Azealia Banks is back to being Azealia Banks. In a string of Instagram Stories, the controversial Harlem rapper professed her support for Kanye West and his meeting with Donald Trump at the White House earlier this week.
“You have to commend Kanye for doing what everyone else is afraid to do,” she wrote. “It’s VERY likely that Donald Trump will be re-elected for a second term. I think we’ve all established that Donald Trump is an asshole but for whatever reason he’s our president.
“And rather than stand on the sidelines and shout and scream at him, and chastise him and seek to blame him for the entirety of American history. SOMEONE needs to have the courage to at least try to make SOMETHING happen.”
While Kanye’s meeting with Trump consisted of a lot of ranting and raving — and 45 not really saying much — Banks thinks he went to the White House with a “level head.”
She added it was “adorable” to see two of the “most hated in the press people” have a conversation.
In a separate post, Banks reminded people she suggested someone should go talk to Trump numerous times.
“I told you guys in countless rants that someone needed to go in there and just talk some shit with trump around a dinner table at mar a lago, play some golf, and be his friend.”
For now, Kanye has definitely stepped up to be Trump’s friend — to what cost, that’s to be determined. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
I just came to the comment section just to say this bitch is a disgusting ugly ass bitch physically and personality wise I always just skip to the comments never read one word from you guys on her and I’m outsssss
Batshit crazy people understand each other
They always say you will never know a person is a fool until they open their mouth and it leaves little doubt and this Big Dummy keeps her mouth open with something dumb coming out !!!!!!!!!!
Japan luvs trump and so do blacks…. Isrealites luv trump… Trump is thick… I will give him the D. I don’t like the tarrifs the Chinese. They are isrealites and work harder than blacks…. They can build civilizations what can us black do? I hate being black . Cleveland stand up and salute to Kanye for going against Esau and the demonic white devils….
Alway knew you was a sellout sodomites! Come out of the closet!
I don’t get all the hate towards him, I’d rather see someone stand up for something than be a sheep. Everyone was up Obama’s ass for one reason and one reason only and didn’t really do much for your country either, he just conducted himself better in the public eye. At least Kanye West may be there to try and talk some sense to Trump about certain things. People like T.I., Daz & Snoop need to shut up and go out and do something if they want to see a change instead of crying about someone else. Try and make the best out of a bad situation! T.I. needs to realise that he’s lucky to even be a free man, and that’s due to the money he had and who he was so race doesn’t always matter, your class holds more worth to these guys than your race does!
I don’t even know where to begin with you. The fact that you don’t understand where the venom towards him is coming from is proof that you yourself are detached from the heart of the issue. First though, this great economy you are enjoying began it’s recovery about 7 years ago during the Obama Administration, there is data on that if you care to research. Now let’s get to this fucking tragedy of a meeting. In order to really see this in all of its unholy glory, separate yourself from your Kanye fandom and look at this objectively. Do you think for one second, Kanye did any research or prep work at all to discuss a topic he doesn’t know a GODDAMNED thing about beforehand? Do you think he sat down with any other subject matter experts to have some ammo/data going into that meeting? Your answer is NO. Why? Because Kanye doesn’t take shit seriously, this is all about him. It’s a facade. A minstrel show. And Trump took the meeting so he could get his dick sucked by an uneducated, famous black male on a national stage. Period. You think those shitbags in the White House didn’t laugh at this dummy after he left? Trump was practically laughing in his face during the meeting. But hey, at least he’s doing something, right? Nevermind the efforts being put forth by scores of people outside the camera lens who are doing REAL work towards the issues. Are you shocked Azealia’s nutso ass commended a meeting between two other nutso motherfuckers? Get out of the fucking clouds.
First of all you didn’t really answer my question, you don’t know either of them personally so you’re only basing your views on what you’re seeing in the media. Our civil rights movements were inspired by what went on in the US. My people have been persecuted for centuries too and I still live in occupied territory so I can understand that side but I can also get that there are people who are trying to get past things like that to improve life for people. Kanye West was never really my cup of tea as far as his personal opinions goes but all I was saying was that whatever he believes in, he isn’t afraid to stand by it. To be honest I couldn’t care less either way as I (thankfully) don’t live in your country. With your lengthy and what you probably perceive to be, a well thought out answer you failed to even realise that there’s a world that exists outside of your country and assume that I’m benefiting from your presidents. I’m just asking a question based off what I’ve seen, I don’t see everything so enlighten people with what you know in a more well structured way before flying off the handle and you might get a more reasonable conversation out of someone! Relax yourself.
