Azealia Banks is asking for Black media outlets to stop covering her. She criticizes BET, HOT 97 and others for criticizing her opinions and not playing her music.
She references her feud with T.I. as an example of the unbalanced reporting by urban news outlets.
“black media has done the most to damage my brand,” she writes in a post, “when i was threatened with physical violence by TI u all laughed at me!”
Despite her criticism of White people multiple times, including blaming them for the posture of Nicki Minaj’s wax statue, she was on the cover of Playboy in March and says she has received criticism for it.
“hip-hop will be like… oh you talk so much about the white man yet you get naked in his magazine,” she writes. “WELL IT HAPPENS TO BE THAT THE WHITE MAN’S MAGAZINE IS THE ONLY ONE ACTUALLY INVITING ME ANYWHERE TO DO ANYTHING.”
Banks also says that Hip Hop culture has double standards against women.
“Black men are allowed to fuck up, rape people, murder people, have sex with underage people… and hip-hop will still support their shit,” she writes, seemingly referencing Tyga, who reportedly dated Kylie Jenner while she was 17 years old.
“I have a few qualms about life and society and all of a sudden i’m the worst human being in hip-hop…. FUCK ALL THE WAY OUT OF HERE,” she continues. “I’ve never murdered anyone, i’ve never had sex with anyone who was underage, I PAY MY FUCKING TAXES…. like for fucks sake.”
She makes a reference to slavery to say that she has moved beyond those days whether the rest of Black culture has or not.
“I need to just leave the kneegrows in the fields and enjoy my time in the big house!!” she writes. “Seems like that’s what people want me to do anyway.”
For additional Azealia Banks coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
Not even gonna read this article. She stinks. Eve, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Mia X, Trina, Nicki Minaj, Salt & Peppa, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte… All loved and supported. WE DONT LIKE THIS HEFFA! Case closed
Maybe instead of avoiding the issue you can read and see that, no matter what you feel about her music, she makes a fair point. How about you inform yourself instead of judging blindly. Even better you could enjoy a KFC family meal for only $20. Or stay ignorant. Whatever suits you.
Everything she says is true. I’m not a huge fan of Mrs. Banks’ music, but her opinions are always on point. Niggas don’t like to think though and they love disrespecting Black women, so she will be dismissed and cast aside as a dumb hoe, meanwhile they and the Black media outlets they support are the real hoes. White people won’t feel her as much either, because White people hate being called out on their privilege. Azealia needs a real brother in her life who gets this shit, she should call me. I salute you Azealia!
Can she just go one year without tweeting? Does she not realize if she didnt tweet so much and instead just made good music…. she would be known for that.. Her comments lack merit because everything she is criticizing people about… she was the one that started it… usually with that damn twitter. You right, she shouldnt be featured on any music media outlet cuz she doesn’t put out music thats worth reporting… i say this will all due respect. … shutup n rap
this cunt finna get throatfucked real soon, like.
This crazy bitch blacklisted herself with her inability to keep her mouth shut. No one feels sorry for you.
I’m SO beyond fucking sick of this ignorant, uneducated, grossly misinformed, and straight up retarded ass bitch…Smh. Her fucking music is absolute GARBAGE and all of her dumb ass rants on social media never convey one single solitary good point and the ONLY fucking reason she does this stupid ass shit is because these pathetic and desperate ass attempts to get noticed is all this ignorant ass bitch has to fucking hold on to for fucks sake!!!!! Smh…She’s literally the ultimate HATER! She can’t fucking stand to see literally anyone else shine because she NEVER will! Her attitude and outlook on life, and as well as her personality are so fucking disgusting and ugly that all she could and will ever be in life is a miserable, sad, pathetic, and desperate ass lonely fucking dumb cunt….Smh. Mrs. Banks, please go fuck off and die somewhere so you can get some credit for finally doin’ the entire world a favor…Fucking retarded ass cunt. Beat it, the fuck outta here.
100% co-sign. At this point I’m more fed up with these news outlets giving this ignorant fuckup attention at all.
Took the words out of my mouth.
O u mad cause no one buys your shit music? Please next article on her be rip azalea banks.
