<p><a href="/profile/azealia-banks" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Azealia Banks</a>&#8217; frank demeanor and unwillingness to sugarcoat the truth-as-she-sees-it has occasionally ruffled a few feathers, occasionally sowing animosity with her fellow rappers. Though her talent is seldom denied, many have simply grown tired of Azealia&#8217;s confrontational attitude, even though she has faced industry difficulty since sparking her career with &#8220;212.&#8221; For that reason, it&#8217;s all too often that her cries for help are met with apathy, or worse, open hostility.</p>

<p>Following the &#8220;reactivation&#8221; of Ice Cube on social media, Azealia Banks took to Instagram to send a message to the legendary <a href="/profile/nwa" class="text-word" target="_blank" >N.W.A.</a> veteran. &#8220;Hi Ice Cube. Thanks for the nod to my new single &#8220;Black <a href="/profile/Madonna" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Madonna</a>&#8221; on all platforms now,&#8221; she begins. &#8220;Your white manager Jeff Kwatinietz has stolen all my royalties from my debut album and I was wondering if you could use you influence to get them for me?&#8221; </p>
<p>While she originally penned the message last week, she doubled down this morning with a simple request for her fans. &#8220;Please retweet this until ice cube sees it,&#8221; she captions, highlighting her message. It should be noted that Banks originally signed with Kwatinetz&#8217; company Prospect Park in 2014, and their relationship was originally amicable &#8212; it was there she ended up releasing her long-awaited debut album <em>Broke With Expensive Taste</em>. However, Banks went on to leave Prospect Park in 2015, and it would appear her contract has continued to haunt her today. </p>
