Azealia Banks -- Here"s What Really Happened With Russell Crowe (VIDEO)
Azealia Banks is sticking to her story — that Russell Crowe choked her, spit on her and called her the n-word over the weekend … and adds her so-called pal, RZA, essentially has no balls in Hollywood. We got Azealia in Century…

Russell Crowe: Azealia Banks Threatened to Stab Me!
Over the weekend, we reported on an unexpected beef between Russell Crowe and Azealia Banks, two people who aren’t exactly known for their level-headed conflict resolution skills.
In the sort of lengthy social media screed for which she’s become known, Banks detailed a shocking confrontation with Crowe that allegedly took place in front of several witnesses.
“I went to a party at Russell Crowe’s suite, at which he called me a n-gger, choked me, threw me out and spat at me,” Banks wrote on Facebook Sunday morning.
“The men in the room allowed it to happen. I feel terrible today.”
Appalling allegations, to be sure.
Today, however, several witnesses have come forward to claim that the incident didn’t happen at all as Banks described, insisting that she was the one who threw a tantrum, while Crowe remained surprisingly calm.
Sources tell TMZ that Crowe invited several friends over to his Beverly Hills hotel room Saturday night to have dinner and listen to music.
One of those guests was Wu Tang Clan impresario the RZA, who brought Banks along as his plus-one.
The trouble began when Banks began openly mocking Crowe’s music selections, but witnesses say the notoriously volatile actor kept his cool.
Reportedly upset when her outburst failed to get a rise out of her host, Banks began dropping racial epithets and referred to Crowe and another male guest as “boring white men.”
“You would love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino s–t,” Banks allegedly said at one point.
It’s not surprising that Banks’ version of events is being contested, both because A-listers on Crowe’s level always have someone to get their back, and because Banks has a reputation as a bit of a violent psychopath with a rather shaky relationship with the truth.
In the past year, Banks has threatened to kill her rivals on Twitter, gone on vile racist rants in public forums, and made shocking claims that later turned out to be total BS.
Of course, none of that is to say that she’s lying in this case.
Banks has been accused of slandering other celebs in the past, but it’s worth remembering that Crowe has a history of violent outbursts.
It may be quite some time before we find out what exactly went down in Crowe’s hotel suite on Saturday night.
In related news, Quentin Tarantino is reportedly thrilled that his name is now synonymous with cartoonish bloodshed.
He just likes to be acknowledged!
Russell Crowe -- Tosses Azealia Banks From Suite ... Witnesses Say She Made Bloody Threat
Russell Crowe bounced rapper Azealia Banks out of his hotel suite when she turned into the “plus one” from hell and threatened to cut his guests and watch them bleed … according to multiple witnesses. The bizarre incident went down Saturday night…

Azealia Banks: Russell Crowe Attacked Me!
So hey, are you completely disgusted and disappointed and disenchanted with the world?
If you are, then congrats on your keen understand of how much everything sucks.
And if you’re not, well, then prepare to say goodbye to the last little bit of hope you’ve been clinging to, because it’s about to run away screaming.
OK, Azealia Banks, right?
She’s a rapper, but she’s better known for being absolutely terrible.
Earlier this year, she called Zayn Malick, the former One Direction member who also happens to be from a Pakistani family, a “hairy, curry-scented bitch” and a “f-ggot.”
She’s gone after Iggy Azalea time and time again, even going so far as to say “let me just kill this bitch.”
So those are some really horrific racist and homophobic remarks paired with a death threat — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
It’s really unfortunate that Azealia’s chosen to build her career on being awful, and that’s for many reasons.
And right now, the biggest one is that it means many people won’t believe her harrowing new story.
In a Facebook post that she made earlier today and promptly deleted, Azealia claims that Russell Crowe attacked her.
And the details are just horrific.
“To recap my night,” she wrote, “I went to a party at Russell Crowe’s suite, at which he called me a n-gger, choked me, threw me out and spat at me.”
“Last night was one of the hardest nights of sleep I’ve had in a long time.”
“The men in the room allowed it to happen. I feel terrible today.”
In another heartbreaking Facebook post, she wrote “And just weak as f-ck man. I want to f-cking die.”
“Just feel so low and mishandled and alone and f-cking depressed right now,” she added. “I wish I had someone to beat him up for me.”
As of now, Russell hasn’t addressed Azealia’s claims, and it’s hard to imagine that he will.
We don’t know what exactly happened, obviously, but it’s worth noting that while Azealia has a history of being seriously offensive, she doesn’t have a history of lying.
Especially not about something so serious.
Whatever went down at that party, we hope Azealia feels better soon. Regardless of the awful things she’s said in the past, no one deserves to feel so low.

