Beyonce Enlists Azealia Banks For New Album

Published: Friday 11th Jan 2013 by David

Beyonce is coming for blood.

The above, albeit a little extreme, is the safest way to describe the force that is her latest album campaign- following the release of 2011’s ‘4‘. Now, as to boost momentum for the release, ‘Luxury‘ belle Azealia Banks has revealed that she contributed to the album, due out in a matter of months.

Her news below…

In a recent interview for ASOS, she revealed:

“I actually did something for her record in Miami a couple weeks ago. “I really didn’t want to say it because I didn’t want to jinx it ’cause you know how that sh*t goes.”

Fans can look forward to Azealia‘s debut album ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’ in the coming weeks, which will feature contributions from Adele collaborator, Paul Epworth.

As far as Beyonce goes, February 3rd will see her take to the Superbowl 2013 Halftime Show to perform a medley of her greatest hits and cuts from the hotly anticipated new album- marking her fifth since 2003’s ‘Dangerously In Love’.

    I WONDER IF NICKI WILL BE ON THE ALBUM HMMMM IF SHES NOT OOOOOO HONEY THAT SHADE WOULD BE SO THICK

    • oh baby (b****** will Deal) January 11, 2013

      I never thought I’d share the same sentiments as you, but it happened! I couldn’t agree with your comment any more! Azealia is my favourite female rapper out right now! I like nicki for her interviews tihi. 🙂

      • Monstarebel (HoneyChildPlease Mothered This H**) January 11, 2013

        lol…Nicki & Azealia are my favorite female rappers those B****** are dope as fuuuuck!!

      • truth(slayer of icki funky ass stans B****!!) January 11, 2013

        hoez calm yall p****** down til you hear it from the GODDESS. hoez.

    • Everyone’s A Critic January 11, 2013

      What shade? I’ve seen beyonce dance and sing along to a nicki song. Clearly she’s fond of nicki, but it doesn’t mean she needs to have her on a track. I don’t think a nicki and bey collab would work, nicki isn’t hard enough. Azealia is like a machine gun when she raps. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR she shoots down all the other female rappers in the game.

    • HoneychildPlease January 11, 2013

      LOL @ Monstarebel hahaha durling loving your name, loving your name!!! My child you do your mother proud durling!

      • PSA (FAF) January 11, 2013

        LOL @ nicki isn’t hard ..

        have u listened to “Playtime is over?”

        “Sucka Free?” “Beam Me up scotty?”

        hell, “beez in the trap,” “up in flames” from her 2 new albums?

        Sit downE f*** !

    • Trini_Minaj January 11, 2013

      I don’t see this as shade, I see it as a precautionary move. No one would be checking for azealia on a Beyonce song, but Nicki on the hand just may manage to overshadow Bey on her own song. When Nicki features on your song, its no longer your song.

      Never say it can’t be done, look what she did to Kanye and Jay Z on Monster, and what has done to Mariah on Idol. No one’s really tuning in for boring Mariah.

      King bey and Queen Nicki till the death of me!

  3. ENOUGH ONIKA (0 GRAMMY NOMS…) January 11, 2013

    HELLO! THIS GONNA BE SONG OF THA YEAR IF RUMORS ARE TRUE!!! In Bey’s promo shot, she’s wearing ear rings that say Ratchet. Azealia said she worked on a song called Ratchet. Rihanna tweeted “#Ratchets – I’m your biggest fan I’ll follow you until you love me”

    THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING AND I CAN NOT WAIT IF THIS IS TRUUUUUUUUE!!!!

    But I am stoked to hear Bey’s new material

    B****, just because you were asked to contribute to a song, doesn’t mean you or the song made the cut -_-

    *Crosses fingers and hopes not*

  11. QUEEN MINAJ January 11, 2013

    I WANTED A COLLAB WITH BEYONCE FIRST :”(
    SHE IS SHADING ME SO HARD

    • truth(slayer of icki funky ass stans B****!!) January 11, 2013

    So excited about all of this!!! Loves Azealia and y’all know bey is my fav! !for them to work together. …chileeeee! But does Azealia produce music? Or is she gonna be featured on a song with Slayonce?

  14. hjgjh January 11, 2013

    STILL WAITING FOR BEYONCE TO COLLAB WITH RIHANNA… AND NICKI TOO

    • Everyone’s A Critic January 11, 2013

      Bey can’t just collab with anyone. They have to be at her level or above. Beyonce will OVERshadow rihanna, no shade, just fact. And nicki doesn’t seem to say anything anymore. It’s always just about sons, bums and her achievements…oh and another introduction because we don’t know that her name is ONIKA but we can call her NICKI -_-

      • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys January 11, 2013

        No beyonce will not overshadow Rih. Rih is the younger, hotter more popular singer with more pop white fans, who do not know or care about some old fat woman who does rnb

      • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys January 11, 2013

        Even Emimen could not oevrshadow Rih on his own track.

      • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys January 11, 2013

        FACT

      • Everyone’s A Critic January 11, 2013

        I’m talking in terms of TALENT…you know. Something called vocals. Beyonces voice would swallow rihs voice! The producers would have to turn Rih dafuq up!!!

      • PSA (FAF) January 11, 2013

        @Everyones a Critic

        she can do that ! B/c its FACT !

  15. J January 11, 2013

    Omg!!!!!! I cant f****** wait!!!!!!

    Rihanna tweeted RATCHET??!!!

    Lord I cant – SONG OF THE F****** YEAR

  16. Bryan Dossome January 11, 2013

    I hope she schooled Azealia on how to act professional….truth be told,i’ve never thought highly of beyonce or her music but if pitted against the basic b****** on the hot 100 right now,its her i will choose….2013 has JT,BEY,MC,MAXWELL,GAGA owning it

  17. SLAYRIAH CAREY January 11, 2013

    Congrats GURL ( if its true). It’s about time that a REAL female rapper came along. <3

  24. You Wanna Bey Me January 11, 2013

    I don’t know Bey O_o……..I can’t understand what that chick is saying half of the time.

  25. Sweet Life January 11, 2013

    I swear I’m not surprised. I mean, I’m just waiting for the day Aunt Jemimah grabs on a Grammy as a featured artist on Methuselah’s new album or some s*** like that…

  26. KC January 11, 2013

    Miguel, Azelia… yep Beyonce has a good eye/ear! She dont just pick anyone to collab with.

    • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys January 11, 2013

      Rih collab are GLOBAL HIS AND MAKE PEOPLE FAMOUS.

  27. King B>Rihanna January 11, 2013

    I like Azealia so I don’t have a problem with it.

  28. King B>Rihanna January 11, 2013

    Beyonce new documentary is named Life Is But A Dream

  29. RoyalKev January 11, 2013

    I really don’t know about this … I wish Azealia success, but I can’t get excited about Bey collaborating with her. #No hate … They’re just apples and oranges! I’m also shocked to see so many people that hate Bey jumping for joy because Azealia’s possibly get the chance to work with her. O_0 … I guess I’m a bit overprotective when it comes down to who my favs pair up with. I’m not here for most of these rumored collabs that people are excited about. If a certain scenario plays out I’m soooo not on board for it!

    • RoyalKev January 11, 2013

      If AB is a part of the album I prefer her to be featured on the single (and not producing or writing on the track).

    • ƸӜƷ MC ƸӜƷ January 11, 2013

      That’s actually an interesting point. However I think if she collaborate with Kanye, Jay-Z, etc it will work with Azealia Banks.

  30. TeamEveandMissy January 11, 2013

    Ooooooooo Queen Bey is coming to destroy 2013!!! Get ready…..now that y’all kno that already back to Azealia …..dis will be big for her lady gaga has confirmed,kayne has confirmed,missy has been confirmed so I hope dis is true. Lmfao at fake plastic ass nicki and her dirty rotten barbz not getting a feature with the Queen Bey. Yasssssss I luv the shade that bey don’t want to work with nicki. Beyonce doesn’t align herself with disrespectful plastic gimmicks or disrecpectful women in the industry bcuz all nicki will do is get on a song and diss other femcees and my girl missy is the only other female rapper that bey loves to work with and she’s about respect and unity unlike nicki. Azealia has attitude but she want disrepect others that paved the way for her which is why she maybe featured. Bye haters

    • PSA (FAF) January 11, 2013

      ooo keep typing has eve hit a mil views yet ?

      and Azealia about unity calling ppl f****** that dont like her ?

      LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

      She’s got a lot going on. 2013 in general for music is shaping up to be an eventful year, one not to miss.

  39. LTM January 11, 2013

    Shes lied about things before (see the Kanye collabo that never happened and saying she was going to open for Nicki). I’ll wait for Beyonce to confirm

  40. ƸӜƷ MC ƸӜƷ January 11, 2013

    I never imagined them working together but I guess it could work.

  41. Pop Royalty January 11, 2013

    WOW.

  42. MISHKA January 11, 2013

    Onika is not going to like this …. Oops!

  43. DeezNuts January 11, 2013

    *Claps Hands* I doubt she’ll make the final cut though. Beyonce doesnt really have a lot of features on her albums. But good For her.

    HOWEVER lets not ignore the fact that Azealia’s album is coming in one month and she has No Promo (besides twitter beefs) and hasnt even released her first single. She needs to step it up a little if she wants good numbers.

    • PSA (FAF) January 11, 2013

      I heard she was dropped for using gay slurs on twitter…

      good luck w/ that FLOP album

      LMFAO !

    It Would Be Nice For Miss Banks If This True Cause The B**** Is Talented, But She’s Been Doing Toooo Much Lately With Her Potty Mouth And She’s Been Lying For So Many Collaboration We Haven’t See Yet…

  45. mc the place to be! January 12, 2013

    Beyonce collab with someone that’s new and haven’t even did anything yet this is shocking a lot of people can’t say they collab with Beyonce on a few songs except your jayz
