As always, Azealia Banks is the conductor of controversy on on social media.
After her raptress rival Nicki Minaj shared a teaser of her upcoming video ‘Bed,’ laying on a beach clad with a mermaid tail and a green wig, Azealia ignited a firestorm of tweets accusing Minaj of duplicating her signature style — and also slammed her for poor execution.
Details below…
She boldly stated: Why does nicki Minaj have to be so damn corny,” she wrote in the opening tweet. “Like sometimes it’s just like sis !!!!! Find some art !!! Please !! Lol.”
The New Yorker, who was referencing her ‘Aquababe’ and ‘Fantasea’ aesthetics, clearly seems to think she’s the only allowed to dabble with mermaid imagery.
Banks continued throwing a slew of jabs towards Onika, but in the midst of the verbal assault she claimed that she and Nicki “supposedly” teamed up to block Iggy Azelea from prospering.

The baffling comments come after the two seemingly reached a resolution last year when AB apologized via Instagram DM for her catty behavior; much of which stalled the two from forging an alliance.
Following the fence mending, the ‘Anna Wintour’ rapper supported and praised ‘Chun Li’ – until she she decided to hop on the so-called “Nicki-hate-train.”
And Azealia wasn’t the only one on boarding. For, as reported, Joseline Hernandez has hitch-hiked a ride too.

As for Azealia. She clearly chooses controversy to market her talent; a pattern that has become redundant as she continues to pave her path with negative headlines. None of which help her new music. There’s no denying that the ‘Chi-Chi’ rapper is talented by leaps and bounds by over industry counterparts, but her behavior has blocked the masses from recognizing her for gift.
