Report: Azealia Banks Signs With Lady GaGa Manager

Published: Wednesday 18th Apr 2012 by David

Azealia Banks isn’t messing around.

For, after her groundbreaking set at Coachella last weekend, she has pulled what some might call an power move of epic proportions.

She has enlisted Lady GaGa‘s manager to take control of her career.

Exciting details below…

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Banks parted ways with her old management three days ago and signed with the Atom Factory, headed by Lady GaGa mastermind Troy Carter.

She tweeted:

 Just switched management.. Literally like three days ago, and have a whole new set of resources to take advantage of.

Sure to add further weight to celebrated cause, Banks’ partnership with Carter follows an alleged attempt by Nicki Minaj to sign with him, following her split from Bad Boy exec Diddy who managed the star up until 2010.

In what goes without saying, this is a very big deal.

For, with Troy Carter on board, Banks is sure to enjoy the notoriety many thought her niche sound would rob her of.

As well as this, it also is a major slap in the face to any who believed Azealia was a here today gone tomorrow kind of act and so treated her as such.

Congratulations.
