It would appear The Mermaid has a bone to pick with The Barbie.
Indeed, despite growing up in the same city, attending the same school and sharing a common enemy in Hip Hop darling Lil Kim, there seems to be no love lost between ‘212‘ gem Azealia Banks and ‘Roman Holiday‘ genius Nicki Minaj.
Find out why below…
On Monday, Ms.Banks found herself in embarrassing territory when she claimed she had been invited on Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday World Tour‘, only to be labelled a liar when the MC tweeted “#ManTheseB*tchesDelirious” in response.
So in retaliation, Azealia took to Twitter minutes ago to spew the following:

Though their spat may appear to have come out of the blue, members of Banks’ fan base ‘The K*ntz’ seem to have taken offence when her rival refused to acknowledge her existence in interviews following Summer Jam 2012.
For, when discussing the night’s events with DJ Funkmaster Flex and Power 105’s ‘The Breakfast Club’ subsequently, Minaj referred to herself as ‘the only woman on the bill’- despite Azealia taking to the stage just hours before.
All this, after Azealia ruffled feathers when she told VIBE in March:
I think a lot of the things she started doing with her look were distracting.
I think she’s talented enough to sustain a very fruitful career without the ugly wigs and ugly costumes.
In response to Banks’ tweets, social networking users have chimed in with:
