Azealia Banks took shots at Nicki Minaj on Twitter after the Pinkprint rapper feuded with Miley Cyrus and squashed her beef with Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards, which was held Sunday (August 30).
“It’s so funny to wake up and see nicki and Miley or nicki and taylor fighting when you ALL make basic ass music,” Banks writes. “it’s a ki !!!”
“ITS A CONTEST OF THE BASICS,” she continues.
Elsewhere, Banks shares her thoughts on Cyrus, who hosted the awards.
“She gets that she has no culture no swag no nothing,” she says. “She understands the inferiority of being white and she makes fun of herself. She’s making fun of dumb white bitches…. (I think ???)”
Banks also points to what she says are the underlying racial implications for Minaj having to compete in a predominantly white music industry.
“Using her as an example of a greater issue bc it’s perfect example of the effect Americanism has on blackness and black female identity,” Banks says. “How they treat us. How we feel about it, what we do to cope/go against it. They’re all parts of a MUCH bigger issue. Big issues are made up of MILLIONS of tiny issues.”
When someone suggests that Minaj and Banks should work together, she agrees.
“I can help her make dope songs so her shit doesn’t sound like Katy perry leftovers because her being black means she deserves Tailormade custom African princess styles… not left over cracker swag,” she says. “We should but she be trying her hardest to be on the same level with these white bitches I just be like (sad emoji) like don’t u get that these white girls are trying their hardest to be you? Why are u tryna be them? Idgi but I know she knows she’s better than them and IT MAKES ME SO MAD cause it sets a standard for basicness that other black girls follow!! not cool !!!”
She is asked why she is criticizing Minaj so severely when, in the past, Banks has defended her. Banks reflects on Minaj’s feud with Lil Kim.
“The cycle!” she says. “Life must feed on life. She drank Kim’s blood, I will drink hers, & there will be sum1 new 2 drink mine.”
Banks has also questioned the wax figure that Madame Tussauds made to honor Minaj. Because the sculpture is crouching on all fours, she saw it as disrespectful to the rapper’s accomplishments.
“That’s not nice,” she said. “I don’t feel good about that.”
i hate to say this but on this one: she is right. Nicki makes basic crap but she has skills. Look at Monster
I’ve always said that Minaj has skills but she continues to make basic radio friendly doo doo.
She hates herself…. Sad.
This racist bitch needs to fall off the map and go be somebody’s bottom bitch in the hood. she wishes she has have the skills of Nicki. hating ass bitch FOH
She tweets just as much or more than
Meek Mill.
Im so tired of this shit.. any time a white person shines black people find away to hate.. “oh, Miley was wearing Jordans.. micheal jordan is black.. she wouldve never won without those shoes… cant u see shes stealing from us??” ” My shit was better but I had Adidas on so … ” lol foh your shit is whack bitch and you sound like a white girl too who the f u kiddin
You are very delusional.
Seek help.
Am I? Really? Nobody can win over a black artist without them having a tantrum.. or, it being because they’re white.. as if Black people are the only ones with talent.. foh its ridiculous
C’mon man…it’s obvious she either works for DX, is an informant for DX with some kind of promotional agreement, or has some kind of dirt on the people at DX. It’s just so obvious that they’re trying to promote her. It’s wack. You can tell the artists that are in DX’s ‘favor’ and the ones that aren’t. I guess journalistic integrity is too much to ask for. When blame is passed out on why Hip-Hop culture was decimated, these websites will take a large share. They misrepresent Hip-Hop, and in a deceptive way. It’d be one thing if they were just portraying what is happening, but they aren’t. They’re pushing their own agenda and glorifying negativity to a point that falls into the realm of sleazy and irresponsible.
Here we go again, HHDX putting up these bullshit news stories. I’m actually starting to think Azalea Skanks is paying HHDX to promote her because she gets absolutely no time or promotion from any other website. The only time Skanks gets mentioned is for something she said on Twitter. Her album came and went and nobody cares. Why are her opinions relevant? Because she’s an obvious racist n the racist remarks spewing out of her mouth n fingers will give HHDX sum ratings?? Let this bitch die already.
She be on some real shit. It might be a little unfocused and seemingly contradictory but it’s real regardless. I love this chick.
YES
hhdx really posted all those tweets….
