Azealia Banks is currently on trial facing assault and harassment charges for a 2015 incident at New York’s Up&Down nightclub where she allegedly bit the breast of bouncer Christine Soares after being removed from the club.
Prosecutors in the case being tried in Manhattan Criminal Court want to use the Harlem MC’s controversial past against her, including a 2009 domestic dispute involving her sister, according to the New York Daily News.
“This is a case where she slashed her sister in the neck, the arm and the hand with a box cutter,” said Assistant DA Shea Donato.
Because of her age at the time, Banks got special treatment despite pleading guilty to attempted assault.
Donato also wants to use another 2015 incident involving Banks attacking a nightclub bouncer in Los Angeles, though charges were eventually dismissed, and another altercation with actor Russell Crowe.
With jury selection taking place this coming Wednesday, Donato could use Banks’ history to hit her credibility if Judge Ann Scherzer allows it. Banks is expected to testify in her own defense for the case.
It’s been about a year since Banks dropped her Slay Z mixtape and she’s more recently released a new track “Crown” last month.
Hopefully this Kunt see’s some time behind bars
Who’s idea was it to make this chick famous?
Can’t we just put thtchs bir in fuckin psych ward and not hear about her ever again ? Would be greatly appreciated.
Damn, this bitch is crazy. I’ma need to break up with her.
Y the fuck is this black magic physco bitch always in the stories the bitch is irrelevant
Sounds as tho she is bi polar but a good lawyer will not let her past be brought up it appears she has no convictions and those charges want be used against her
That will def be brought up, it paints the picture of who she really is…her lies and deceit cannot cover up facts about her past
No surprise there…she is an absolute maniac…shes prob down with the nation of islam
…. Bitch is crazy
Wow!!! There are actually songs referenced in this article!!! Im totally taken aback?!?!?!?! Im gonna go listen and come back with honest critique….LMAO…this song better be GREAT all the press this chick be getting?!?! If this song isn’t any good, im gone come back and Roast this clown!!!
Why doesn’t she get help though for mental issues? She’s a danger to send society. Lock her up until she reforms
Now I see why they don’t ever talk about her music…nothing special!!! Its not bad!!! She needs to try and be a talk show host….I don’t think rapping is going to pan out for her.
if hip hop dx could stop posting shit about this bitch that would be great
No redeeming qualities at all
Don’t you mean “It might come back to slash her”?
if she wasn’t causing drama, doing violent things, or saying rude things then MAYBE people would like her music. but she just so happens to be a bitch.
