Azealia Banks Went From Loving To Hating Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’
At first, Azealia Banks was as pleased with Beyoncé’s Lemonade as the Beyhive. “I need to repent … EXACTLY what pop culture needs,” she said during its April 23 HBO premiere. Not even a week later, the Slay-Z rapper has changed her mind and has a million reasons why.
“Piers Morgan is right,” Azealia said on Twitter. His latest Daily Mail column laments over how Beyoncé played “the race card so deliberately and, in my mind, unnecessarily.” So Azealia started questioning Beyoncé’s intentions. “Just six months ago you told every black girl in the industry to “bow down” now you want to stick up for black folk lol,” Azealia said.
There is also a fan theory that, while in that yellow Roberto Cavalli dress, Beyoncé channels Oshun, a deity of the Nigerian Yoruba people. “I’ve been pumping African traditional religions/witchcraft for a LONG time.'” Azealia says, before calling her a “poacher” and “thief.”
Finally, Azealia thinks Beyoncé’s “heartbroken black female narrative” is “trying to push is the Antithesis of what feminism is.” See the litany of complaints below.

Because she’s not a “sister” she’s a poacher. She’s a thief. Sisters don’t steal, sisters share. https://t.co/2SkMnUygpz