Azealia Banks Defends Decision to Bleach Skin: I"m Still Black!
The very outspoken Azealia Banks is usually going on the offensive, dissing other stars left and right about whatever"s pissing her off today.
But now the rapper is playing defense after she took a hit from fans about her decision to bleach her skin.
Followers came down on her in June when they noticed her skin tone in recent pics appeared significantly lighter.
It was later revealed that Banks, who has been vocal about racism against dark-skinned blacks in the past, used the skin bleaching product Whitenicious to modify her complexion.
"I love how she"s the one talking about blackness all the time and now she bleaches her skin," lamented one fan.
Banks recently addressed the criticism in a 21-minute Facebook Live video, which was just deleted as we wrote this post. (Luckily, BeBoxMusic captured a small clip of it, seen below.)
“I don’t really think it’s important to discuss the cultural significance of skin bleaching anymore,” Banks told fans.
“Just as black people in this world, you assimilate, and there are things you accept, not just out of necessity but things become norm because they just happen all the time.”
So… she did it because it happens all the time?
She compares the decision to that of any woman who opts to alter her appearance.
"Its a deeper conversation into a woman"s right to choose, a woman"s choice," she said.
"What"s the difference between getting a nose job and changing your skin color?"
In 2015, Banks tweeted about the difficulties of being a dark-skinned woman and how it has affected her personally.
"The treatment I get for being a dark skinned woman just makes me want to lay down and die sometimes," she wrote.
"They hate us, they treat us like dogs, then turn around and ask why we’re mad. I don’t care what anyone says: men in general despise dark skinned women."
Of course, Banks" Twitter account was suspended in May after she (ironically) went on a racist, homophobic rant against singer Zayn Malik.
She concludes by basically telling fans to chill.
"I don"t think that me rubbing on some f**kin" bleaching cream or some cake soap is gonna be the end of the revolution, guys."
Watch a clip of the rant below:

Azealia Banks Apologizes for Racist, Homophobic Attack on Zayn Malik
Earlier this week, terrible human Azealia Banks went on a sickening Twitter rant against Zayn Malik.
Among other things, she called him a “token brown boy,” a “curry scented b*tch” and a “f*ggot.” Oh, and she referred to his mother as a “dirty refugee.”
Yeah.
The shocking tirade led to a suspension of her Twitter account, and the internet rejoiced with the hashtag #AzealiaGotSuspendedParty.
She was also dropped from an upcoming London music festival.
Apparently recognizing that her bigotry might actually cost her some money, the rapper has now issued an apology on Instagram.
Read her message in full:
“Now that the immediacy of the infamous incident has worn off, I’ve had sometime to decompress & take a more rational assessment of things.
“I want to extend my sincerest apologies to the world.
“Employing racial/sexist slurs/stereotypes in attempt to make fun of or degrade another person or group is absolutely unacceptable and is not fair or fun for anyone.
“Allowing my anger to get the best of me, I’ve managed to insult millions of people without reason.
“And for that I give my deepest apologies.”
Banks’ PR team likely breathed a sigh of relief and tried to get some much-needed sleep after she posted it yesterday.
A few hours later, in a separate comment, she hilariously attempted to defend her “curry” insult by calling it a “dumb nyc joke about cabs smelling like curry” and reasoning, “I personally really enjoy curry and cook with it often.”
Then today, she posted more crap that calls into question the sincerity of her apology.
She re-grammed a comment from a fan who wrote, “I like Azealia because she doesn’t care she says whatever the f**k she wants to say when she wants to without a fear in her body.”
The fan went on to bring up Skai Jackson’s comments, who after reading Banks’ attack on Malik, tweeted, “Azealia Banks needs to simmer down a little” and “When a no hip having 14 year old has more class than you. Worry about your career. Get one.”
In the caption, Banks wrote, “Yes. The child is a coon in training @skaijackson“
And her PR team collectively choked on their Sunday brunch.

