Azealia Banks “Apologizes” After Rants Against Zayn, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Skai Jackson, Etc.

Azealia Banks, who might want to look into a long anger management retreat, has issued an apology (of sorts) after unleashing a volley of insults at Zayn Malik, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Skai Jackson and MNEK on Twitter.

Trying to make sense of any of Banks’ drivel is pointless, but her latest tornado of online venom started over the fact that Zayn wore colored contacts in his “Like I Would” video — something Azealia felt she’d cornered the market on with her own “Chasing Time” visual. Banks fired off a volley of since-deleted tweets referring to Malik as “punjab,” a “dick rider” and a “paki,” among other insults.

Later last night, Banks also tweeted that Lady Gaga is “OVER”, Rihanna “has been f**ked in evry hole & discarded” and “Nicki Minaj has “sucked Kim dry, nuttin left 4 her 2 steal.”

She then taunted MNEK by tweeting at him, “one of my girls wanted to see if they could fit their dick in ur mouth.” She made allusion to the fact that she reached out to the UK singer-songwriter for a collaboration, but added, “i only offered you dinner b/c we wanted to see if you would give one of my boys a blow job… I don’t really care about you or ur art. I’m sorry for lying and leading you on. :(”

And then there was the whole Twitter battle with Disney starlet Skai Jackson yesterday — which, if you ask us, 14-year-old Skai won by a long shot. Jackson jumped into the mix to defend Zayn. Here’s the PG-rated version of the exchange, and here’s the more garbage-y version.

Eventually, Banks offered up a pile of crap non-apology to everyone but those she ranted against, where she said, “Big apologies to anyone who was offended by any of the things I said. Not sorry I said it. But sorry for the way I made people feel.” Okay, sure. Makes a lot of sense.

Following that nonsense, no-hit wonder Azealia added this today:

Now, I’m not sure why Rinse FM would have booked Banks in the first place to headline its Born & Bred festival in the UK in July, but they’ve since dumped her from the roster following her mega-tirade.

“We have decided to cancel Azealia Banks’ headline appearance at Rinse Born & Bred,” a statement reads. “Rinse Born & Bred is a celebration of rave culture and has been created for everyone. We celebrate inclusivity and equality.”

So maybe hitting her where it hurts — her wallet — will shut her up for at least a week or two? This all makes you long for the two weeks Azealia quit Twitter earlier this year.

By the way, if you’ve grown increasingly bored with Banks’ rants against other musicians, perhaps you’ll enjoy her  political commentary from last weekend, wherein she branded presidential candidate Hillary Clinton a “racist, war mongering murderous butch queen.”

God bless America.
