reviews
from

Azealia
isn’t
pleased
with

leaked

Azealia
seemingly
respected
Minaj’s
artistic
decision
and
came
to
Nicki’s
defense
after
the
Chicago
rapper’s
rant
about
her.
Banks
held
nothing
back
as
she
tore
into
the
controversial
lyricist.
On
December
16,
the
32-year-old
took
to
X,
formerly
known
as
Twitter,
to
post
a
series
of
tweets
mentioning
Ye.
“Okay.
Now
I’m
really
pissed
the
f*ck
off,”
she
said.
“Regardless
of
how
I
feel
about
[Pink
Friday
2],
did
fat,
smelly
loser
Kanye
West
really
just
try
to
step
all
over
Nicki’s
release?
Did
I
hear
correctly
when
he
tried
to
take
credit
for
supporting
her
career?????”
Banks
added,
“Did
he
forget
that
Lil
Wayne
and
Young
Money
[Records]
supported
her,
believed
in
her,
and
shared
their
money,
time,
and
resources
with
her
to
launch
a
female
rapper
to
international
icon
status?
Has
Kanye
ever
successfully
launched
any
artist
he
hasn’t
sabotaged
out
of
jealousy?”
Banks’
rants
usually
draw
“Girl,
shut
up”
energy
as
she
unnecessarily
inserts
herself
into
other
celebrities’
business,
leaving
fans
divided.
However,
this
time,
social
media
supported
Azealia’s
perspective.
The
“Anna
Wintour”
rapper
claimed
Kanye
had
halitosis
from
bad
dental
work
following
his
2002
car
wreck
and
called
him
“an
out-of-shape
man-child.”
“I’m
sorry
but
I’m
f*****g
irate
right
now.
Do
you
guys
know
that
Kanye
West
has
intense
halitosis
due
to
the
poorly
done
dental
reconstruction
he
needed
after
his
car
crash?”
Azealia
posted.
“He
has
food
stuck
all
up
and
under
his
veneers
you
can
smell
it
standing
6
ft
away.”
After
a
few
more
searing
tweets
the
“1991”
rapper
typed,
“So
you
were
too
good
to
do
a
sneaker
collaboration
with
Nicki
but
now
want
to
pop
out
when
she’s
showcasing
her
new
work
to
release
a
song
you
asked
her
to
make
more
*holy*
then
turned
around
and
collaborated
with
her
enemy
who
you
ALSO
bad
mouthed?”
She
added,
“Then
bad
mouth
her
in
a
room
full
of
absolute
nobodies?!
He
must
be
smoking
crack.
What
a
pitiful
pitiful
excuse
of
a
man.
And
a
pathological
liar
too.”
Banks
concluded
her
rant
by
demanding
Yeezy
apologize
to
the
Queen
Radio
host.
The
“Barbie
World”
rapper
had
a
much
calmer
approach
when
it
came
to
the
matter.
She
took
to
IG
Live
to
explain
why
she
had
no
interest
in
clearing
the
“New
Body”
verse.
“Now,
when
it
comes
to
Kanye,
that
ship
has
sailed,
alright?”
she
said.
“I
mean
no
disrespect
at
all.
I
just
released
a
fresh
album.
Why
would
I
drop
a
track
that’s
been
out
for
three
years?
Let’s
be
real,
guys.”
Ye
has
now
pushed
his
album
with
Ty
Dolla
$ign
to
New
Year’s
Eve.
Maybe
he’s
hoping
to
change
Nicki’s
mind.
Yet,
Nicki
already
made
it
clear
that
it’s
a
waste
of
time.
Pink
Friday
2
is
available
on
all
streaming
platforms.