Azealia Banks Twitter Account Suspended Due to Rampant Racism and Homophobia
Twitter has managed to do the one thing no celebrity has yet been able to do:
Shut Azealia Banks up.
Following a rampage in which she went off on Zayn Malik via a firestorm of hateful insults that questioned his skin color… his religion… and his sexual preference, Banks has seen her Twitter account get temporarily suspended.
Those who visit the account for @AZEALIABANKS will now be redirected to a page that reads: “Account suspended.”
A message there explains why:
This account has been suspended. Learn more about why Twitter suspends accounts, or return to your timeline.
This news has hilariously caused “#AzealiaGotSuspendedParty” to start trending on Twitter.
Of course, anyone who has been following the celebrity gossip world over the past few days is well aware already of why Banks has gotten the social media boot.
In response to her belief that Malik copied portions of her work for his latest music video, Banks called Malik a “bitch n-gga” on Tuesday.
She also said he was the “token brown boy” in One Direction, that his mother is a “dirty refuse” and that he’s a giant “f-ggot.”
These messages got Banks fired from an upcoming London music festival and led many on Twitter to start calling for her account to be suspended.
They also led 14-year old Skai Jackson to slam Banks, putting the artist in her place by saying she has no class and no career.
“Fix ur life,” Jackson wrote to Banks. ‘I’m sure my mom did a wayyy better job then yours did! You give black woman a bad name. I’ll be praying for you.”
The only surprising thing here is that it took Twitter so long to actually kick Banks off.
She has bashed the gay community in general in the past, while she’s also gotten into absurd beefs with Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Pharrell and Iggy Azalea.
Who has Banks NOT gone after?
That may actually be a shorter list than who she has gone after.
We’ve made an attempt to compile the latter below:

Skai Jackson Just OWNED Azealia Banks on Twitter
Azealia Banks just got put in her place by a 14-year old.
Let’s all stand and give it up for Skai Jackson, shall we?
A day after Banks went off the deep end (even for her) in slamming Zayn Malik, the Disney Channel actress jumped on Twitter and put Banks in her place.
“Azealia Banks needs to simmer down a little,” the teenager Tweeted on Tuesday afternoon.
This has been true for years now, but here’s a refresher on why Banks really needs to simmer down at the moment:
Because she believes Malik based his latest music video (for “Like I Would”) on her music video (for “Yung Rapunzel”), Banks bashed the former One Direction member for his Muslim heritage on Monday.
She also called him a “f-ggot” and a “sand n-gga” and said his mother is a “dirty refugee.”
Azealia Banks has said a lot of crazy, homophobic and racist stuff ever since she became famous, but she combined all of it in this epically awful rant.
And the singer didn’t back down from Jackson in this case, even if she is just 14 years old.
“You need to grow some hips and start ur menses. stay in a child’s place,” she shot back at the Jessie and Bunk’d.
But this only inspired Jackson to take the feud farther. (God bless her.)
“When a no hip having 14 year old has more class than you. Worry about your career. Get one.,” Jackson wrote back.
And now back to Banks:
“LOL, says the Disney Channel Reject. … You know they don’t like girls your color. Enjoy while it lasts… ur mom’s been pimping you out to disney since you were a lil girl. lets see what you end up like at 21. bye.”
And now back to Jackson, who still wasn’t done:
“I had a career before Disney and I’m sure I will after! And I know I won’t turn out like you bitter and miserable!
“Fix ur life … and I’m sure my mom did a wayyy better job then yours did! You give black woman a bad name. I’ll be praying for you.”
As you can see below, Banks has previously battled Iggy Azalea, Lady Gaga and Pharrell on Twitter.
But this is her first time going back and forth with a 14-year old.
And the 14-year old just won in a landslide.

