blame Eminem for everything, regardless. It’s incredible how a black woman who paints herself as an independent thinker repeats accusations conservatives have been throwing at Slim Shady for over two decades.
She has wasted several Instagram stories sharing her rant:
Judging by the fact that Azealia’s mood swings take her from blackmouthing a celebrity to offering them a collab in the space of a week, we can expect a sequel to this story.
On the other hand, in 2018, Azealia Banks pleaded guilty in a court case about her biting a bouncer’s breast outside a Manhattan nightclub in a blind rage. She had to complete an anger management course to avoid prison. So we probably should be relieved that Azealia’s temper tantrums are now confined to social media spaces, and she doesn’t cause bodily harm to people anymore.
