Azealia Banks Slams Lady GaGa After ‘ARTPOP’ Axe / GaGa Responds

Published: Wednesday 28th Aug 2013 by Sam

Axed ‘ARTPOP’ femcee Azealia Banks is back at it. And by “it”, we mean the only thing that’s kept her (relatively) relevant in recent months – Twitter beefing.

The rapper’s latest subject? Lady GaGa.

They may have shared a manager in the power player that is Troy Carter, and now- if suggestions made by Banks are anything to go by- management isn’t the only thing Mother Monster has in common with the 22-year-old.

Want to know why she’s calling the vocalist a copy cat?

Full story below…

Initiating (of course), Banks replied with the following to GaGa’s promotional tweet for her headline show at the iTunes Festival this week:

Moments ago, GaGa tweeted out the following response…

Stationed at her keyboard and ready for an e-war, the ‘212’ quickly clocked back with…

Oh the irony of the “late-est” suggesting anyone else is.

In sourcing a rationale, most are pointing to Banks’ abrupt delete from the feature list on ‘ARTPOP’. Indeed, all but confirmed was the pair’s duet, only for GaGa to announce last week that the 22-year-old will not be on what many have christened the most anticipated album of the decade.

Meanwhile, Banks’ debut ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’ sits unreleased after months of delays and fizzled buzz. Clearly, her focus should be on reviving her own movement rather than obsessing over that of others.

      So??

  6. X rated August 28, 2013

    Azealia always tryna start some s***. She will never be successful with that bitter attitude of hers.. We all know your really mad you didn’t make Gagas album you f****** reject.

  7. Kaya August 28, 2013

    Broke with Expensive Taste is coming out in October/Novemeber and her new single is out this coming month so can y’all sit the f*** down and stop making it seem like she has a fizzled career lol but Gaga is equal to Azealia for me

    • Nate August 28, 2013

      Do you really believe that?

      Listen, until very recently, I stanned for Azealia Banks. But the past year and a half has been disappointment after disappointment.

      This album was supposed to be released during July of last year… July! What is taking so long? Her label is probably watering everything down, as evidenced by the fun—yet generic—”ATM Jam.” Which, by the way, STILL hasn’t been officially released in the US, even though it is clearly a summer song. And it still has no video.

      So that’s going to flop. Do you still honestly think the album is coming out in October/November? And even if by some mircale it does get released this year, it won’t be the Azealia we fell in love with. It’s going to be a watered down version, so she can be more “palatable” to the public.

      I was set free when I stopped holding my breath for this album. You should do the same.

      *plays 1991 EP*

      • LMAO August 28, 2013

        LMAO whats even funnier is that ATM Jam is a Beyonce song that she recorded but later opted out and rejected it… Azaelia needs to focus on her career instead of what others be doing.. her mark isnt so made that people will know whether she did it first or not

    • Patrick August 28, 2013

      What is an Azealia Banks?

    • IGGY GODZALEA August 28, 2013

      Chile bless your heart for still having hope. B**** is struggling to get 100k views on a lyric video. Her career is over before it began. It’s time to move on.

      • Nate August 28, 2013

        No shade, but Iggy Azalea isn’t doing much better. Where is the video for “Change Your Life?” Where is The New Classic?

        She’s being watered down, too. “Bounce” is one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen and heard. She even admitted is was a sell-out record, and it didn’t even do her any good. Sad.

  8. f*** off and die, c u n t August 28, 2013

    This black m***** n***** b**** needs to have several seats. She’s burning ALL her bridges a little too soon, 5 years from now she’ll be on welfare. In this business, you need to be respectful, even if it’s fake and kiss some asses for a while. Stupid nappy hair h**.

    • NICKY August 28, 2013

      LMAOOOOOOOOOO AND CLEARLY YOU WOULDNT TELL THAT TO ANY ONE IN PERSON BECAUSE YOU WOULD GET THAT A S S BEAT THE F U C K DOWN LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

      AWWWWWWWW GO CRY TO MOMMY NOW , P**** A S S B I T C H

        hahahahahahaha ok gorilla

        come at me n*gger….