Azealia Banks Goes on Racist, Homophobic Tirade Against Zayn Malik
We know we shouldn’t be surprised by anything Azealia Banks says or does at this point.
She once told someone to kill herself, after all. And we’re pretty sure she meant it.
But still.
Even for Azealia Banks, her latest rant against Zayn Malik reached an epic, disturbing, wildly inappropriate and racist new low.
It all started after Malik released his futuristic music video for “Like I Would.”
Banks jumped on Twitter and claimed the design too closely resembled that of her “Yung Rapunzel” clip.
The former One Direction member didn’t directly respond, but he did Tweet the following on Tuesday afternoon:
“No lies … I see you reaching but I don’t care… My @’s too good for you.”
And that was all Banks needed to absolutely GO OFF on Malik.
We’re just gonna go ahead and list her string of insane insults and let you be the judge – because what is there to even really say on our end about such disparaging nonsense?
@zaynmalik dude, I make better music than you. Simmer down with that fake white boy rebellion and that wannabe beiber swag.
lol u a bitch n*gga for even responding like that. Keep sucking this yung rapunxel d*ck u hairy curry scented bitch. imma start calling you punjab you dirty bitch.
You a dick rider for real for real. Ride this dick until the wheels fall off Punjab.
lol u were the only paki in the group and you knew you were there for a reason.
You were the the token brown boy. All those white boys in 1D disrespected you and made you their PET.
You were only apart of 1d to draw brown attention. You are and ALWAYS will be a TOKEN to the UK.
@zaynmalik still doesn’t change the fact that your mother is a dirty refugee who won’t be granted asylum. LOL @ZAYNMALIK IS A F*GGOT.
So… yeah. There you have it.
This isn’t the first time Banks has slammed the gay community and we’re sure it won’t be the last.
Even the most loyal One Direction fans, even those still steamed at Malik for leaving the group have the agree:
She’s a truly awful human being.

Azealia Banks, Iggy Azalea BOTH Attack Beyonce Over "Lemonade" Lyrics
Well, the lyrics to Beyonce’s Lemonade album are still tearing the freaking country apart for some reason, but in an unexpected twist, the controversial recording has managed to very temporarily unite two longtime rivals.
Yes, it seems Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks are finally both on the same page about something…kind of.
We’ll start with Iggy, since her criticism of Queen Bey is stupider and therefore easier to unpack.
Like so many others, Iggy has been thinking a lot about Beyonce’s “Becky” line.
Unlike the others, however, Iggy isn’t concerned with the identity of Becky, but rather with what the lyric means for oppressed people … like Iggy Azalea.
Shortly after the “visual album” version of Lemonade hit HBO, someone on Twitter accused Iggy of being racist for objecting to being referred to by the B-word.
(“Becky,” of course. What did you think we meant?)
“Girl BYE,” Iggy tweeted in response. “Do you know how many time ppl have called me BECKY? it didnt have any kind of positive intention behind it. dont start.
Naturally, the tweet left Iggy vulnerable to attack from hundreds of fans who pointed out that the notion Iggy Azalea complaining about being racially discriminated against is a tad ridiculous.
Several media outlets reported the story as I-G-G-Y accusing Beyonce of being racist, an angle that the Aussie rapper took umbrage with:
“Its not clickable if you say it how it is, is it? We all know this game by now,” Iggy tweeted yesterday.
But…if she thinks people who use the word Becky to refer to white women are racist, and Beyonce used the word to…never mind. We’ll leave it to Twitter to tell Iggy how dumb her argument is.
Moving on to the Azealia who’s superior both in terms of rap skills and her ability to piss everyone off, Ms. Banks also took issue with Bey’s lyrics as well, but for very different reasons:
“This heartbroken black female narrative you keep trying to push is the Antithesis of what feminism is,” Azealia tweeted in one of the more intelligent critiques of the album we’ve heard thus far.
“You been singing about this n–ga for years and he still playing you. That’s not strength that’s stupidity.
“And it’s not what the national black women’s conversation needs right now. More pain more suffering in the face of a man.”
“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.”
Again, we won’t weigh in on whether or not we think Azealia is being fair or unfair here, but it’s certainly a more thought-provoking argument than the dumbassery being spewed by the likes of Iggy Azalea and Piers Morgan.
At the end of the day, we like the album from a musical standpoint, and hey – if Jay Z is cool with those lyrics, we’re pretty sure just about anyone can come to terms with them.

