Azealia Banks Goes In On Beyonce & “Lemonade,” Says She Sold Her Soul

    Leave it to Azealia Banks to be heavy-handed with two polar opposite opinions on the same subject.

    When Beyonce broke the Home Box Office and spilled into the e-streets with the debut of her sixth studio album, Lemonade, the controversial multi-talent, who recently channeled her husband’s rap glory years with her Slay-Z mixtape, was right there with the Beyhive singing its praises.

    But then Piers Morgan wrote an op-ed for DailyMailOnline accusing the megastar singer of conveniently taking advantage of the racial and social hot button issues currently plaguing the country, going as far as calling her a “born-again black woman” and declaring she exploited Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin’s mothers for their inclusion in the visual album.

    Which, in turn, brewed Banks’ half-empty glass of the refreshing drink, causing her to lash out.

    “I’ve yet to hear Beyoncé speak on these issues,” she decried, noting how many of Beyonce’s core fanbase may not be able to afford the asking price for tickets during the Formation World Tour.

    “Queens are supposed to lead, they don’t step on the spirits of the girls who come after them then to just try and take that same spirit,” Banks continued. “You can’t sell your soul then try to get it back LOL. That’s not how it works. You keep crying over a man and perpetuating that sad black female sufferance and it’s Not good for what we’re trying to accomplish here.”

    Despite the smattering of critiques, Beyonce is poised to take the top spot on the Billboard 200 with upwards of 600,000 of sales in the first week. It will be her sixth straight #1 album.

    They say you can’t knock the hustle but Azealia Banks always marches to her own big, big beat.

    1. Azaealia is right. Beyonce has YET to speak on any social justice issues. But Ya’ll dont want to hear that. Beyonce and Jay-z are like the Royal Couple to black hood gypsies. You talk crap about them and the black gypsies go W.I.L.D. Wake up and see that Beyonce is using Travyon and Mike Brown to sell her B.S CD. Her Song FORMATION was NO dedicated to Black Lives Matter because her lyrics dont contain anything that relates to Black Lives Matter or the issues that America has right now. Beyonce screams NEG=R=RR=O NOSE and HOT SAUCE and black gypsies go absolutely crazy….. we live in a world full of imbeciles.

    2. Oh no, Ms Banks doesn’t run with the crowd! She speaks how she feels and here her feelings are right on point.
      This Beyoncé album is just another part of the brand. She’s now putting out a small censored part of her personal shit with Jay Z who needs her to keep him in the media after his massive Tidal bellyflop.
      I’m getting more and more shocked by Ms Banks – an artist and public figure who doesn’t give a damn about what music industry puppets of all shades think of her.
      Way to go Ms Banks!

      1. Hmmm…I do agree Beyonce needs to finally do some interviews. I don’t think this has anything to with Jay Z though.

      2. @IWillDie4U

        Yes, now hop on over to an R&B site to state your opinion because this has NOTHING to do with hip hop and you don’t either.

      4. How isnt Beyonce, wife of Jay Z, collaborator with Just Blaze and Kendrick Lamar and Azealia Banks not hip-hop? kick rocks backpacker

      5. @IWillDie4U
        Really??? First off your name is on some r&b sucka tip, and it’s bc of people like you, hip hops been tarnished with the likes of singing and ish…Go play with your Mattel autotune equipment and record vocals with your Justine Timberlake action figures while dressed in a tutu shaking your hips like Shakira, talking about hips don’t lie.

    3. I still don’t know who this chick is. But now I’m a have to start sleeping with all the lights on cause her eyebrows scare me. Ol’ fake dragon ball z super saiyan eyebrows having ass.

      1. No. If you’re talking about the intro on Forever disc 2, they say “A lot of niggaz trying to take hip-hop and make that shit R&B, rap and bullshit.”

        Pretty much what hip pop is.

    5. Does this bird do anything except talk shit? I mean seriously every time I hear about her it’s a Twitter rant or her talking shit.. Does she make music anymore because she is never in the news for it..

    6. Diddy please hire the South Side Compton Crips again so they can wack this chick!!!!!! She’s so ignorant and annoying

    7. Let’s stop giving this broad attention, that she thrives on. She’s a front, especially how she fell back when Sarah Pailin pulled her card. Azealia, please go to therapy. You are a waste of black skin, a waste of the female species.

      1. Another keyboard warrior.. Go up to someone tomorrow irl and say that to them. I dare you, you coward. Get your p.ussy head punched in.

      3. @ truth, aka “Fruit”. I heard you the first time f.aggot, lmao. And I can guarantee you I’m much bigger than you and would crack your fucking skull wide open, no problem. Pipsqueak.

    8. First off Beyoncé ain’t hip hop. Next, you are a fool if you think twerking makes a female feminine. Next, the social issues going on today have been going on through out Beyonce’s nearly 20 year
      career, and she hasn’t sang about it before. She is doing because it is in fashion to. Kendrick Lamar and other artists over the past few years have addressed these issues, they got great acclaim for it and Beyoncé jumps on their coat tails. Next, a great entertainer like MJ, bitch please. She falls all the time on stage because she can’t dance with heels. Her concert asthetics are completely ripped off of what Tina Turner did back in the 80’s. Next, all Beyoncé has sold her whole career to black women is materialism and leaving a man if he isn’t rich. Next, Beyoncé doesn’t write songs or music, and she has a very average voice, proven when she butchered Ella Fitzgerald songs on the movie Cadillac Records. Beyoncé is just a product sold to suburban females to justify there materialism and there inability to hold down a relationship with a good man. So really stop selling this bullshit that she is some meaningful artist. Beyonce’s music is what it is a product sold to feeble minded American females

    9. The Banks haters are getting old. You ain’t heard her music because you listening to that ignorant ass trap and drill music. Most of y’all probably agree with what Banks says, but you have your head too far stuck up your ass

    10. Why does anybody pay any attention to anything she does, she doesn’t have any good music, only time she makes news is when she is talking about somebody else!!!!

    11. I fucking Hate this Bitch I really wish Hip Hop DX would ignore her she does nothing but talk shit about everyone I wish he fucking UGLY ass would disappear already.

      1. She’s like the Kim Kardashian of the hip hop/R&B community. Famous for doing absolutely nothing. Twitter fingers having c unt

    12. Mansa Musa the III (Selassie Prince of Judah - Bantu Biko Lives On - All Hail The Black Gods) says:

      Beyonce is weird. Yeah – she’s super weird. How are you black women yet you have such deep culture vulture tendencies. Lol. Beyonce is a culture vulture against her own people….. Black women/queens should be at the fore front of culture not behind it. That’s why Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry etc. rip off twerking and trap beats. Cause there isn’t that black queen who’s showing em how to appropaite these very black and distinct sub-cultures properly to make a statement against the appropiation of our cultures or where these things (twerking, dabbing, Black Lives Matter). Beyonce, Azealia Banks and co. only have themselves to blame because they are these black women with some sort of influence on young girls aren’t able to keep up with what we as black youth are interested in and shit. Someone in the comments section below me properly pointed out that Bey aint really bout these social issues and commentary life from a genuine place because she been at the black off the line.
