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.
Just been told our upcoming
@azealiabanks cover has been banned from 7 countries so far. Thank God for the Internet, huh?— Dazed and Confused (@DazedMagazine) August 8, 2012
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…
Shes’ hot and her skin is like chocolate mmm 🙂 mad talented. Love it when she raps then switch to singing. She has a great voice. Different
OMG!!! Is she Serious????
What a f****** liar. 7 Countries when it’s only being released in the U.S.
Please stfu
I would if her head blows LOL
i love her and hate her at the same time if that makes sense.
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.
Are you serious? You haven’t heard 212 over the airwaves? Where you from @ viciousss?
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 😳
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.
seriously? UGHH
A hot mess…. why does every female rapper that comes out (besides missy elliott) feels the need to represent s**??? The shits gettin old…
This cheap gimmick b!+@# right here needs to have several ——–> __/__/__/
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
Kreayshawn doesnt have a male to back her and shes doing better than Azealia without the controversy to keep her relevant.
Anywho, I love that Fred The Godson track ft the QUEEN BEE Lil Kim! Azealia Banks is trash….
Illuminati mind control programming
Dumbing down of the population Azealia banks is just another mindless automaton
PURE TRASH
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.
you killin em Banks!
WOW SHE REALLY WENT THERE O_O !
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
How classy.
she a lesbian, what the hell she even need a condo for? besides she more beats then brains anyways.
Disgusting.
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.
Gurl bye… I’m NOT impressed. *McKayla face*
She’s blows alright….she’s nasty, should ban her from the internet too. Gross.
Shes Dope Lol I Love This