Azealia Banks SLAMS Kanye West, Kardashian Family on Twitter
The only time Azealia Banks makes headlines is when she attacks someone a more famous celebrity on Twitter.
Usually she goes after low-hanging fruit like Iggy Azalea.
Last week, Banks went after Tila Tequila, and the ensuing back-and-forth was amusing, but didn’t earn the sort of attention that Azealia craves like oxygen.
So this week, the rapper-turned-professional-trash-talker decided to seek out a more worthy opponent – the originator and king of the batsh-t Twitter tantrum himself, Kanye West.
When a fan of Banks’ (They’re a rare breed, but they do exist.) tried to compliment her by calling her the “next Kanye,” Azealia took it as an insult (of course) and went off on an artist whom she once cited as one of her inspirations:
“Kanye lost all credibility when he became a kardashian,” Banks tweeted. “I don’t even look up to him anymore. i look past him… B/C kanye was put here to do major cultural work, which he’s traded out for trying to make bootleg jay-z moves.”
In most contexts, being compared to arguably the best rapper alive would be a compliment, but Azealia hates Jay Z, as well as Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell, and anyone else who’s ever made music and/or drawn breath.
Yeah, she seems like a fun person.
Our hearts go out to the folks in her inner circle who haven’t already had their still-beating hearts ripped from their chest cavities.
Run while you still can.

Tila Tequila & Azealia Banks Attack Each Other in Racist Twitter War For the Ages
If you’re not familiar with Tila Tequila and Azealia Banks, just know that they’re a couple of Z-list a-holes who have committed themselves to making the Internet – and the world – worse for everyone by spewing hateful, racist nonsense on a daily basis.
So far this year, Tila has threatened to shoot up a movie theater, posted a photo of her daughter with a Hitler mustache, claimed to be an alien with a robot brain, and started a GoFundMe page so that she can start shopping at Target, because she feels there are too many black people at Wal Mart.
Not to be outdone in the bigoted psycho department, Ms. Banks issued an online death threat, encouraged a suicidal fellow artist to kill herself, and called for Sarah Palin to be “gang raped by black men.”
Sadly, even though we have the technology, our society has not started equipping people like this with weapons and luring them into a video camera-equipped space shuttle where they can do battle for our amusement while orbiting the Earth at a safe distance.
Fortunately, people who are awful in such similar ways will inevitably seek each out and expend their energy being terrible to one another, which is exactly what happened on Twitter today:
It all started when Tila spewed some insanity about Banks’ comments about Palin:
“@AZEALIABANKS blacks with your mentality DO accept slavery & you continue to endorse it. Bravo genius!” Tequila tweeted.
“The purge is real, it’s happening, and many I have returned to deliver messages directly from heaven to humanity of what is coming!” she continued.
“@AZEALIABANKS will DEFINITELY NOT be allowed to enter heaven once the purge is over. She has but little time, if any, left 2 get right…The Afircan Americans in heaven where I currently reside would very much disagree with @AZEALIABANKS n–gerish behavior.”
Banks is probably one of the only people on the planet who man match Tequila in terms of racially-charged lunacy, and she brought her A-game in response:
“I’m not a Christian and I don’t believe in heaven. Furthermore, I don’t remember there being any Asians in the bible,” she tweeted to Tila.
“Girl, if you don’t go back the the fortune cookie sweatshop with this mess…Go make me some cat fried rice.”
You get the idea – super racist, super awful, super Tila Tequila and Azealia Banks.
Someone get these two a reality show ASAP!

