AZEALIA Banks has launched into a huge homophobic and racist Twitter rant
against Zayn Malik after she accused him of ripping off her style.
The controversial rapper used abusive and foul-mouthed language against the
attacked the former One Direction star calling him a “token sand n****” and
a “f*****”.
It all started when she took exception to the music video for his new song
Like I Would and claimed its futuristic style looked just like her Yung
Rapunxel video.
Taking to her Instagram page, she posted a collage of images taken from both
their videos and wrote: “Damn Zayn be mood boarding the s**t out of me…
I’m not mad about this though. Zayn is a cutie pie.”
The image also went out on her Twitter page and although Zayn didn’t respond
directly to her, he wrote: “No lies… I see you reaching but I don’t care.”
She replied: “Dude, I make better music than you. Simmer down with that fake
white boy rebellion and that wannabe Bieber swag.”
But it was his final retort of, “My @’s too good for you,” that got her gloves
off and her claws out as her racist and homophobic remarks began – and
didn’t stop.
She wrote: “You a d*** rider for real for real. Ride this d*** until the
wheels fall off Punjab.”
Then there was absolutely no stopping her as she continued: “What isn’t a
reach is that a 4 track EP scored higher on metacritic than ur debut album,”
before posting a photo of Zayn and tweeting as though she was him, “trying
to make myself known but I’m still known as the token sand n****from 1D”.
She then accused Zayn of giving out her number to his fans and wrote, “Lol,
Zayn b**** a** gave my cell number out to his fans 2 ours ago. If that’s not
some f***** s*** who knows what is!?”
But she wasn’t quite finished as she added, “Lol all the one diretioners are
hitting up the Azealia Banks hotline! So Many new fans!” and then wrote: “Ok
little wyt kids I def like Zayn and def think he’s a cutie pie. Please stop
calling me n***** LOL.”

In light of this, it was announced today that she will now not be appearing at
the Rinse FM Born & Bred Festival next month.
In a statement posted on their Facebook page, organisers of the event, which
takes place in Hackney, London on 4th and 5th of June, said they had taken
the decision to cancel her headline set.
They said: “Rinse Born & Bred Festival is a celebration of rave
culture and has been created for EVERYONE. We celebrate inclusivity and
equality.”
Meanwhile, Azealia’s rants soon spread across Twitter to the point that she
was trending and users soon started voicing their concerns for what had just
happened.
One wrote, “I don’t want my kids to grow up in a world where people like
Azealia Banks exist,” while another added: “Azealia Banks must be on drugs
you know, this ain’t even funny she actually needs help.”
Some saw the funny side to it though with one writing: “Oh my god, I’ve had
literally an entire night’s sleep and Azealia Banks is still going?!”
However, it took 14-year-old Disney star Skai Jackson to finally shut Azealia
down once and for all when she tweeted, “Azealia Banks needs to simmer down
a little”, adding: “When a no hip having 14 year old has more class than
you. Worry about your career. Get one.”
When Azealia then accused Skai’s mother of “pimping her out to Disney”, Skai
replied: “ I had a career before Disney and I’m sure I will after! And I
know I won’t turn out like you bitter and miserable! Fix ur life.”
