Azealia Banks responded to Katy Perry celebrating 1 billion views for her “Dark Horse” video. The singer said on Twitter yesterday (June 9) she was “heading back to the trap house,” and Banks wrote, “the trap house though?” with a sad face.
The rapper continued by asking “Why do all the white girls wanna be wiggers?? I really don’t get it.”
Last year, she said, “The whole trend of white girls appropriating Black culture was so corny.” The rapper has also called out Kendrick Lamar and T.I. on Twitter.

Obviously she was refering to it because of the reason juicy j was in it , lowkey thanking him for having the “balls” to do a song with her knowing what his fans would say about him, and the,”fingers” from what he wrote down lyric wise, then thats when the reference trap house cam
Wtf are you talking about. She said thanks to your EYE Balls & fingers for clicking on her youtube video with their fingers & watching them with their eye balls ya fucking dumbass there was an eyes emoji before she wrote balls.
damn gotta admit she look fine as hell in playboy
SHe looks sick and diseased.
LOL ur joking right? She looked like she has aids.
without referencing azealia define what a person who has aids looks like? i didn’t realize you can tell if someone had aids just by looking at them…
why does banks want to be white so badly?
her entire image and look is ripping off white people and non-black culture.
fucking wig-wearing, ballerina-dressing, white-dude-fucking phony. she gets all her white friends on tumblr sucking up to her and apologizing she forgets her entire image is taken from various white cultures.
So damn true. She’s racist against whites trying to do hiphop, but turns right around and dates white men, makes EDM/Elecronica records, wears wigs to look like white girls, and constantly wears blue contact lenses trying to look like German white girls. She’s so damn confused and has no idea how to deal with it. So she gets on twitter and makes a few racist comments and gets a buzz, all the while sucking a white guys dick. She’s trying desperately to be white, but deep down is a bitter bitter black girl.
This bitch love the attention,last time I checked out her tracks they was whack as shit
This will get a lot of heat because its Banks saying it, but she is right though honestly. White girls or young white people really think its cool to be black. Or to be a stereotypical black.
I’m white and I agree with. I dress like I’m
Black i talk like I’m black at times, but here’s the thing what all these other young white people don’t do is study the culture. I take my time to study the history of a culture and use it. If your going to adopt the culture you also have to adopt the struggles and history.
This B is racist. There is nothing wrong with White People in Hip Hop, it’s a multi-ethnic culture. Ask KRS-One.
What is wack is these white pop artists with no talent trying to fit in Hip Hop, it’s wack. They make wack music. To blame it on “White People” is ignorant and racists. Azealia Banks 2 minutes is already up.
Couldn’t have said it better
Right on point!
Missing the point…its about using ignorant shit to sound cool…how the fuck is that racist?…you ever been to a real trap house? Not no shit to buy your seeded up dime bag…you kids these days are so out of touch. It’s horribly sad
Ummmmm since when so all white girls want to be black??? Maybe some white 13 year old boys try and act black, but I would hardly say all white girls want to be black… :S
99% of white girls don’t want to be “black” everyone knows that. Banks is a racist and can’t get over the fact that non blacks are being succesful in hiphop while she sits in her shitty 1 bedroom apt trying to figure out which ramen noodles shes gonna eat. I’d be bitter to if I was broke. She’s a poor, broke racist.
Azealia “I Prefer White Boys” Banks needs to shut the fuxx up.
Why do you keep posting shit from this bitch aint No one care!
I’m a black girl and I totally disagree with her she’s just a hater
Bitch what is she hating on? Her music is 10x as better, authentic, real, artistic, originality driven than Katy blue printed ass music. So tell me, what is Banks hating on….Black Girl…
She’s an ignorant racist. She continually proves that to be the case.
I see where Azealia is coming from (regardless of what race, she is attracted to/dates ’cause who cares). Black is “in” nowadays in white ppl’s (mainly the culture vulture ones) eyes and they constantly think it’s cool to use our terminology/style/etc., and not knowing what the hell it means or the reason just to seem cool or “edgy” *gives the side eye*. I like Katy Perry and all, but girl take several seats with this one!
So what do you say about the music Banks makes? She’s dating a white guy and tries to sound “white” in her records and tries to sound european in most of her songs. She’s being a culture vulture on EDM/Electronica culture is she not? The same argument can be made about her. You’re obviously black and are picking sides because of race, Banks is a racist. According to her unless you’re black you can’t appreciate hiphop or try to use your skills to be a rapper if you’re actually good; well unless ur black of course. Banks is a hater, especially towards whites. She only gets any buzz off her racist comments. And it’s not “your terminology,” once you incorporate that into music it becomes a part of something bigger. You can’t control that.
sell like perry then she can talk,until then she is the perfect meaning of the word irrelevant in the music industry….that white girl like she calls her can easily end her career…..lets not forget people michael jackson did thriller!!!!…he did thriller…..
