Azealia Banks headed to Instagram on Wednesday (January 31) to celebrate her new $1 million record deal with E1 Entertainment. The post, which was accompanied by audio of Banks, reads: “GOT A MILLION DOLLAR DEAL. IM BACK ON THE BLOCK. JUST SIGNED THE CONTRACT.”
In the caption, she wrote, “I’m now officially signed to E1 Entertainment!! I HAVE A HOME AGAIN… I’m crying. The Industry left me out on the street like a stray dog and now I have shelter again. This is really making me cry I’m so happy and grateful and thankful for all of this and I promise I’m going to make the KUNTS so proud. Thank you guys so freaking much you don’t know how much this means to me @eone_music @williamrobillardcole.”
In a statement to HipHopDX, E1 Entertainment’s William Robillard Cole said, “Azealia Banks is an incredible artist who we are proud and excited to welcome to Entertainment one. I decided to sign her because her talent and music is undeniably brilliant. New music soon!”
Banks, who’s routinely in the headlines more often for her puzzling behavior than her music, later expressed gratitude for her fans via Instagram and explained how her “broken household” affected her.
“I come from a very broken household and When I was a little girl all I wanted was to be loved,” she wrote in the caption. “I’ve been all around the world but I swear I’ve never felt more understood, cared for and welcome than I have with you all. YOU are the loves of my life. I don’t need anyone else but my kunts. Thank you for everything.”
Ahead of the announcement, Banks revealed she’s working on her forthcoming full-length project, Fantasea II: The Second Wave, and wanted the first official single, “Anna Wintour,” to feature Nicki Minaj.
Fantasea II: The Second Wave is expected to arrive in March.
Bleached her skin white then signed a million dollar contract. The epitome of selling your soul to the devil.
This will be the deal to end Alan Grunblatts career.
She’s trolling she didn’t even get 6 figures Koch/E1 aint giving out deals like that
Even if she did sign for a million, she’s not getting all of that money anyway.
In a statement to HipHopDX, E1 Entertainment’s William Robillard Cole said…….This should instead say “IN A STATEMENT TO GRAVEYARD NUMBER 1, GRAVEYARD NUMBER 2’S WILLIAM ROBILLARD COLE SAID…..
Real talk though, is anybody really checking for Azealia Banks music?? She seems to troll more than actually doing music.
One of her youtube vids has 147 million views, while the othera have an average of 10 mil +….so people are checking for her…yall always assume that just because yall not checking for an artist nobody else is….and you took time to read the headline about her, clicked on it, the proceeded to comment on a post about her…she signed a million dollar deal, why dont you do something with your life while continuing not checking for her…..oh yeah, she is a super talented artists, ahead of her time
Dog, are you talking about a music video from 7 years ago? Is that how we gauge how hot she is? Why not look at the vide she released a year ago which has 11k views?
How do you know? You checked for her dog?
How do you know, you checked for her dog?
I still don’t know any of her songs and don’t know anybody who does…seriously!!
Congratulations. Now hopefully she keeps her fuckin gabber shut.
Even if she DID get a milli (I highly doubt it), E1 is a trash label.
Shake Ya Ass, Shut Yo Mouth! That’s what Azealia should do
You are very clever. A very bright boy. That’s you.
That’s Koch from back in the day. She didn’t get no 1 Million from them. lol
Who?? & Why??
Very talented artist
It’s a blight on society that people are giving this POS money to make music and that people support this witch.
I wonder how many industry Harvey Weinsteins she had to fuck to make this possible?