Bristol Palin Threatens Azealia Banks: What Did She Say?
Bristol Palin has taken a break from randomly inserting herself into various controversies in order to insert herself into one of the more random celebrity feuds of this decade.
Indeed… the unwed mother of two has A LOT to say about Azealia Banks.
Earlier this month, the singer went off on Bristol’s mom via a series of X-rated Tweets, at one point suggesting that Sarah Palin ought to be the victim of a sexual assault at the hands of multiple black men.
Banks quickly deleted the inflammatory messages, but not before they were captured for eternity by the Internet.
In response, Sarah Palin says she plans to sue Banks and “share [her] winnings with others who have gone defenseless against lies and dangerous attacks far too long.”
Now, in a Patheos blog titled “Azealia, which of your songs will teach me your values?,” Bristol responded to Azealia’s inappropriate comments.
“I want to start off this post by saying I would never wish any of these threats on Azealia’s mother (or anyone’s mother for that matter),” Bristol wrote.
She then quotes what Banks Tweeted about how the “burliest blackest negroes” out there should “run a train on” Sarah Palin and continued:
“It is unfortunate people in my generation think they can do, and say, whatever they wish without any sort of consequence. There are consequences for every action you make Miss Bank$ , and there will be consequences for your unimaginable threats.”
Banks also Tweeted that Bristol would not have so many “cotdamn kids” if she listed to some of her music, to which Bristol came back with what we have to admit is pretty great reply.
“Which song should I have been listening too?” she asked Banks, listing the titles of some of Banks’ better known singles, such as Hood Bitch, P-U-S-S-Y and Queen of Clubs.
Afraid of actually being sued, Banks responded to Sarah Palin’s threat of a lawsuit by saying she was “completely kidding” with her initial remarks.
But she also added the following:
“When you’re a public figure who courts attention, you can’t sue ppl for making jokes. Freedom of Speech girllllyyyyy.”

Azealia Banks vs. Sarah Palin: Unexpected Feud Alert!
Azealia Banks and Sarah Palin may not seem like the most likely rivals, but when you think about it was inevitable that they would eventually butt heads, not because they’re so different – but because they’re so strangely similar.
Like the notorious Alaska-governor-turned-Trump-hanger-on, Banks tends to rush headlong into random situations and offer her (usually outraged) two cents without doing a lick of research.
This recently landed the rapper in trouble when she called for Palin to be gang-raped by black men, after mistakenly believing a satirical news article to be factual.
The fake article claimed that Palin blamed blacks for willingly “accepting” slavery.
She may have said some truly ridiculous things in her day, but she never said that, and Banks never apologized for tearing Palin a new one in a since-deleted Twitter rant.
Here’s where this story really gets shocking. Palin defended herself today in an astonishingly articulate statement (that was almost certainly written by someone else):
“You’re obviously not exercising enough intelligence to acknowledge you’ve been sucked into believing some fake interview,” Palin (or somebody in her camp) wrote.
“Why don’t we strengthen both our platforms and work together on something worthwhile – like condemning racism.
“And now I’ll go through my young daughter’s playlist to make sure there hasn’t been any inadvertent addition of any anti-woman, pro-rape garbage that you seem to endorse, which perpetuates the cultural challenges we face in America.”
Wow. Looks like Ms. Banks should stick to feuding with Iggy Azalea.
As it is, she’s forcing us to side with Sarah Palin, and that’s just not cool.

