Azealia Banks started trending on Twitter over the weekend after she posted a series of alarming messages to her Instagram Stories.
On Sunday (August 9), the often controversial rapper flirted with suicide, writing, “Yea, I think I’m done here. This pandemic, extreme lack of social interaction, no intimacy, combined with constant public ridicule is making life harder than its worth.”
She added, “I’m not begging for attention or asking for sympathy/empathy……I’m just ready to go. Peacefully of course. My soul is tired. I’m ready to go. I will document my last times and release a film for you all to finally understand me, from my perspective. I will try my best to finish the project I promised beforehand. With whatever strength left.”
Over the past couple of weeks, Banks’ behavior has appeared more erratic than usual. After claiming she had knowledge Kanye West was a closeted homosexual, she shaved her head bald during an Instagram Live session. Her comments arrived after Ye went on an anti-abortion rant during his first presidential campaign rally in South Carolina last month. She also claimed to have sex with famed comedian Dave Chappelle in May.
Azealia Banks Claims To Know Kanye West Is Hiding His Homosexuality, Then Shaves Her Head
Of course, Banks’ recent posts triggered the alarm bell for her fans and sent Twitter into a frenzy. Several posts begged people to show Banks the same compassion Kanye has been shown amid his most recent bipolar episode.
Suicidal ideation is nothing to joke about. If you or anyone you know is struggling with their mental health, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, call the National Suicide Prevention hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
Banks’ fans are urging people to uplift her during what appears to be a difficult time for her. Check out some of the reactions below.
Anything for some attention.
I do think this chick needs help. She has some issues. We’ve seen it time and time again. However, to say it in social media sounds like a cry out for help.
If she wasnt doing it for attention, she wouldnt have to announce it. If you really want to commit suicide, just do it. This is just more attention whoring, like we’re used to from her.
She sucks as a human being. We won’t miss her.
I hope she gets it together and seeks the help she needs. Suicide is no fucking joke, and it’s hitting this generation harder than any of those before it. That aside, I fucking hate Kanye but let me say this. People remember a time when Kanye wasn’t what he is now. AB doesn’t have that Same kind of relationship with people. She’s a troll who has done nothing but go after others for her own selfish reasons with no care of how it affects anybody but her. She deserves compassion but this idea that Kanye is somehow insulated from criticism while AB is not is fucking ridiculous. Kanye’s history allows for a greater margin of error but he is by no means insulated. More people hate Kanye and what he’s become than people who even know who AB even is. And people make sure he knows it. Let’s get a grip.
Don’t worry, plenty of us think they’re both dickheads.
It’s hitting this generation hard because we as human beings have become soft, emotional wrecks. People constantly complaining about mental health as though it’s in fashion. No sympathy for anyone who commits suicide. Taking the easy way out like a punk. People on this plant that don’t have the basic necessities in life, women and children being blown up into pieces. Yet on this side of the planet people are ready to kill themselves due to some comments on the internet LOLOLOLOLOL
Very well said !
takin the easy way out. as if someone if after them to kill them. wtf are you blabbing about. i know i rant on this site but damn ur a fuckin idiot. ill have no sympathy when anyone of ur family dies. oh wait u wont even get a news blip. stfu.
She is vile and angry and holds nothing back when she goes in on people (about whatever.) She will be back to that this week after yall gave her a little more publicity this week.
Of course she is, she’s black
Good bye
Bye Felicia
Nah shorty stay off social media and seek professional help. These silly and often times childish people with social media accounts aren’t worth dying for. You still have much to offer in this world.
LOL! Dude?! Are you weirdo lgbtqabcdefg type sucka identify as a plant and sh!t? No she shouldn’t die but she should shut the fxck up. Permanently. And we can laugh and comment about an asshole making am asshole of themself every fxcking day…it’s fun.
OH LOOK AT ME IM GONNA KILL MYSELF. said no one who has ever killed themselves. how much does her label pay u to promote her?
Before she dies she should stop wearing red lipstick it doesn’t go well with her complexion
I for sure won’t lose any sleep
When Robin Williams committed suicide, there was no social media blitz on his behalf. He was serious about it and sadly did it. This? This feels like another media stunt on her behalf.
What about the singel mother with 3 children and no work from the Brooklyn projects whos doing everything she can to survive and here we feel sorry for Azealia Banks? Maaaan fuck that bitch, she should be ashamed the way she seeking attention, this is disrespecting every women from the projects who’s really struggling, with real pain and real tears. Take me back to the 90’s please!
Attention seeking BS, and if she kills herself she’ll have all the attention she needs
You need help stop putting others down you don’t know her
where is she from.
Peace out then! No one control you and why you telling everyone and making avid for people to even understand if you want to leave and don’t want attention? Could have already did it and not posted at all……dumb
Leave that to yourself
Speak positivity.
Watch Joel Osteen regularly.
Empty out the negative.
At least you not tied to some womanizing game player SHIt HEAD…??
Anyone commenting shit like do it or any of that negative stuff is obviously not living a full life themselves so this is the petty mindset they have. Damn bruh anything for a like? Everyday people like you help bring this site and possibly this world to a new low.
I guess blips on the screen really want to be seen. Sucka.
DO IT ALREADY
Messing with that witchcraft stuff is dangerous. she needs to get rid of those demons pushing her to suicide
It would be sad to lose her, she’s one of the best artists of her generation. sadly people will praise her work after shes gone. i hope she can get some help
Nobody liked your comment and we all know why
Man do I hate 2020 too, suicide isn’t cool and no one should be encouraging her at all. But I really hate the narrative that she is some sort of troubled genius just because she is somewhat famous. Like I said suicide isn’t cool, but if this narrative is pushed, its actually harmful to people who are attention seekers and people who are actually wanting to commit suicide. With this chick she has always been looking for instant gratification and has constantly blamed others for her misfortune, she likely is mentally ill due to her circumstances but this definetly seems like another way to deflect blame and everything she says needs to be taken with a grain of salt. That being said, she probably is extremely stressed and does have thoughts of suicide much like others in the industry, so prayers and positive thoughts are helpful, but that doesn’t mean you praise her.
