At a time, Azealia Banks was the hottest new hip hop artist to hit the scene. Many even compared her to Kanye. She had hot songs such as “212” and “Liquorice;” you honestly cannot deny her talent. Since those days, her image has drastically changed. At this time, it seems like being a staple in the news is more important to Azealia than delivering good songs. For months Azealia has been a trending topic on Twitter –– sadly for the wrong reasons. She has single handedly created a negative image of herself, without the help of the media. Let’s take a look at some of her media nightmares below.
1. Called a flight attendant a f**king f*ggot
Back in September, Azealia got in a verbal fight with a flight attendant over baggage. After the video surfaced, Azealia claimed that he had hit her. This doesn’t justify calling him the gay slur. Azealia says she is bisexual and is allowed to use the slur–– that still doesn’t excuse it. She used the word with malice, and her intent was to use it in a derogatory way. When many gay people use the word, they use it to reclaim the negative meaning. What Azealia did was a slap to her gay fanbase.
2. Endorsed Trump
Azealia said she was endorsing Trump because ‘Hillary Clinton talks to black people as if we are pets.’ Now, everyone is allowed to endorse whoever they please, but Trump isn’t the one to endorse at all. He has a vast history of saying disgusting remarks about colored people. Azealia doesn’t understand that by endorsing him, her fan base will, too. Her fans are very easily influenced.
Right, black folk having been voting democrat for the last 70 years and we don’t have shit to show for it. https://t.co/3HMIVGHA86

3. Azealia supports Trump building a wall
Back in September, Azealia shared her support for Trump building a wall. “Mexican society will never be able to save itself if America keeps playing foster parent,” Banks said, and she later tweeted, “Maybe if they [Mexicans] don’t have the ability to escape to the U.S. they’ll plan, organize and overthrow the government.” She claims the government shouldn’t spend money supporting undocumented immigrants “for any reason other than black Americans still not having been paid reparations for slavery.” Sorry Azealia, but immigrants are not burdens, and they aren’t the issue. Ignorant people like you are the issue, and it baffles me that people still support you.
@ellieovalle maybe if they don’t have the ability to escape to the u.s they’ll plan, organize, and overthrow the government.

4. Called Zayn Malik every slur under the sun
Today when I saw Azealia trending once again, I already knew it wasn’t for her music at all. This was the most random one-sided fight I have ever seen. Zayn, for the most part, didn’t reply. The “feud” initially started after Azealia called Zayn out for copying her music video. She even went as far as calling his mother a “dirty refugee.” That part was the most disgusting because refugees cannot control their situations. They leave for a better life. Whether or not Zayn’s mother is a refugee, I am not sure, but what I’m sure of is refugee isn’t a dirty word or an insult. Azealia needs to consider getting a PR team or just never getting on social media ever gain. I am tired of her, and so is everyone else.
@zaynmalik lol u were the only paki in the group and you knew you were there for a reason.

@zaynmalik still doesn’t change the fact that your mother is a dirty refugee who won’t be granted asylum.
