Currently housing ‘He Won’t Go’ singer Adele and formerly home to ‘Bad Girls‘ beauty MIA, ‘XL Recordings‘ once found themselves tasked with building a star out of a teenage Azealia Banks.
Alas, despite her close ties to the likes of Diplo and the talent honed and perfected at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School, she was dropped…booted from the label she had hoped would her to the heights attained by one-time schoolmate, Nicki Minaj.
Want Azealia’s take on the matter?
Peep her explanation of her short-lived run at the label with Viacom‘s MTV below!

She’s mad talented but her attitude gets in the way.
wait, so, I’m confused… this is old news? She’s still with her current label? If so, this article misleading.
If she got her act together she could come for Onika’s wig.
Reading comprehension is so key though. Anybody who read the article would have seen that this is about her talking about being dropped in the PAST before she went to Interscope.
I deadass thought this was about Interscope until I read the first line.
She should go back there 2bh.
Ppl keep saying she’s so talented. Every song she raps on has the same beat with the same cadence. I’m not seeing it. Licorice was her best song, IMO. Part of talent is versatility. Nicki can do pop, hip-hop, reggae, latin… I keep hearing Azealea on this house/trance music
The only thing Azealia has over Nicki is that she’s a better performer, Nicki is so lazy live.
Once Nicki works on her live shows she’ll be fire cos at this point I don’t know what she’s paying Laurieann for.
Thank you FAF, finally somebody sees what I see. She raps the same flow, same songs, same way all the time. Nothing about her is different, they all sound the same. I don’t remember anything she did except 212. She has a style and flow no one is here for. I never understand anything she raps about because she raps so fast and it sounds like a jumbled mess.
Isn’t she American?
At the very worst, she’ll buy an apartment, get her pension and live her life. Nothing to worry about, totally safe!
You worry about Britney and I’ll worry about Onika. Capiche?
Sorry but Azealia would destroy Nicki on stage.
@TurntUp4Cici Why don’t worry you worry about OnetrickPonyAra who has been doing street dance for the last ten years, as if she’s never heard of jazz, tap or f****** ballet.
I really want to know where Ciara fans get off talking about Nicki’s live performances when Ciara has been doing the same thing forever.
Puhlease! Nicki has been around since 2007 and has NEVER given an iconic performance to date. In fact, I challenge everyone here to name one Nicki performance that will stand the test of time. I beg you to name.
ReptitionYonce stans talking about other b****** be boring? Ok.
Lmao @ someone trying to come for ciara’s stage presence… lol are you serious… Ciara is the only Black female that can be put in the same sentence as Janet,Beyonce, and Michael Jackson when it come to the stage…. She is a beast out here… Unlike Nicki who is a Rapper trying to dance… Leave the dancing to the R&B and POP divas and just stick to spitting a 16…. ( 16 bars for the slow one out there) and Beyonce has step her game up recently on her dance moves also
I just haven’t got into Azealia…
I agree, she was nice and chill in this clip. I hope she releases broke with expensive taste asap..at least by summer!
She talented but her attitude is trash. Regardless she’s huge in the Middle East and Asia. According to Forbes they labeled Hip Hop cash cow. She pulled in millions with no hit singles no albums just tours. I was in Turkey and they go crazy when her songs come on. Nicki not so much over here
Lol Flopzealia didn’t rake in millions last year and Forbes didn’t name her a cash cow. No need to stretch the truth and inflate. She only made a million and that was from festivals. What has she done in 2014? Absolutely nothing. She’s gotta be the dumbest girl to ever be signed. Did she really think all those Twitter fights would serve as promo and build up a fan base? Lmao! She’ll be dropped from Interscope soon.
She seems to have a bad attitude. So i pretty much saw this coming.
On a web sight they name her and angel haze the ugly rappers
With talent but anyways like male rappers said if female rappers are not fine
And s*** they do want to buy a shirt or poster an you ugly she got a mad flow but y’all know she
Ain’t s*** and angel haze when I find the web page I link it here
No shade just light
ill drop this hoee to with a mouth like hers! if her consistency was as quick as her foul mouth, shell be far!
she reminds me of a new generation foxy,she’ll be finished before the new year is in!!! =)
