As Azealia Banks’ new single ‘Anna Wintour‘ glides to glory on Spotify, the entertainer has offered fresh thoughts on her short-lived friendship with Remy Ma.
Fans will remember that Ma stunned Banks’ fans when she published exchanges they’d shared about Nicki Minaj and others via text.
This week, Azealia has revealed that she wishes Remy had listened to the career advice she gave her during their private conversations and that she believes her hatred of Minaj is fuelled by the fact that she “may be a closeted lesbian.”
Fortunately, the above tweets weren’t the only messages the genius shared with her fans. For, now armed with the benefit of age and experience, she gave them insight into her difficult childhood and how the death of her beloved father/abusive mother caused her to sabotage her own success.
My father is not going to let Russell Crowe get away with spitting on me.Before he died his wish was for me to be a black ballerina. Which is why the cover of my debut album features me as a ballerina.Russell may think I’m some broke little unloved black girl who no one will stand up for but he’s going to be in for a VERY big surprise.
I really wish he were here. He died when I was three and the only memory I have of him is him in his casket because my mom kept him away during my very early years. The ONLY memory I have is my mom telling me to give him a kiss and me saying “no he has boogers.I really regret not kissing him goodbye.
He’s a big part of the reason I’m still alive. My mom was SUPER abusive and it made me want to kill myself. Suicide was a common theme amongst me and my siblings when we were little. We all wanted to be somewhere else.Imagine being a five year old little girl trying to figure out ways to die. . . That was me.
I was a VERY VERY VERY sad little girl. I cried ALL the time. I went to school in tears at least three days out of the week mostly from crazy shit my mom would say to me. Other times it was because of beatings.
That’s why I wanted to be a star. I wanted to be told nice things about myself. I wanted to be loved. I didn’t know my fan base would be the people to love me unconditionally.Y’all love and appreciate me more than my own mother does.
Thank you.and you guys REALLY love me. Sometimes I don’t know how to handle that.I don’t know how to be loved. I really don’t. And regardless of whatever “failures” people like to make fun of me for… on a personal level, every moment of my fame is new for me.
No one EVER told me they loved me before you all did.My mother NEVER told me she loved me. She never ever gave me hugs or kisses. Saying “I love you” just wasn’t a thing. She’s not a bad person though. She did the best she could with what she had. And she did an excellent job.
She added…
Powerful.