Nick Young: I Cheated on Iggy Azalea...With Azealia Banks!
Earlier this week, we reported that Nick Young admitted to cheating on Iggy Azalea in a video recorded by his teammate D’Angelo Russell.
Yesterday, several sources claimed that Nicki Minaj leaked the footage in response to recent comments Iggy made about Nicki’s music. Now it seems another rap rival is involved in this scandal, and the situation might have just turned into Iggy’s worst nightmare:
In a statement posted to his Facebook page moments ago, Young admitted that not only was he unfaithful to Iggy, he cheated on her with her harshest critic, the similarly named, but actually talented Azealia Banks:
“I regret my actions, and regret such pain to someone I love so dearly,” Young wrote.
“But at the end of the day, Ms. Banks can straight up rap. I’ve been wanting to hit that ever since “212” came out. You ever listened to Iggy freestyle? Sounds like someone dropped an Australian Furby in a blender.”
Naturally, Banks took to Twitter to taunt Iggy about Young’s shocking revelation.
“I told Igloo Australia when she crawled out the kangaroo pouch that if she steals my name, I’m gonna steal her man,” Banks tweeted.
“I would tell her to take her ass back to Sydney or wherever, but Nick spends enough time down under for the both of them #WentThere”
Before any Iggy fans decide to go after Azealia on social media, we should note that this is an April Fools’ joke.
So you can both just calm down.

Azealia Banks to Iggy Azalea: Kill Yourself!
The feud between Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks has been heating up in recent weeks, which is really not surprising, as at this point, neither of them is relevant for anything other than social media beefs.
These two have been at each other’s throats ever since Azealia (somewhat hilariously) referred to Iggy as “Satan in the form of mayonnaise” and accused her of appropriating black culture without making any effort to understand the challenges faced by African-Americans.
Things picked up earlier this month, when Banks issued a death threat to Iggy on social media, shortly before deleting her Twitter account entirely (much to the chagrin of lovers of online drama).
We didn’t think it was possible, but this feud got even darker today.
It all started during a recent radio interview, when Iggy admitted to contemplating suicide due to the amount of hate she’s received online.
“Sometimes I’d drive through the canyons to get to my horses, and I’d think, what if I just kept driving off the canyon?” she told LA DJ J Cruz last week.
Most who heard her comments felt at least a little bit bad for Iggy…but not Azealia:
“YAAS slavemaster,” Banks commented on an article about the interview. “Drive that slave truck right off the canyon!!”
Yikes. Azealia’s not known for her sensitivity, but telling a person who’s publicly admitted to being suicidal that she should kill herself is really a new low.

Azealia Banks Issues Death Threat to Iggy Azalea
Okay, so Iggy Azalea hasn’t exactly had the greatest year. In fact, at some point in the past 12 months, the entire country collectively decided she’s super annoying.
That said, Azealia Banks just took her feud with Iggy to a new level, and it’s totally not okay:
In case you’re unaware, Banks attacks other artists on Twitter like its her job (and given the sorry state of her music career, it pretty much is).
Usually, it’s amusing – even when she goes after easy targets like Iggy – but last night, Ms. Banks may have finally gone too far.
In response to a recent interview in which Iggy talked about her plastic surgery and her feud with Azealia, Banks took to Twitter and hit Iggy where it hurts – right in the nose (job):
“Mentioning me is the only thing that will get you attention,” she tweeted.” Because your music and nose job are trash. I’m about to take my pettiness to a whole new level. Like, I’m about to do something so f–king petty. You’re gonna be gagging all year.”
“Matter of fact. Let me just kill this bitch. No one is talking about you so you chose to mention me. Wrong move.”
Yes, Azealia literally threatened to kill Iggy.
While we love a good Twitter feud as much as anyone, we feel like “criminal threats of bodily harm” is a good place to draw the line.
