Making her mark in music as well as in fashion, today saw the arrival of news that will sure to leave many of her detractors green- or Plum Cream- with envy.
Why, you ask?
Well, months before the release of her debut album ‘Broke With Expensive Taste‘, she has inked a deal with the esteemed folk over at Mac Cosmetics.
Full story below…
This September, Ms. Banks will release the ‘Yung Rapunxel‘ lipstick in partnership with the company, who have also teamed up with Lady GaGa, Cyndi Lauper and Nicki Minaj on similar ventures in the past.
Available online from September 5th and in all New York MAC stores from the 6th, the product will be available for purchase up until the 20th where it is scheduled to be discontinued.
On the deal, the Rapper tweeted:
Little Zee Zee has a MAC LIPSTICK !!!!!

I LOOOOVE that colour. Very gothic but versatile enough to suit any style. Certainly better than Nicki’s stupid Hello Kitty/Polly Pocket bubble-yum hue for 8 year olds trynna look like Bratz Dolls.
Get.

You’re obviously pressed about A.B. for some reason. Could it be that Nicki is no longer a RAPPER and a newer, younger, more creative girl is taking her shine? Or is that Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is barely gold after almost 5 months? Or how about the face that she’s on a decline after her 2nd album?
You mad. LOL

The reason why azealia is getting attention is because she is hugely, hugely talented! Even her haters say “she needs to watch her attitude and cuss less, but she got bars”. It’s hard to deny. She isn’t all about a blonde ponytail or an a$$ inflated with a bike pump. We all know that for a girl her complexion, no matter how beautiful, if she wasn’t a genuine big talent, nobody would be checking for her. She got where she is on talent. She’s getting covers and fashion deals because she has charisma and that star quality

@Cecily, see you’ve told the truth & people cannot take it.
Ladies & Gentlemen, the world is STILL very much biased against people who have a darker skin tone, regardless of how beautiful they are. Sorry to stick a fork in your so-called “post racial” ideology.
The fact is A B is beautiful but she has gotten where she is b/c she is talented. She is fresh, innovative and, plainly, dope.
If you can’t take her, you’re probably too used to championing the lessors who are light-skinned and untalented but are given the time of day b/c they are read as “beautiful.” Yawn.
Yeah, I said it….WHAT ? !
