Azealia Banks has launched a GoFundMe campaign to sue actor Russell Crowe, who she says spit on her at a Las Vegas hotel in October 2016. Over the past three days, Banks has raised just over $2,000 out of the $100,000 goal.
In the fundraiser’s description, the colorful Harlem rapper writes, “Russell Crowe spit on me at a party in 2016 and denied it, had a group of people gaslight me causing irreparable damage to my acting career and my reputation as well as loads of emotional damage.”
Banks promises to donate the money raised through the campaign to charities dedicated to cleaning up oceans.
“This isn’t about a big pay day for me, it’s about letting the world know that black women are victims to the same sort of disgusting violence men in Hollywood deal out to women and it’s important to send a message that black women also deserve justice and will get justice in these situations,” she continues.
“Crowe called me a nigger, choked me, and spat on me… if I were a white singer he wouldn’t have even thought about laying a finger on me. So many things like this happen in the entertainment industry and it’s time that ALL these perpetrators get reprimanded so they STOP this violent behavior.”
Banks’ battery case against Crowe was dropped in December 2016.
According to the DA’s office, Crowe’s actions at the time were “justified to prevent the imminent violence threatened by Banks” and that his alleged spitting was “incidental to preventing more serious threatened violence.”
Banks is readying her next album, Fantasea II, which is expected to arrive sometime this year. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Ahead of its release, Banks shared a visual for “Anna Wintour.”

What a dispicable creep this thing is
Is the money for suing crowe or for the oceans? Hard to believe either party because they both have a history of being crazy. It’s more likely that she was threatening to cut someone and getting forcefully removed from the party when she went to attack than her version where Russell just went up to her calling her the N word and spitting on her. The DA dropped the charges against a man who has pled guilty to assault in the past and has a history of outbursts. That means she’s trash as eff lol
Stay on your fucking meds seriously talk strong black females when your the fucking typical black female counting the days till her payday she didnt earn go choke on some dicks
Somebody needs to throw this bitch off a building
Fuck this bitch and her album. Nobody’s gonna buy it anyway.
You don’t need money to sue someone lawyers will take the case if they think they can win and get 1/3 of the case so she is scaming
She needs the money to sue but she is going to put it all towards cleaning the ocean? What part of that makes sense?
I was looking for a worthy charity to donate a few thousand dollars too and this really moved me, an irrelevant bipolar singer that had one hit single didn’t like it when her drunken attempt to intimidate and threaten a room full of people backfired, I for one won’t stand for this so I’ll donate $3,000 so she can..put it towards cleaning the ocean? What the fuck did I just read?
Wait- she had a hit single?
She should have made it to clean the oceans for real, but 100 grand would not be enough.
I’m certain she caused a ruckus at Crowe’s residence in order to incite media attention. If he wasn’t famous, and she didn’t seek to gain anything, she wouldn’t have come to the party in the first place with RZA. Trick!
How do I donate to Russell Crow instead? Someone start a “Stop this Crazy Thot” fund.
Crazy bitch. I don’t believe a word of her allegations.
How much i need to donate to spit her on the face? This bish face starting to really annoy me, i keep seeing this trash here too often considering her lack of career.
….this bitch is always on some bullshit. Really? You wanna jump into court 2 years after? How has this bitch not been put into psych ward against her will?. If the internet wasn’t a thing this shit wouldn’t happen. I hate that any, and everyone has a public platform. Use to be you had talent which got the spot light pointed at you. Now… that lights always on, and anybody with a phone can go in front of it. I legit didn’t know this idiot did music for the longest time. I just thought she was a troll that happened to have a lot of followers. She needs to go into porn so dudes can’t shove a cock in her loud mouth. That way when her mouth gets her views it’s more entertaining than annoying.
Daaaang!
If you support this woman in any way, you are scum.
If the lawsuit was for the film Nice Guys I would donate at least a c-note
I’d support a gofundme if it resulted in getting this bitch to shut the fuck up.
Hahahhaha! Woooo!
This idiot makes black women look bad!!! Judging how she acts, she deserved anything he done to her!
I hate Mrs. Banks.. She’s such a drama queen, and I think she’s a whore.. Sorry..
Kill the noice
I feel pretty confident whatever acts are committed against this women has nothing to do with the colour of her skin and everything to do with the fact she’s a shitty person