  9. S****** Blonde August 28, 2013

    I think she’s a good rapper but she’s so arrogant, not to mention that both Gaga and her are f****** annoying, both copy cats, fighting for who’s gonna steal the Mermaid look to pass it as they created the look, hilarious.

    • tits mcgee August 28, 2013

      Exactly! Everything you just said! #LOLZ

    • Fierce & all -Not here for b****** that can only slay in studios August 28, 2013

      Ur fave JT is annoying and overrated too tho so bye….

    • Lovebird (dark horse – prism – 10.22.23) August 28, 2013

      I live for this comment, love you.

  10. matt August 28, 2013

    Poor Azealia, the only thing she had left going for her (a feature on Artpop) and now it’s gone, I’d be mad too if I had my last chance at becoming relevant taken away from me!

  11. tits mcgee August 28, 2013

    So I guess it wasn’t Kimberly. This b**** just loves to argue…

  12. Skye August 28, 2013

    whos Azealia any way? shes a nobody…so stupid to even read this article about her…

    go to helll stupid b****

  13. Truth tea (take a sip) August 28, 2013

    I actually agree with Azealia on this one.
    How would y’all feel if a more successful labelmate did a 180 and started doing the same s*** as you?
    I like both Gaga and Azealia though.

  14. sainthawthorne August 28, 2013

    Not that Gaga even came up with the mermaid concept, but she was doing it before Azealia so im confused as to what her problem is…..’You & I’ video was released 18th August 2011 where gaga is (among other things) a green haired mermaid in a bathtub, the first time Azealia even hyped the whole mermaid, sea punk look was when she released Fantasea in July 2012 and shot the video for Atlantis.

    Chalk it up as another pointless ‘beef’, clearly fighting with Perez Hilton, Angel Haze, GLAAD, Baauer, Diplo, T.I, The Stone Roses, Iggy Azalea, Kreayshawn, A$AP Rocky, Rita Ora, Shystie, Jim Jones, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj, Funkmaster Flex, Lily Allen, Dominique Young Unique, Troy Carter, Dave Holmes & Amanda Brunker hasn’t garnered her enough negative attention

  15. Molly August 28, 2013

    Azeliza pissed all she had left was the artpop feature n now its gone…. Maybe she can get a role on love & hip hop!

  16. RiRi bad August 28, 2013

    Burning all your bridges before your career even officially begun… Smh I cant believe you let that nasty attitude get in your way of making that real money & actually becoming someone in this game im disappointed in you, your a very talented girl but your beefs overshadow it and thats tru tea!

  17. Mother Monster August 28, 2013

    Asszealia were all over you ,you dumb ghetto b**** dont try it with GaGa no one even knows you outside the UK frog looking b**** go play in traffic you salty h**!!!!!!

  18. Rosie August 28, 2013

    At this b**** falling off so hard after 212 that her sole relevance depends on beefing with everyone in the industry and their mother. Arrogance at its finest. She’ll be dropped by next year at this point.
    Dead at her dumbass welfare queen stan hiding.

      • Patrick August 28, 2013

        Why do people get so mean to each other over musical taste and favorite artists? Why cant you just like who you like and be done with it? Like why would anyone care?

    • Rosie August 28, 2013

      Where was D*** Like Lady Gaga when T***** was getting whooped by Katy, Jay Z, Robin Thicke, Viley, and Lana on iTunes when him & the rest of the little cutters said she was debuting at #1?
      The irony.

      • LittleScheisse August 28, 2013

        Lana?!? B**** don’t try to SNEAK ur fave in the mix! LANA was NOWHERE near Gaga on iTunes let alone passed her so STOPIT! Even if APPLAUSE flopped this is like her 10th single! She has so much success over the years! Maybe the public isn’t feeling that sound.. Summertime Sadness EDM Remix won’t last forever… Then u can return to the whole ur d*** muffin top lovin ass came from

  23. Kim Kardashian stan August 28, 2013

    Does Azealia get paid to look a fool on Twitter?

