Must-See: Azealia Banks’ Banned ‘Dazed & Confused’ Cover

Published: Wednesday 15th Aug 2012 by Sam

Boisterous femcee Azealia Banks is blowing all the way up…literally. Case, point her controversial cover for ‘Dazed & Confused’ magazine.

The ‘212’ lyricist playfully blows into a condom in the shot, yet not everyone saw the funny side. According to the publication’s distributors, early previews of the issue saw it banned in several countries.

As a rebel with quite the cause, this will no doubt only serve to boost Ms. Banks’ rise in the run-up to the release of her debut album ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’.

Peep more pics below…

    WOW – I dont really know what to say lol – I like her music Im not even going to lie, she is refreshing, and brings something new to the table in terms of musical production/style. She needs to be promoted more though if she is going to chart in the US…

  5. the real xoxo August 15, 2012

    i love her and hate her at the same time if that makes sense.

  6. Viciousss August 15, 2012

    Bad idea on her part.

    I never hear about this chick outside TGJ, she isn’t getting a lot of public attention so getting magazine covers banned when she should be spreading her name as much as possible…kind of dumb.

    As for the photos..:not that good really. Like yeah they’re shocking but they’re not really good either.

    • Stans Make Me LOL August 15, 2012

      Are you serious? You haven’t heard 212 over the airwaves? Where you from @ viciousss?

      • Viciousss August 15, 2012

        212 is all I’ve heard, that’s part of the problem. No other music she’s done has gotten as much public shine.

    I like her or at least I’m checking for her, but this is a no-no. I’m all for risk taking and controversy, but when you’re trying to shock, it falls short and looks cheesy. Contrived and rehearsed controversy never works 😳

  8. im August 15, 2012

    so yesterday one of banks fans was going in on nicki,on r@p up on that van vogue topic talking about how banks is classy and wouldn’t do anything for attention are shock value,i had to ask him/her about the cover here,because i heard about this way before sam slow @ss and i haven’t got a respond from that person yet..like i always say don’t put down someone else fav for something they did because you never know what your fav will do.

  9. lordmir August 15, 2012

    seriously? UGHH

  10. Siberian Prince August 15, 2012

    A hot mess…. why does every female rapper that comes out (besides missy elliott) feels the need to represent s**??? The shits gettin old…

  11. mobwife -operation kill the b!+@# August 15, 2012

    This cheap gimmick b!+@# right here needs to have several ——–> __/__/__/

    • Stans Make Me LOL August 15, 2012

      You have to consider that Azealia Banks is the ONLY female rapper (that I can think of that didn’t come up under a famous male rapper. Foxy Brown had Jay , Lil Kim – Biggie, Nicki – Wayne, Missy – Timberland, Eve – RuffRiders. I’m not knocking these other rappers hustle, but I have to give Azealia credit for breaking into the rap game off of her own back, not a lot of woman in music can say that.

      This pics are not the biznez though, they do look cheap, I like her “Spin” mag cover better

      • LTM August 15, 2012

        Kreayshawn doesnt have a male to back her and shes doing better than Azealia without the controversy to keep her relevant.

  12. mobwife -operation kill the b!+@# August 15, 2012

    Anywho, I love that Fred The Godson track ft the QUEEN BEE Lil Kim! Azealia Banks is trash….

  13. Judge August 15, 2012

    Illuminati mind control programming
    Dumbing down of the population Azealia banks is just another mindless automaton

  14. FAF August 15, 2012

    PURE TRASH

  15. Nick August 15, 2012

    I love her
    their something in her that I like musically
    but she can’t be doing this type of antics early in her career
    you wait 2 or 3 years into your career to pull these stunts off

    Lady Gaga and Janet Jackson are an acception because they blew up fast in the game
    Azealia you got to give us some time to prove yourself that your hear to stay.

  16. Outspoken August 15, 2012

    you killin em Banks!

  17. RG2 August 15, 2012

    WOW SHE REALLY WENT THERE O_O !

  18. TAYLOR August 15, 2012

    I hate that i like this crazy ass girl, she’s funny tho. I think she is wat the rap scene needs.she’s adding something else to it

  19. LTM August 15, 2012

    How classy.

  20. holly mac August 15, 2012

    she a lesbian, what the hell she even need a condo for? besides she more beats then brains anyways.

  21. S****** Blonde August 15, 2012

    Disgusting.

  22. donnell August 15, 2012

    i does seem like she’s kinda trying too hard. a couple of the pics are cute, but the condom thing wasn’t necessary. i get the word play though. as far as it goes with it ruining publicity for her, i doubt it. i’ve never heard of that magazine anyway. what’s funny is i’ve also never heard 212 on the radio. i’m the one putting ppl i know on with her. but overall not a bad shoot.

  23. MISHKA August 15, 2012

    Gurl bye… I’m NOT impressed. *McKayla face*

  24. EWWW August 15, 2012

    She’s blows alright….she’s nasty, should ban her from the internet too. Gross.
