Azealia Banks Talks Privileged Childhood With ‘T Magazine’

Get familiar with Azealia Banks‘ spread in ‘T Magazine‘, ahead of her debut album ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’.

Detailing a very interesting childhood in the publication, the starlet’s stint in the mag comes days after ‘getting into it’ with Iggy Azalea on Twitter, over XXL’s 2012 Freshman cover.

Her story below…

We lived in Harlem just, like, at the beginning of its gentrification…but my mom had our apartment since she was 18, she worked a retail job, but she worked on commission.

So she made like, maybe, 75 or $80,000 a year, but our rent was so cheap since it was, like, rent-controlled, so our rent was, like, $300 a month for a two-bedroom apartment, so we always had extra money.

I grew up very spoiled…like I had everything: I had computers, I had video games, I had dress-up clothes, I had lipstick, I had heels—not like, actual heels, play heels—I had dolls, I had birds, I had hamsters—my mom did a reallygood job of keeping me stimulated.

Undoubtedly the best femcee to ’emerge’ within the last year, we can’t wait to see what Banks’ debut serves up. Clearly just as interesting as she is talented, it’s only a matter of when and not if the rest of the world catches on.

But what do you think?

 

Are you feeling her?

    Granted I was born and raised in Columbia,SC but if that normal s*** that she described constitutes ” privileged” , I would dare like to see poverty there. WTH…