Ah yes, Trap should be a black-only term, like “THUG”. Add another self-respecting term to your race’s personal pile. Things are movin’ on up.
I wish Azealia banks would die. As in her buzz or her comments being relevant. She is a garbage “artist” that has to make everything about race because her “talent” doesn’t stand out at all.
I love this bitch
I can tell you are all kids or idiots…don’t even know what racism is…smh
Haha, I feel her. But she dating a white boy though. SMH I Cant’t
Banks is horrible, as is anyone who supports her. She deserves to be on the street. All she does is spread hate and racism. And it should read white girls wanna be niggas, not wiggers. A wigger is a white person. So she is stupid as well. Also, if you wanna be against people for using the word trap, aim it at those who didn’t grow up in it. Not just people with a particular pigment. Go back to sleep permanently.
i know this is going to catch some flack but whatever…. i just think it’s hilarious that if rappers like nas, jay, or kendrick, to name a few, had said this to someone like iggy or macklemore you guys would agree wholeheartedly… hell you guys freak the fuck out anytime they win something calling them “culture vultures” (rightfully so both artists suck but im digressing)…. yet azealia says it about katy perry and you guys side with katy perry instead… why? cuz banks said shed rather date white dudes? hahahaha funniest shit i have seen all day! when some of you guys do the exact same thing by either bashing black women or praising white women… see the double standard?
On sum real shit Banks is a racist and hates anyone who’s non white and makes money off of hiphop/r&b music. She’s quick to call out white people when they do hiphop, but whats hilarious and what makes her a true racist and hypocrite is has to do with the type of music SHE makes. Has anyone actually listened to her music? It’s completely european EDM/Electronica based which everyone knows has been a part of the rave/techno/house scene which has been dominated by whites for decades. She’s a complete hypocrite when she says she hates when white people try to do hiphop or try to steal from the culture, but she turns right around and wants to date white guys and make EDM music while trying to fit in with “white” culture. She’s a racist. And it comes out when she sees other’s being succesful in hiphop culture that she feels should only be for blacks. Those days are longggg over. Hiphop transcends all cultures, whether white or black, indian or asian, and everyone should take anything she says about others with a grain of salt. Banks is a true racist, nothing more. She makes no valid points.
I think you should know that EDM like rock n roll was started by black people. Do some research before speaking on that. I agree with you on her being a hypocrite since she only date white guys.
@jay who gives a fuck who it was created by?
Trap house, has nothing to do with race, a trap house is where all the drug are sold and even manufactured, (for all you who did get it.)
So if a white person said this they’d be called racist and shunned.. But no one bats an eye when an african american says some stupid shit like this? I understand why there will never be change.
azealia banks sucks. katy perry sucks. this article sucks.
@jdee Yes, I am black (and proud of it I might add), and? You make it seem like just because she’s black and I’m black I’m gonna automatically agree, in this case I do because I see her point. Look at this scenario, do you think if Katy Perry was really at a trap house she would want to be there? Fuck no! Hell, I wouldn’t even want to be there! And yes, I know what kind of music she samples and uses, and so fuckin’ what?! If the shoe was on the other foot, you’ll be clapping your hands in agreement. When somebody has an opinion, whether you want to hear it or not it’s just their OPINION! What I said was my fuckin’ opinion, which you didn’t read thoroughly because if you did, you would’ve seen, that I don’t care if she dates white guys or not, at least she knows she’s who she is and she has a right to stand for something/or her opinion that she believes in.
White people can RUN trap houses.
Im just finding out about this little exchange, so to speak. But I’d just like to say I dont usually agree with much Banks says or her reasoning behind it, but here I do def understand her questioning Katys choice of words. Don’t get me wrong, I do also get that Perry was being funny, BUT with everything that’s going on in the world for blacks and whites alike we all should be more aware of our wording and actions period… especially if you have a platform that is visible to millions of people. I tell my 17 year old brother all day if you think about what you say before you say it you can save yourself a lot of unnecessary grief and possibly someone else some unintended negativity or pain(what doesn’t offend/hurt you may just offend/hurt someone else).
Azealia Banks actively supports and defends her BFF ultra-white girl Lana Del Rey – who is constantly appropriating other cultures (native Indian in ‘Ride video’, Hispanic Latina gang culture in ‘Tropico’; marrying a black guy in ‘National Anthem’ just to be provocative) and uses black slang frequently in her lyrics – yet she takes offense at Katy Perry using the term ‘trap house’? Smh. Grow up. All I ever see this chick in the news for is badmouthing other people to stay relevant…tho, I guess when you’re a one hit wonder that’s what you gotta resort to.
She had/has 1 hit? That’s one hit more than I gave her credit for.
