Azealia Banks never seems to be apologetic for her words, until now. She made a Facebook post Friday to apologize to her fans for using the gay slur “faggot” in her interactions with people.
She recently caught criticism when she confronted former One Direction singer Zayn Malik on Twitter. She called him a “faggot” in one of her tweets.
“Ok, i’m never saying the word F****T ever again,” she says now on Facebook. “The amount of people that get hurt when i use the word vs. the amount of people i’ve said it to are just not worth it. Honestly… This isn’t a cop out, its just me realizing that words hurt. and while i may be immune to every word and be thicker skinned than most, it doesn’t mean that i get to go around treating people with the same toughness that made my skin so thick. Because, that IS how people get thick skin… by being subjected to name calling/belittlement/abuse and its not fair. Not fair to my fans, not fair to my peers but most importantly, Not fair to myself. By using those words i paint a picture of myself that isn’t the true me.”
The Harlem, New York rapper’s Twitter account was suspended after coming at the newfound solo artist. She is still in Twitter jail at the time of publication.
Banks temporarily shut down her Twitter account in March, but was quickly back to basics to promote her Slay Z mixtape.

I need this c.unt to throat my D.
Might as well be reporting on ANY random person off the street
This controversial issue aside, I gotta say man I love this chick! Real ride or die chick. Pretty face too
She only fucks old rich white men so that’s that.
Yawn.
Too little too late. seriously why does anyone care? She’s not the voice of an apressed nation, shes barely a coherent voice full stop. (Had a crackhead aunt who spookily made about as much sense as she does) Did anyone buy Slay? Or is this acting out BS she does every time she wants to be back in the press, actually working? Is it actually generating sales?
Fuck that. Fuck her. Fuck her thoughts. And fuck giving her more press.
Stop spitting and learn to swallow some of that pride…..
Good i wont have to go cry to all my LGBT buddies anymore about boycotting this evil woman cant believe she would diss me and my dick chugging anal rimming pals 🙁
We love you Azealia!
