In May, Azealia Banks caught the wrath of twitter as her account was suspended after she sent out a series of offensive tweets, some in regards to pop star Zayn Malik.

Azealia Banks has made the decision to lighten her skin, a choice she felt the need to explain and defend in a Facebook Live video posted today. The rapper suggests that fans have been asking her questions about her reasoning for the process, which she addresses in the 20-minute clip. 

Most of us were pleasantly surprised to find out Azealia Banks had been suspended from twitter earlier today. The opinionated female has caused a lot of ire on twitter, whether through rants, beefs, or seemingly unnecessary bullying. It seemed the final straw for twitter was her recent racist remarks against Zayn Malik, and then, following that, remarks about "whiteness" being a "mental illness." 

Azealia Banks is known to be pretty controversial on Twitter, but this week, she crossed the line when she decided to attack pop star Zayn Malik with racial slurs, which is likely the reason her Twitter account is not accessible today.

Azealia Banks launched into a one-sided, bigoted Twitter rant against former One Direction singer Zayn Malik last night. She has had numerous ugly incidents on Twitter; this is one of her ugliest moments yet. After Banks implied that Malik's new "Like I Would" music video stole imagery from her "Yung Rapunxel" video, he sent out a subtweet possibly directed at her that read, "I see you reaching but I don't care."

Azealia Banks has opinions, and she has the habit of sharing said opinions, no matter how controversial on twitter. Her twitter deactivation back in March didn't last long, since hopping back on the social platform, she's had words for Iggy Azalea, Sarah Palin, Wale, and we're probably missing a couple names.

It almost seems overdue that two of the most outspoken artists on Twitter hadn't yet come into an all-out face-off, but today, Wale and Azealia Banks made eye contact on the platform, and it wasn't pretty.It all started with a tweet Azealia sent out suggesting that she doesn't feel protected by the black men and black media around her, at which point Wale decided to weigh in, saying "we are all terrified of you . Public embarrassment is a real fear . U prolly have thousands of ppl scared to say anything 2u"

Back in February, two strongly-opinionated females in hip-hop went at each other on twitter. It all started when a random twitter user asked Erykah Badu if she listens to Azealia Banks. Without saying much, Badu quoted the question and put "Tried" beside it. Azealia Banks saw this as shade, and proceeded to extend her claws. "When artists grow old and begin to recognize their own mortality they throw shade at younger spirits," she wrote, and she continued on, even into the next day, despite Badu retracting from the scene.

Azealia Banks has been having a strange back and forth with Sarah Palin over the last two days, beginning with Banks' candid criticism of Palin over what turned out to be a parody article, and leading to an official FaceBook statement from the politician, but the battle is far from over.

Azealia Banks seemingly reached a low point two weeks ago when she publicly encouraged Iggy Azalea to kill herself. But those comments look tame compared to the ones she made about Sarah Palin.

Iggy Azalea opened up about her depression during an interview last week on The Cruz Show. “I don’t know, there were times when I wanted to just quit life," she said of her experiences after the post-"Fancy" backlash. "Sometimes I would drive through the canyons to get to my horses and I would be like what if I just kept driving." Spotting an opportunity, Banks responded with an Instagram comment: “YAAS slavemaster, drive that slave truck right off the canyon,” she wrote.

Azealia Banks has become known for hew social media presence as much as her music, but today, the rapper's very active Twitter account disappeared, but not before she said her farewell."Ok, today, i'm finally making the decision to eject from social media," she wrote. "american media culture is honestly so fucking disgusting and junky and complaining about it is not going to change it. reading shit, seeing stupid ass articles and dumb bitches/bros has just really filled me up with a lot of bad feelings."

Well it looks like there’s a new chapter in the on-going feud between Azealia Banks & Iggy Azalea. On Tuesday, Azealia Banks took to twitter to call out Iggy for her comments made in a recent cover story for Elle Canada.

No stranger to controversy, Azealia Banks took to Twitter last night to announce her support for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election. "I think Trump is the only one who truly has the balls to bust up big business. Hilary is too tied in with them and Bernie has no clout," she wrote. "The other candidates are simply, 'Them hoes over there' #thots."

It’s safe to say that Azaelia Banks loves confrontation, whether she’s going at someone on twitter or getting into a physical altercation, the Harlem rapper can’t seem to stay away from trouble. On Wednesday morning (12/16), Azealia was reportedly arrested again in Manhattan following an alleged attack on a female security guard, Page Six reports.

Azealia Banks is back at it once again. Known for not always being able to keeping her mouth shut on twitter, the NYC rapper had some choice words once again on Tuesday evening that were aimed at Lil Kim and her once former touring partner, K. Michelle.

Welp, usually when we hear about Azealia Banks getting into a fight, it's virtual. She's constantly throwing punches in the twittersphere, but it seems like some of that anger translated into a fight IRL.  TMZ reports that Azealia Banks is currently being investigated by police for allegedly punching a security guard, after he kicked her out of the club. The incident was caught on camera.

The claws come out once again. Azealia Banks recently took aim at Nicki Minaj, calling her music basic, and a month later she's slandering Nicki once more, this time in regards to comments she made during her New York Times Magazine cover story.

Azealia Banks is never more than a hair trigger away from firing off a lengthy Twitter rant. After a video of her flipping out at a flight attendant and calling him a "fucking faggot" hit the web, she fired back, writing “I am bisexual.

Azealia Banks had the internet talking once again yesterday, but for once, it was for something she said outside of Twitter. The New York rapper got into an argument with a flight attendant after getting into it with a passenger. Banks claims the first man hit her before she spit on him and clawed at his shirt, while an eye witness said the man simply put out his hand to stop her from getting by.
