Azealia Banks wants everyone to know that she isn’t to blame for her violent run-in with the actor Russell Crowe.
Currently facing fire from Crowe’s PR camp as they seek to discredit her claims, the rapper made her way to the British publication ‘The Sun‘ to explain how a night of fun and flirting turned into a night of Hollywood hell.
Banks’ side of the story below…
Russell had moonshine on the table, and then Russell calls for whisky, so then they just start mixing them up.You know, moonshine, whisky, vodka, and smoking cigarettes and smoking weed. Russell and I get next to each other. He’s talking to me, I’m talking to him, and we start flirting. We’re having a really good time. He’s got his knee on my knee, he’s touching my leg, I’m playing him my music, he tweets my song The Big Big Beat.
“He’s like, ‘I love this, you’re beautiful, this is great.’
So the party goes on. But there was one girl who I guess was his girlfriend.
“She gets next to me and I guess this is just her chance to try and size me up and see what I’m about.
“And she’s in my ear and she’s like, ‘Yeah, Russell thinks you’re so hot.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, really? Well that’s on you girl.’ You know, I’m not here for that.”
The rapper says things took a turn for the worst when she laughed at an aspiring horror film maker who was also in the room.
Russell just kind of switched. He was like, ‘Well you know what? You’re young and you’ve never done anything in your career so you don’t know what you’re talking about.’ I’m a little offended but I was still keeping it light. I was like, ‘Your best days are behind you.’”
According to Azealia, a female friend of the actor stepped in to scold her.
“I said, ‘Girl, this is not the right time or place for us to be fighting, like what would happen if I got up and I slapped the s*** out of you, or I took a glass and f***ing threw it at you and you were bleeding all over the place? I would be wrong and we’d all be wrong, and the party would be done.’”
“Then Russell turns to me and he goes, ‘Well, you wouldn’t even get close enough to get the chance, n*****.’
“And he says the word n***** so, like, quietly, under his breath.
“He calls me a n*****, and then grabs me, picks me up, he chokes me by the throat, picks me up, throws me out of the room and then spits on me.
Russell and several guests at the party claim Banks is lying.
Unfortunately, the incident is said to be behind her decision to terminate the contract she signed with the rapper/mogul RZA.
For, she believes he did little to defend her as she was being manhandled by the Herculean Crowe.
When she is always in the news for the wrong reasons when she is telling the truth no one would believe her.
She is a FRAUD!
She needs psychiatric help terribly.
Get those HEADLINES GIRL…the ONLY way you know how! SCREAMING at how quick she’s back to being known for something other than her music…well, that didn’t take long, did it? lol
Release the video.
We don’t believe you, you need more people! You won’t get a third chance to make fool out of me. Defend you before for being young and wreckless. No more!!! Now show them receipts!!!
Ugh, when is she going to dissappear.
This rat stays lying lol. I need receipts other than her story.
Did he actually tweet the song?
Yep And then deleted.
Her side of the story sounds even more confusing now, she’s lying, at least Russel’s version sounds like something Banks would do.
She sounds like a Donald Trump!
Ugh she’s so dope! Her music is everything . I wish she’d let the drama go! Put it in the music!
I believe her . nobody goes outta there way to look this stupid
She’s telling the truth and I find it odd that the only accounts here that don’t believe it are, b**** u guessed it, white. Yall JUST saw the other post where the other sources said that same thing she’s saying now. He tweeted the song then deleted it. How do yall think she’d lying? Preserving the good whiteness of his name huh? And yall wonder why I can’t stand white people. I can’t. I really can’t.
Lol! Good point! Her story is actually in line with the eye witnesses who say it was her fault. The only difference is that they didn’t mention the private conversations that led up to it. Yet all these people say she’s lying! ???????????????. It’s amazing. They automatically believed his story which she acknowledges is true. The only difference is that she explains WHY he pushed her out.
Exactly babe. I said it before that she’s not a liar. She’s messy but she tells the truth.
I believe her… I feel like a lot of ppl would downplay her side because she has a pastrong full of so much drama, but I think she’s telling the truth and it’s sad because I also feel that she brought it upon herself because of her past.
Even if shes telling the truth she just wants publicity from this. She is so f****** desperate. Crying out racism for headlines then bleaching her skin to not be black anymore? You’re racist against your own damn self. she is the epitome of ridiculous. Please lets never talk about her again its what she craves like a child. Cringe. Bye
Sure Jan!
Who know if she telling the true or she just lying herself off to Get attention
