Azealia Banks Goes Off On T.I. and Iggy

The new wave of Twitter shots was preceded by Banks’ radio chat with Ebro on HOT 97. Staying away from media, the Harlem raptress rarely gives any interviews yet this time around she opened up and got as emotional as possible. Addressing her beef with the Aussie native, she did not spare any negative comments and went all in on Iggy Iggs. Here are the most memorable quotes related to her rap enemy

“That Macklemore album wasn’t better than the Drake record. That Iggy Azalea shit is not better than any fu**in’ black girl that’s rapping today.”

“The Grammys are supposed to be awards for artistic excellence… Iggy Azalea’s not excellent. I have a problem when you’re trying to say that it’s hip-hop and you’re trying to put it up against black culture.”

“Nicki Minaj over the past two, three, four years has done so much to create this social presence, like consciousness, and then here you go. She’s like Re-Up and Roman Reloaded, and here go fu**in’ Iggy like Reclassified. It’s like a cultural smudging was what I see.”

“When they give these Grammys out, all it says to white kids is, ‘You’re great. You’re amazing. You can do whatever you put your mind to.’ And it says to black kids, ‘You don’t have shit. You don’t own shit, not even the shit you created yourself.’ And it makes me upset.”

“Put [Iggy] in the pop category. Put her and Miley Cyrus in the same fu**in’ box together. Don’t put her in hip-hop. Just because she’s singing, does not mean she’s rap music.”

Later, both took it to Twitter for lengthy rants. Peep their tweets in the gallery below.