Your question WAS answered in my lengthy, well thought out answer I gave to you. I don’t need to know Kanye nor Trump to understand the damage this train wreck can cause. There is a perception that Kanye West is standing for something when he is actually doing the opposite. That his “free thinking” is some revolutionary mechanism when in fact it’s nothing more than the ramblings of a self centered narcissist. He stands for nothing because he doesn’t know what to stand for or how to stand for it. Nor is he willing to do the dirty work, like researching and educating himself. He’s at the center of his own universe and he’s attempting to pull everyone else into his orbit. Much like the man he was there to visit. You CANNOT improve anything for anyone without a plan, preparation, and execution. And your assumption is wrong, I’ve lived outside of the US (across the ocean, not down the stream) for over 10 years of my life as an adult and am well aware of how shit works elsewhere. Bottom line, there is NO EXCUSE for Kanye’s behavior (other than being batshit) no matter how you spin it. As I said before, there are people out there off camera, doing the real work, not for fame or an audience but to legitimately force change where change is needed. That is not Kanye. Perfectly relaxed by the way, thanks for your concern.
Haha okay you’re obviously a bit more switched on than most, I’ll give you that. I just think if he’s making such an ass of himself then maybe people should just shut up and leave him to it. There’s no need for people like Snoop & T.I. to be getting involved in his affairs. I enjoy Daz’ replies though, at least he made a song out of it lol. Let him do what he wants, who cares. I’m coming from a country that doesn’t even have a government at the minute then I see Hillary Clinton getting an honorary degree and talking about peace here, really Hillary? lol It’s a fucked up world we live in pal! Apologies for questioning you, you seem to know what you’re talking about, no harm from my end. Have a good one!
Healthy debate my friend! Stay safe wherever you are, and thanks for the dialogue!
Likewise pal, no worries! Same to you!
This is same girl I made, when Mr. Kanye recorded the Black Album. Mr. Kanye always licky licked his friend in her very special place, then asked me If I wanted. I said, no Mr. Kanye, I will no licky lick your friend in her very special place. Mr. Kanye never cleaned her special place after licking, so why would I lick right after him? Mi no like Mr. Kanye, because he get mad at mi for refusing. What would I tell mi girlfriend, Mr. Kanye? I don’t licky lick her special place, but you want me to licky lick Azealia special place? Mi no like smell either, mi sick, so give me mi money mr. Kanye
T.i. pretending to be an intellectual is adorable.
It was adorable that kanye thinks he found his dad
I dont know What to think.
Kanye used to be my guy. I loved his shit.
But the past 4-5 years Ive started to disslike him more and more.
Even though he’s doing everything in his power to look like the dumbest person out there i dont see him as being stupid.
In his interview with charlamagne earlier this year He said If the opportunity rised He would Go meet with trumps again. And They would discuss chicago.
I Cant believe He went to the white house without doing the research and adressing Chicago around the lunchtable. When He said Bush dont Care about black people. He got the support from the community. But nothing happened. Now he’s using a different approach. Getting hated But Hopefully making a change. It not he’s just a fckin moron.
When azealia banks on your side you know you wrong and also most likely mentally ill. Birds of a feather
Of course she does. Anything to be in the news. What was her last hit record??? Don’t worry I’ll wait..
When was yours?
Wouldn’t sitting down and talking with someone be pro active to helping your cause then blindly screaming nonsense in every direction while achieving nothing?
I don’t get how this could be a bad thing?
Or is everyone mad because Kanye is legit bat shit crazy?
Azealia’s entire “career” consists of the following:
Twitter
Kanye actually made a good amount of sense (minus a few talking points) during his rant to Trump. Was it scatter brained? Absolutely. But I believe he truly cares about a lot of the issues he touched on. What’s infuriating is the passion he showed and when finished Trump just patronizingly replies “That was impressive”! and “You’re such a special guy”, as if Kanye were a child. Trump obviously wasn’t even listening and is only entertaining the idea of this “friendship” because he falsely believes that it will make him appeal to the black community. Kanye really believes that Trump is going to take these issues seriously, and in reality Kanye is nothing more than his token black friend.
