Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks’ Feud Just Got Even More Pointed

Amethyst Amelia ‘Igloo Australia’ Kelly and Azealia Banks have been taking increasingly angry social media pot shots at one another for the past few weeks, and this feud shows no sign of slowing down. 

During a recent, lengthy interview with the Hot97, Banks laid out her position against Iggy and others, for what she sees as their appropriation of black culture and music.

She also laid into the media for focusing on her frequent Twitter outbursts rather than her broader message, and at times got so passionate she actually cried.

Iggy immediately hit back with a series of angry Tweets:

Special msg for banks: There are many black artists succeeding in all genres. The reason you haven’t is because of your piss poor attitude.

Your inability to be responsible for your own mistakes, bullying others, the inability to be humble or have self control. It’s YOU!

— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) December 19, 2014

you created your own unfortunate situation by being a bigot and don’t have the mental capacity to realize yet. Probably never will.

Now! rant, Make it racial! make it political! Make it whatever but I guarantee it won’t make you likable & THATS why ur crying on the radio.

Enjoy continuing to bang your head against that metaphoric brick wall & Savor this attention. I’m the only way you get ANY.

You’re poisonous and I feel genuinely sorry for you because it’s obvious at this point you are a MISERABLE, angry human being. Regards!

Banks quickly followed suit, accusing ‘Iffy Azuzu‘ of playing the victim and failing to understand her broader points:

Dear LordT, I Pray for this Clueless White Girl.

But, iffy azuzu will not play victim and make this about her, I made some very valid points about things that are important to me.

— CATTY NOIR (@AZEALIABANKS) December 19, 2014

Things in society and culture. Things that really resonated with a lot of people.

— CATTY NOIR (@AZEALIABANKS) December 19, 2014

Banks clearly does feel passionate in her beliefs about cultural appropriation; Iffy Azuzu is clearly fed up with the fact that Banks won’t stop attacking her at every possible opportunity.

Amidst the anger, both raise seemingly valid points, and there’s really no easy way to sum the situation up, except to say that an Iggy feat. Azealia track (or the other way around) would be a pretty incendiary prospect at this point.
