Azealia Banks & Universal Music To Part Ways

    Azealia Banks says she is about to part ways with Universal.

    “IM ABOUT TO GET OUT OF MY DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS THE BIG SURPRISE,” she says in a tweet today (July 10). 

    Banks revealed unhappiness with her Universal deal several times during her tenure with the company, including a series of January 2014 posts. 

    “I REALLY should have signed with Sony,” Banks said in a Twitter update. “I would literally give anything to be on XL right now…I’m tired of having to consult a group of old white guys about my black girl craft. they don’t even know what they’re listening for or to…I’m literally begging to be dropped from Universal…Universal needs to just hand me over to another label who knows what to do with me.”

    Banks also made it known that she has new music that she feels needs to be heard. 

    “My fans really need some new music,” she said at the time. “I’ve been gratefully riding off of mixtape fumes for the past two years, but I’m more ready than ever.”

    2. Bout to get out of your deal? Sorry but when signed to a major nobody “gets out” of their deal…you got dropped honey

      1. You’d have a point, but since there is documentation (referenced in this article no less) that she has been utterly disrespecting her current label for 6 months and is just now being ‘dropped’, i’m inclined to agree with her getting out of her deal.

        She’s getting exactly what she wants. That said, i dont like her music.

    3. “I’m tired of having to consult a group of old white guys about my black girl craft”.

      You’re right…They should have consulted black guys to tell her that her music is trash. She’s a PR nightmare.

    4. Azealia is nice on the mic! Jimmy Ivone actually signed her but he left to work for Apple!

      These racist white muthafuckas dont want a black Azealia Banks, they want a White Iggy Azealia.

      L Jamar was right!

      Anyway, I know for sure somebody is going to pick her up, she got talent, unlike a lot of these wack ass hoes.

      1. your out your mind YO she got no talent because regardless of a label if you put out hot music that will make those white rich people money they would put it out..you fucking pussy
