Harlem, New York musician Azealia Banks dissed the likes of Lil’ Kim, K. Michelle, and Diana Ross, in a series of tweets sent yesterday (December 8).
She accused all three of the women of bleaching their skin. In one tweet, Banks referred to Diana Ross as a “bleach queen.”
“Lil Kim’s bleach is off the chain right now. All her knuckles, knees and elbows are looking tight as fuck… K. Michelle’s bleaching looks good as well. That kojic acid gives you a nice yellowish/orange tint,” Azealia Banks wrote in two separate tweets.
Despite her comments about bleaching, Banks did offer praise to Ross. She spoke on her obsession with the singer, who she referred to as the “GOAT.”
“I’ve recently been obsessed with Diana Ross and her career. She is GOAT,” she said.
This doesn’t serve as the first series of artists Banks has called out on Twitter. This year alone, the singer/rapper has feuded with Erykah Badu and Lupe Fiasco on social media.
A screen capture of Banks’ tweets on bleaching, which were deleted, can be found below (via HotNewHipHop).

Miss Ross has never bleached her skin. It is the same light-caramel color that it was in 1967:
1967: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbDbGZEzqmE
2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDvIiWfZeq8
Diana Ross’s skin looked darker on some television shows because they did not have color-accurate film and/or cameras. Depending upon the show, Miss Ross’ skin color could vary greatly.
For example, 1968, with The Supremes and The Temptations:
On The Sullivan Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmjuWG1vNSA
On “TCB”, a few weeks LATER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfGiHMa-6_E
On “GIT:OB”, in 1969: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmAGgd7B9ag
So, ask yourselves, how can Miss Ross’ skin be light-caramel in 1967, then, ebony in 1969, when everyone who’s actually seen it in person, myself included(since the late 1980s), can attest that it’s always been the lighter, as is also true of Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner.
They’re not bleaching, either. Others just don’t apply common sense to what’s before them.
