Azealia Banks has blasted British pop star Lily Allen for what the provocateur calls random racism in direction of Beyoncé.
Taking to her Instagram Tales on Saturday (April 6), Banks reposted a narrative that featured Allen criticizing Cowboy Carter — one thing Banks, herself, has accomplished — telling her to “sit this one out.”
“We could talk about that cellphone name to me – a number of years in the past – clearly off your face – crying and sobbing asking me to forgive you for randomly being racist?” she started, referring to the feud that the pair had eleven years in the past that concluded with Banks telling Allen that her then-husband, Sam Cooper, “seems to be like a thumb,” per The Guardian.
She continued: “And I quote, effectively, I simply figured since I’m a white lady and also you’re just a few Black lady that I may shit on you…”
Banks then proceeded to offer what she known as a blow-by-blow description of what the dialog between the 2 entailed.

Paradoxically, Azealia Banks herself has ceaselessly criticized Beyoncé, claiming that the ex-Future’s Youngster singer is partaking in “white lady cosplay.”
In a scathing assault posted on her Instagram Story on March 19, the controversial rapper began out by evaluating the “Texas Maintain ‘Em” singer to quite a few recognizable names in popular culture.
“Sis, I stay for Whiteyonce Donatella Bianca Bardot DOWN, however I’m sort of ashamed at how [you] swap from Baobab timber and Black Parade to this literal choose me stuff,” she started.
Azealia then implied that Bey went above and past for the Dixie Chicks as a result of they have been white girls, however that the identical courtesy would by no means be prolonged to her.
“Like u do lame stuff like deliver out some blacklisted white girls (Dixie Chicks) on the Nation Music Awards. and they’d by no means, ever do the identical for you. Ur all the time sharing ur platform with white girls, who’re so jealous of you however have such an extended historical past of sabotaging different black careers,” she wrote. “You’re reinforcing the false rhetoric that nation music is a post-civil battle artwork kind.”
After questioning why Beyoncé would try to interrupt into an artwork kind that didn’t make her really feel welcomed, Azealia Banks roasted “16 Carriages,” claiming that it “didn’t make any sense.”
“Had you made an important nation track … going primary must be the headline with out the bizarre race half,” she concluded. “However like Kelsea Ballerini and Carrie Underwood have higher songs than no matter nauseating little Bey on the prairie stuff is happening.”
