Wale and Azealia Banks have resumed their beef after getting into a heated row on social media.
The drama began in rather innocent fashion on Wednesday (April 2) when Wale wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “I’m not sellin my soul . I’m not playin them other games either .. ain’t no ‘era’ I ain’t never stopped…hope this helps wit the nostalgia bait.”
However, the notoriously outspoken Banks took issue with his statement and proceeded to rubbish his entire rap career.
“N-gga the only hot song you ever made is ‘ridin in that black joint.’ It’s no shade,” she replied. “But ur rap swag and delivery and persona got something off in a very generic type of way. It’s highkey cause u African no shade. U shoulda been African T-pain.”

It’s no shade . But ur rap swag and delivery and persona got something off in a very generic type of way.

The former MMG MC laughed off Banks’ attack by plugging a festival in which he and T-Pain both appear on the bill before adding: “Ngl … the chicken butcher lady sayin my only hit is off a video game I never played before is funny af…I don’t even think that song is on dsp. We Stan.”
The “212” rapper then grew increasingly heated, writing back: “Says the guy with a period panty fetish…. I didn’t say it was your only hit, I honestly wouldn’t know what hits you have because you’ve never developed any sort of musical identity that was distinct enough for me to recognize.
“If someone played me something I’d probably just think it was Wiz Khalifa tbh. I do remember you kind of creepily and randomly alluding to my period, and I do remember ridin in that black joint from like 2009. You should put it out I liked it.
“Ps: the ‘chicken butcher’ is disappointingly pedestrian. You’ve got an undeniably flaccid way with words.”
Finally. Some attention . Thank you Azealia Banks https://t.co/ToJwYfjSbd

Wale responded by saying: “My favorite thing on this app is you tellin everybody what they should be doing…life is hard af and yet you find time to tell everybody everywhere all the time how to do things … you are way too kind to us.”
Banks then dialed up the vitriol even further, clapping back: “Ugh wale, you’re still a dumb colonized Nigerian who doesn’t understand that the extremely low impact you’ve had in music is all due to your desperation to be as non threatening and agreeable as to corny white ‘producers’ huh?
“I wouldn’t have a damn thing to say to you or about you if you hadn’t come around talking about my fucking period randomly out of the blue. Like you know me, or if that was even an appropriate way to introduce yourself. I will always talk to you and about you like the tampon chewing dog you are. Listen, I know you’re a little cunty drama school f-g but you’re 40 now.”
Wale dismissed her scathing critique of his music, replying: “The most disappointing thing bout this exchange is that I’ve realized u don’t know ball … and you’ve been the AnR for everybody everywhere all the time for years…. and you just don’t know ball .. this take sounds like if chat gpt and pitchfork had a baby .. u know too much!”
That prompted another fiery response from the Harlem native: “You know white balls in your mouth and the warmth of white buttholes quivering around your nose as you lick and savor the cheesy salt off of industry gooch. Now, I don’t want to hear another word out of your mouth until you find your own balls and progress as an artist.
“Yes, I Am the worlds best A&R and it’s quite comical that you can repeat that verbatim. You are CERTAINLY a member of the #Kuntbrigade. We don’t rub shoulders with pedophiles and rapists and talk fetishize menstrual blood you fucking daschund.”
Banks continued her tirade: “Lol, stop being a cunty fool, you’re fucking jealous of me because you were and still are that obligatory black rap sidekick doing trash remixes of hipster runoff bullshit, wanting to desperately to be seen as different (like every fucking delusional African n-gga) doing remixes of racist ass Lily Allen’s tracks, lending ‘street cred’ to Lady Gaga’s MIA ripoff song, ….yet never as authentically cool or original as Azealia Banks / Theophilus London.
“Like a typically closeted homo, you dropped out of a DC pride event under the auspices of ‘not knowing it was a gay event’. Wale, you are a flaming homosexual unironically cheesifying their artistic outputs as tributes to successful white men like Jerry Seinfeld who does give a fuck who you are!”
The pair previously clashed almost a decade ago when Wale disagreed with Azealia Banks’ claims that Black men “sold out” Black women, which she made in a social media rant.
That back and forth escalated to the point of Banks telling the D.C. rapper he “belongs” in jail.

Wale should have done like most people and ignored her. Bitch never has anything of value to say.
She likes to diss others, but cannot handle it when others diss her. She’s irrelevant. Ignore her completely.
Narcissistic behavior. Rules for thee, not for me.
And i still say she doesn’t come up with her own shit on X. Because when she was on that Nick Cannon show (the name has slipped my mind and don’t care enough to Google it) she couldn’t come back with anything halfway clever, witty or intelligent.
Banks talking about anyone’s music career is cute. She’s just known as the crazy cat lady ranting on Twitter, noone knows her for her music.
Wale handled her with ease…
Azalia’s the type of bitch to dig in her asshole and smell her fingers
SHE NEED A GOOD ASS FUCKING💯
When is this bitch going to OD or fall off a building? The world would be better
Somebody murk this bish
Somebody murk this bish
She’s right! Right message, wrong messenger cuz she trash too. But Wale is one of the worst “artists” y’all let have a pass in the last 25 years. Him and Big Sean smh
Azelia Banks is basically Kanye without the talent or hits, lol!
Ha funny, I hope it channels Wale to bring some heat.
Wale was the nerd of Maybach Music.. Tha Bawse had to let him go for he is not about that life. Fuckin show wrestling watching qu3er pansy. Fuck this nerd ass qu3er and his rainbow parades.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Banks as problems. This is all she ever does now. Trashing people on social media isn’t a flex. She can’t talk about her own music career.
Facts!