  24. Baby Blanco August 28, 2013

    I can see her getting dropped soon… She doesn’t know how to act…

  25. Baby Blanco August 28, 2013

    I will NOT take @ROSIE on, @FUTURECIARA did it so well the other day… The b**** is wounded. So its the last kick from a dying horse, I will not entertain him 😀

    • Rosie August 28, 2013

      What exactly you drag sis? You’re making a fool out of yourself, your fave is flopping, you’re making three accounts to agree with yourself, you’re still pressed over TB firing you from your job because you were caught posting here on your Obamaphone instead of stuffing burritos for $7 an hour.
      On top of that you disappeared for like a week while even Lovebird dragged you. Kii.

  28. Rosie August 28, 2013

    I feel sorry for this self-hating f** being the only T***** stan left after all the other Cutters disappeared/hung themselves when Awfulause got outsold by Roar everywhere.
    You were called out by Lovebird. That’s how you know it’s time to leave TGJ and get a life.

    • Fierce & all -Not here for b****** that can only slay in studios August 28, 2013

      Lol at you thinking the bum b****** on this site that sit around hating on every artists becuz they have none of their own dont need to get a life either. You, being a prime example. We’re used to shitbird hating and writing nonsense on here. You on the other hand, came out of a blue and joined the bandwagon. Cutters? B****, same could be said about Lana with her dead-sounding music. So take ur own advice and get a life d***…..

  32. TRUTH August 28, 2013

    To call Gaga a flop is a bit redundant. Not to mention Gaga has Car commercials advertising the song.
    Applause did not Flop. Number 2, isn’t bad. Beyonce Stan’s should know. I just feel sorry for Azealia Banks, was really looking forward to her new music & she just got herself fired. Dumb b****….

  33. RLS August 28, 2013

    I used to completely Stan for this woman. HARD. But over the past 12 months I’ve seen her completely destroy
    what was a promising career via nasty outbursts on Twitter.
    Azaelia had the whole industry in her pocket, and music journalists
    LOVED her. She will go down in history as what NOT to do when starting
    a career, and it’s really sad.

    • Fierce & all -Not here for b****** that can only slay in studios August 28, 2013

      It’s ashame cuz she seems to be more talented than Iggy and Yung Rapunxel is more hardcore than anything Iggy has put out. Although, I like Iggy but dunno y she raps in a fake ghetto American accent….kinda weird.

      It might go number one, then the navy will scream how she slays,then when the album comes out she will for the 8th time sell less than 300K. She will release one more top ten single, perform it at the Grammys/vmas, the album will go platinum and she will completely abandon it. The wash, rinse, repeat.

    WAIT!!! Before I read this lemme grab my popcorn and a MYX. This should be good.

  37. The Boy Toy August 28, 2013

    She is a mess. Does she even want a career?

  38. Tisha August 28, 2013

    Azealia has plenty of time to tweet considering that album is never coming out, same reason she has plenty to be bitter about.

    Truth is whatever ‘talent’ she had was always going to be overshadowed by her angry ghetto behavior. The only people beefing all the time are folks who’s careers are on the decline. If you’re beefing 24/7 already and your career hasn’t even launched what does that tell folks? You’re a waste of time and money.

  39. JER August 28, 2013

    Does this b**** even have her own album? BYEEEE

  40. Fierce & all -Not here for b****** that can only slay in studios August 28, 2013

    The GIF>>>

  41. christinastherealtalent August 28, 2013

    Gaga always engaged in some kind of feud and/or controversy with another artist. She needs to start practicing what she preaches. She gets so up in her feelings when people attack her or her monsters but yet she will attack everybody else. She needs to start handling herself with more grace, dignity, and maturity. If somebody makes a negative comment about you or disses in any way the best response you can give them is just not responding at all and focus on yourself, your fans, and music.

    • Fierce & all -Not here for b****** that can only slay in studios August 28, 2013

      But Azealia started it tho so ur comment isn’t valid. And how is a lighthearted harmless GIF getting all in her feelings? She didn’t even @ or mention Azealia….u Xtina fans always trying it but can’t even get ur diva on top again….pff.