The chick has valid points about hip hop an black people as whole but her music thus far is invalid an lacks any of the substance that she tweets about… Education is key
i think this time she might be half right. black women do have it harder in entertainment and her point is somewhat valid. it doesn’t change the facts about who she is tho
Now, this bitch is even getting on my nerves.
And that takes A WHOLE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.
Anyone who turns their back on the Asiatic Blackman to toady up to the Caucasoid is indeed a race traitor
Hip-hop doesn’t support black women, there’s a bit of truth to that but instead of complaining why don’t you make music that’s actually dope? Nicki Minaj, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot, MC Lyte, and Lil Kim were all black last time I checked and they all managed to have pretty successful careers in Hip-Hop, even Tink has a nice buzz (another black woman). Whining, pissing, and moaning and playing the “unfairly treated black woman” isn’t going to get you anywhere. So take your whiny ass in the studio, make quality music, and stop popping shit on Twitter then maybe people would take you seriously.
You naming women from the past to justify the present. Present barely has that number of rap women being “successful” altogether in the past 5 years, only Nicki & Iggy. And what you’re asking her to do is conform (get back to work) just to be heard which goes against the grain of freedom of speech. So end of the day I can’t take you seriously with convoluted knowledge you just kicked.
How was my knowledge convoluted? Because I said make better music and stop complaining? Because it’s OBVIOUSLY not working. It’s not conforming by getting in the studio and proving your talent, that’s what an artist is supposed to do. Not write essays on Twitter in an attempt to get attention and play victim. Take responsibility for the things you’ve said in the past and get in the studio and make music that’s so dope to the point where people will have no choice but to fuck with it. And what does it matter if I brought up artists from the past? I was naming them by proving that a black women can make it in Hip-hop by being talented and making the right moves. So don’t get mad when I challenge Azealia’s “views”, just like you said it’s free speech right? Exactly. Dumbass
Wale J. Cole Drake Kendrick Support Black women sometimes. Black women haven’t made much quality music recently Hip hop is downgrading as a whole Azealia banks is an example of how low the famous people that are black and female have to aim for black men have compete with drake lil wayne jay z j cole. nicki minaj is butt but her boy friend isnt that great either the generations born in the 70s and 80s of famous people overall suck
whats this bitch retarded? gimme back my 16$
stop covering you? bet!!
So while I appreciate your candor most of the time…this is just fucking funny..have you not learned this is all entertainment’ even your serious issues…you’re smart enough to p read between the lines but not smart enough to know you’re the rat in the maze…open your third eye…you are allowing all this to happen…
This is one miserable bitch!
Race traitor indeed
This stupid racist again… Thinks she’s the oracle on everything.
She got it right you race traitor
She is a race traitor* Licks the Caucasoid’s boots
This race traitor should be executed for licking the Caucasoid’s boots like this.
Lol this ni99er admits her people’s inferiority to the white man
Like the race traitor she is. Oh and get out of here you Caucasoid guest on this site
Because you’re some confused Caucasoid culture vulture who seems confused about himself being both racist and on a hip hop site. Your kind always steal from us, go worship your god Macklemore.
Black man stays winning
So its black ppl and white ppl fault that she ugly and her music sucks?????
-confused black guy
-confused white guy
hip hop doesn’t “support” anyone. It is a meritocracy. Rappers go on about shitty things and fail, too. Banks is just another woman bitching that she doesn’t get enough praise for her mediocre work and wants to make it about gender. Hey lady, stop constantly burning bridges and get off your Tumblr account and start making some good music.
She hates everyone I thought was just white men!
White Man’s magazine aka PlayBoy. Shut up you dumb bitch. Your music trash.
Good for you Banks, you’re learning!
She is a danger to herself and others she schizophrenic, her role is to be in a psych ward deepthroating the doctors..everything she says is cancer, lill Kim and foxy Brown,.who isn’t even hot made it, Nick I Minoan a sellout made it not by complaining, targeting race and social groups, and posing nude. I hate this fugly Bitch, anything she says damages herself and others, and soon Itll be actions, she needs to be isolated so people don’t suffer this ignorance, self entitlement and arrogance, makes any feminist look bad, makes everyone and herself look bad, someone fucking care lmao
I STOPPED AT “LIL KIM AND FOXY BROWN, WHO AINT EVEN HOT” GTFOH
OH NO! NOT HER AGAIN… I THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD FOR GOOD. SMH
