Harlem rapper Azealia Banks is in hot water with the Beyhive collective once again, after taking more shots at Beyonce’s, Lemonade project. Originally Banks came under fire for shading Beyonce’s acting skills as well as being the antithesis of what a feminist is according to her. However, it appears as though she’s not through with Queen Bey just yet, after going in on a full out Twitter rant where she accused the singer of being a creativity poacher as well as saying, “she needs to stay under Jay Z’s foot.”
Early last week Banks took to twitter to giver her unbridled opinion about Beyonce’s Lemonade project. Never one to be mum or hold her tongue, the “212” rapper unleashed a wrath of fury when she began a series of tweets claiming that Beyonce indeed was not the representation of what the feminist movement is all about, and even called her out for exploiting the black cause as a means to sell records. Although it appeared as though we had heard the last on the topic, Banks went in on a fan when she tweeted, @AZEALIABANKS I luv ya girl but this narrative is SUPER important to BW as our pain/humanity is too often unacknowledged by the whole world.” In response to the young woman Banks tweeted, “she needs to stay under Jay-z's foot where she belongs, and stay out of the creative woman's way.”
Needless to say, this started a healthy debate with the quarrelsome rapper who was very insistent that Beyonce was looking to capitalize on a national conversation, without ever speaking on it, which in Banks’ opinion made her an opportunist.
See full tirade above. Do you think Banks is right, or way off base with this one?
