Harlem musician/actress Azealia Banks has never been one to hold her tongue, and she further proved that by lashing out at Joe Budden and Charlamagne Tha God this week.
Banks appeared to be frustrated at the This Year Was Dope/Trash co-hosts for their recent criticism of Nicki Minaj. The Love Beats Rhymes star began her slander by taking aim at “Burden” and “his very dry typical rap nigga story.”
While banging the gavel on the best and worst artists of 2017 for Revolt’s year-end special, both Budden and Charlamagne agreed that Minaj was one of the “trash” artists of the year.
Budden even went so far as to state that Minaj “is high on the trash list.”
Banks didn’t stand for the slander, posting a long rant in screenshot form.
“Joe wanted to be memphis bleek so bad That when it seemed like he could be jay-z’s rap side kick he gave up on the dream all together,” Azealia Banks wrote on social media. “But it SERIOUSLY makes me sick to my stomach to see @cthagod and joe burden get pleasure from tearing this black woman down because they are LEGIT LYING TO THEMSELVES.. every comparison they make is a FARCE.. not cardio not remus are fucking with nicki on her off day.”
With her commentary on social media, Banks continued to defend not only Minaj, but female rappers in general.
“It’s like all these talking heads keep talking down on women in rap like female rappers are pets and not people. Female rap is not a fucking novelty,” she wrote.
Despite Banks’ swift defense of Minaj, the two were once at odds. Just last year, Banks criticized the Queens rapper over both her body and her bars.
“Decrease the butt just a bit (I’ve seen your butt make some really expensive dresses look really cheap) and STOP WEARING SPANDEX AS AN OUTFIT FOR FUCKS SAKE. Also stop calling yourself the queen of rap.” Azealia Banks wrote in a December 2016 Facebook post.
The two made amends relatively recently, with Banks apologizing for the “catty shit” in a publicized direct message conversation with Minaj.
Joe Budden has yet to respond directly to Banks’ slander.
but Rapsody was at the top of all the dope lists they made….
Why is this News? this girl words has no weight in Hip Hop
Joe Budden trashed Nicki because shes trash.
Joe Budden praised Rapsody cause she actually makes good rap music.
Why this Banks hoodrat bitching?
Female rap is a fucking joke and this garbage bitch should keep her fucking mouth shut. No one knows who she is besides her lies and nonsense social media. Bitch can go in the cabinet and eat the pills. No one cares about this dumb bitch
Really? Go to the cabinet and eat the pills? That is one of the most ignorant/rude/inappropriate things I’ve read in a while. Come back when you have something of substance to talk about.
Nicki is overrated trash pop artist. Plus she’s supporting her scumbag paedophile brother, which makes her a complete loser.
She isn’t supporting him at all stop trying to make that an excuse to get at her.She only does pop as endorsement and if you’re going to call someone “trash” be more specific because nothing about her is trash.Her brother has nothing to do with her everyone is responsible for their own actions she can’t control his brain.
She makes my tiny willy all stiff. What are these feelings, dad?
Drop those pants bitchboi
This chick is bipolar af. Can social media do a universal ban on her?
She needs to be banned from existence.
Who is she anyway and where in the hell she come from?Who is her handler? Cause this bipolar bitch is not Hip Hop.
If you reading this check out some real lyrical, intelligent an fine femcees like Sammus, Rhapsody, Little Simz, Nitty Scott and Jean Grae… Happy Kwanzaa y’all
Check out Reverie and Snow Tha Product and Nat The Lionesss and Gavlyn. They all female emcees from Los Angeles.
Ummmmm…Can someone tell me exactly why she matters???
Says the THOT that poses basicly naked on am album cover pretty gimmicky to me..
Sorry my little pecker just got so excited. I don’t know what came over me. Besides dad.
THE REAL HIP HOP CULTURE IS DEAD….THIS SHIT THEY CALL HIP HOP IS A CLONE………REST IN POWER HIP HOP 1979-1998
thank you for stating what everyone forgot
My wife tells me not to “worry too much” about my size, and she’s “just friends” with the football team. That’s normal, right?
Stop using my name caulk sucker. Piece of shit.
Both of you stop. Thieves!
All three of you, plough my wife. Please!
Will the real Djf please stand up?
Lmao here this clowns the most pathetic human being ive ever seen my 7 year. Old niece is smarter
I have such low self-esteem I make fun of myself in a comment section. The last shred of confidence I had was shattered when my 7 year old niece bullied me over Christmas.
someone must be really paying these people to take down nicki. how was she trash? all her collaborations were dope. rely ma sucks ass, her song with lil kim bombed. why is no one talking about that
This chick is delusional. So just because someone criticizes a recording artist who just HAPPENS to be a female, they’re shitting on ALL women artists? GTFOH.. Nicki’s career has been in the fridge the last year or 2, and thats all Joe and Charlemagne said. They didnt take anything away from her previous accomplishments or her near-decade career (nothing to sneeze at), just said she’s been off lately. Besides, wasnt this chick talking shit about Nicki to Remy not long ago, and now she’s on her clit?!!
Lol Bitch had to make it a gender issue. Budden critized Migos, Lil Yalchy, and the rest of them.
Bipolar ass bitch was beefing with Nicki a few weeks ago and now she’s acting like an embarrassing groupie defending her, in a few months when the doctors switch up her meds she’ll be dissing Minaj again, hopefully they prescribe the crazy irrelevant hoe something that prevents her from talking
As crazy as she is, she made some valid points. Never thought I’d agree with her crazy ass.
What did she say that was valid? Nikki has made good music but this year was trash… Their critics they’re suppose to give their opinion
I don’t even have one friend.
I bet you dont sitting here on hhdx obsessing over and trying to troll someone who doesnt even give a fuck if your dead or alive much like anyone else
We only have each other, self.
Another fake beef
Banks is a Nicki minaj STAN. Work on your music n stop worrying about budden and c. They’re gossip guys..that’s what they do. Banks had a promising career now she just garbage
This bi+ch again, lets just ignore her. (ad still smash thou)
Banks is a queen!
How the hell has Nicki been trash this year? MotorSport, Plain Jane, Krippy Kush were FIRE verses, and that’s just in the last few months.
That’s not fair I’d put budden right up there with all the top female emcees. He got a Tampax nuzzled inside his assholes at all times. And dj akademiks is clearly gay.
Wow
Ps. I need my stuff back from my mom
Wow..opinions seem to be a problem for done people. Budden didn’t just talk about Nikki. She must be deaf . Banks only focus on the female thing. She got problems
Is she still an artist? I thought she was a twitter personality who leaves off and on for being randomly racist.
She is again correct. Rap music in the past 10 – 15 years has gotten really pathetic. The men behave like women and they are always hating on Nicki Minaj but Nicki Minaj out raps her male features on almost every song she has been on but the males hate on her all the time. Nicki needs to come out with more songs and longer verses if anything. She is only on bits of a song where she should have more bars. I listen to Nicki Minaj on songs wanting to hear more of Nicki and less of everyone else.
