Azealia Banks’ Ebola Twitter Rant: She Thinks She’s Got This Crisis All Figured Out, Everyone!

With no release date in sight for Azealia Banks‘ perpetually-delayed debut album, the label-less rapstress apparently has a lot of time on her hands. Hence the pearls of extreme wisdom she’s been dishing out on Twitter this week, such as giving her two cents on Snoop Dogg and Iggy Azalea‘s since-resolved spat and, now, the global Ebola crisis.

United Nations secretary general Ban Ki-moon has launched an appeal for donations to a trust fund aimed at fighting the deadly disease. But Banks doesn’t really see the point in people coughing up money, as her tweets from this morning indicate. Rather, she believes the government has the solution at its fingertips: Just print more money, which can then be burned after Ebola goes away!

Sure, that might very well cause the world’s currency to become worthless and the entire financial system to collapse, but, hey — #YOLO!

Sure, thanks for this, Azealia. A for effort.
