erm so obvious it was aimed at her...

then she moved onto skai jackson, who was rubbing her little nose in it (14 year olds should not mess with AB)

so what do u guys think. do u think she was out of order for the things she was saying?

personally i feel like she is very very very very misunderstood by many people. i know she was saying very offensive things, however this girl does speak a lot of sense at times. people were just attackking her left right and centre last night and i felt bad for her. she really isnt a racist person, i feel like she just needs to express her anger in a way that will not potray her in the media in this light as all the media seem to want to show her as is a homophobic, racist black woman and not even acknowledge her amazing music.

what do u think

in the meantime listen to her latest single

she makes me laugh so she gets my vote

Let's be honest here, Bob the builder has had more success in the UK than her.

[OldLoveSong]

look at that crowd....

[FlyingJesus]

How can you read anything she's said in the past 5 years and conclude she's not a racist lmao, she's prob part of the Nile Valley Movement and calls all her friends Hotep, the woman's an absolute arse who made one almost listenable song half a decade ago

not racist imo
there are many other people who are racist on twitter etc butwhy are they not called out for it?

[FlyingJesus]

"imma start calling you punjab you dirty ______"
"u hairy curry scented _____"

It's not the media making her look like a racist, it's the words she is using. This is like talking to Dan in 2014 about Nigel Farage lol, blind idol worship and apologist nonsense

[Elegance]

the fact that other ppl are racist but don't get called out for it doesn't protect her from the fact that she's still a racist

incredibly rude and unnecessary imo!

yeah i know and ive said before that its unacceptable what she has said. but why is everyone hating on her so so so much when you got people like iggy azalea who have had racist tweets on their account before?
also why is it any different when she got people tweeting her "******" and "bitch" etc all the frickin time i just dont get it. im not condoning racism, im just saying that there is and has always been and bandwagon to hate on azealia banks and i really dont think thats fair.

[Prosiary]

she's a nobody

[myles]

she's a nobody here is an example of the bandwagon I was talking about

Most of these people don't even know her music and are so quick to judge her on her Twitter personality. I don't blame them as her behaviour can be appalling (yet funny at times) but I wish that they wouldn't be so ignorant and appreciate her for what she is - an artist. It's a shame that these kinds of people are so close minded and will never be able to fully enjoy her art due to what they have been fed by the media. She is a human being after all and I doubt you would call her a 'nobody' to her face. 😭😭😭😭

[Matt]

Well it's a bit obvious people will give her shit if she's going to act like a 12 year old over Twitter.

Probably just to get attention.

[Red]

Those tweets are racist and disgusting. It's not a bandwagon at all myles. Her sense of ego is seriously inflated lmao when she's had like one popular song. No artist deserves to get on like that.

[lemons]

she has an awful attitude and it's no wonder no music companies want anything to do with her

it's a shame because she has some great bops

[Rixion]

She's a state but I'll continue listening to her tunes

[Plebings]

it's heartbreaking really because i love her music to bits, she is intelligent and a huge talent which makes it even worse. for a while i have tried to distance her antics from the music but it gets more difficult each spat.

it just seems like one giant cry for help (though it really doesn't defend her actions, i still think she is a prejudice and hateful person), she has surrounded herself with the wrong crowd. she needs to stay away from the drugs and be with people who want to help her.

[xxMATTGxx]

I find it funny how her twitter account is currently suspended.

[myles]

she was obviously furious that night and i think she has some serious problems going on atm. i mean just look at her in that video she is obviously distressed and crazy af in this periscope... and people targetting her (and even calling her home phone because it was leaked by zayn) is obviously not helping
i find it ridiculous how everyone was ganging up on her that night and not just fans but other artists, youtubers etc who wanted to get in on this azealia banks drama.

- - - Updated - - -

i think her being suspended is the best thing for her atm, she needs to clear her head, realise what she did was unacceptable and come back when she is 100% herself.

never heard of her in my life

[FlyingJesus]

Myles this is not something new from her lol she's been ridiculous and abusive for a long time

yeah i know ive loved her for years now and have witnessed literally every single twitter beef she has had and i can tell you that nothing compares to this. where was everyone when she was being threatened by T.I and saying he was gonna push her down the stairs

[FlyingJesus]

Probably standing next to him with a camera

[-:Undertaker:-]

what's so unacceptable

celebrities use twitter to create controversy and that's why we follow them. all of them use twitter to **** one another off so who the hell cares, they use it for PR reasons and if you all find it "disgusting" you're pretty easily appalled. get a life! just laugh it off its just words from some mad rapper against some singer who says he doesn't wanna be famous but then courts the press.

if you were a celeb and didn't wanna court controversy then WHY would you reply to some minor celeb slagging you off. you'd ignore it. if you feel a need to respond to negative comments on social media and then complain about it escalating then its you who needs a check.

[myles]

literally i found it hard to accept that she was slightly unacceptable that night. and the only wrong i see in her from that night is the way she attacked zayn (i dont even like him) but she goes on about how black woman are treated badly in the music industry then she goes on to say stuff like this, just contradicting herself a bit. but her explanation was apparently to make a point that people like herself and zayn strugggle in the music industry or some shit like that so i give her the benefit of the doubt lol. but anyway i really dont see why people are branding her a homophobe (shes bi and her biggest following are gay men lmfao) and also a racist (all because she wrongfully was calling zayn a punjab) like come on she didnt even know what the word meant a famous youtuber had to point it out to her lmfao.

[Empired]

Can someone explain this to me like I know nothing about celebrities or what's really going on (because I don't)
It looks interesting but I don't understand this thread :'( what a nerd i know

[FlyingJesus]

tl;dr racist girl gets her uneducated arse handed to her then acts like she's the victim

[Matt]

lol because using words you don't know the meaning of to insult people is smart.

You'd think if a large amount of her fans are gay she'd make sure none of her posts can be seen as being homophobic???????

and for her to say she's making a point that people like herself and zayn struggle in the music industry, what a load of shit. She literally ripped him to shreds, that's hardly showing support?

She's pulling excuses out of her ass.