  42. TeeKay August 28, 2013

    ok girlie. dont come for gaga unless u ready to get forgotten… all the muggles need to leave her be. she is on top and it would behoove you all to just be appreciative that she ALLOWS you to keep your ‘careers’…k-thanx

  43. IGGY GODZALEA August 28, 2013

    Lmao Gaga basically snatched life from Bankrupt’s career, I see why she’s made. Her only chance was via rumored collabos: Beyonce, Kanye West, and Lady Gaga. Three Kanye albums later (Cruel Summer, Watch the Throne, Yeezus) and no Kanye collabo. The Beyonce collabo ain’t happening since she isn’t releasing this year. And Gaga gave that bitter h** the axe. Her career is dead. ATM Jam can’t even pass 100k with a lyric video. Chances are it will see Yung Rapunxel type success. The only country checking for her is the UK and they’ve lost interest. Oh well.

  44. NO fav! August 28, 2013

    I need some applications for the Navy….I resigned from the Gaga fanbase. Where do i sign up?

    • Fierce & all -Not here for b****** that can only slay in studios August 28, 2013

      You just proved my point.

  46. rIhanna is BIGGER THN BEYONCE EVER WAS August 28, 2013

    When the world looks at dark skin black women, with black parents and no visible admixture, they see Azalia bansk. If she was Rih’s color, popping off like this, people would be more on her side. Because she is so dark, people do not have sympathy that her dad died and she grew up poor. Cheryl Cole, a beautiful white woman, beat up and racially abuse a black woman, yet people of all races love her. Black men love her.

    Iggy Azalia has Harry from One direction, Dr luke, Beyonce, Kanye, Nas, TI, Asap…and the black media riding for her. Who does this dark woman have? No one care about her. She could was told by every black A&R that she was too dark to market, and they did not wanna sign her. This is what I think is the REAL reason she is lashing out. She needs mental help. Dark skin black women often feel the way she does.

    She needs to get help from Doctor and shrink .

    • rIhanna is BIGGER THN BEYONCE EVER WAS August 28, 2013

      Evelyn Lodoza from BBW is violent, bitchy, golddigging, h**, who will attack anyone, and always play the victim. YET she is adored by men and women. WHY? COS is she is wavy, long haired latina. If EV was looked like Azalea banks……she would be the black in laden.

      Azalea pops off on twiiter, but Evelyn bullies people, throws plates and slaps people – even her own friends. She brags about sleeping with people’s men – to their face, disses people who cannot afford to rick Chanel and Tom ford. Yet people adore and think she is bad b**** about that life.

      But look at Azalia banks get treated? They say dark skin peole get stiffer jail time that light skin

      • rIhanna is BIGGER THN BEYONCE EVER WAS August 28, 2013

        That is why people call A banks the n word, kunta kinte, gorilla, a**, man in wig, ugly. People are not REALLY angry about the things she says on Twitter, they are angry at her dark skin, black features and weave afro hair. THAT IS THE REAL REASON SHE GENERATES HATRED OVER Evelyn and rihanna, who run their mouth too.

        This black m***** n***** b**** needs to have several seats. She’s burning ALL her bridges a little too soon, 5 years from now she’ll be on welfare. In this business, you need to be respectful, even if it’s fake and kiss some asses for a while. Stupid nappy hair h**.

    no lies, i love how creative this chick is and Azealia’s flow is just so refreshing in this Snicki dominated female mc game.. but i’m seriously DONE with the chicks poor ass attitude. NO ONE WILL WORK WITH YOU IF YOU KEEP ACTING UP B****; stop pretending like you’re the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ! Damn, you got an ego bigger than Kanye’s and your career hasn’t EVEN jumped off yet girl. calm the fk down & make peace with all of those demons in your head and the enemies you’ve created before you end up like Christina Milian! Her career is DONE cuz of her poor ass attitude with EVERYONE SHE WORKED WITH! i had serious hope in you too, just a damn shame.
