Last year, they were as thick as thieves. This year, they find themselves in the middle of a heated controversy with either citing the other as the cause.
We’re talking about ‘Murderation’ Rapper Shystie and ‘1991′ MC Azealia Banks of course, whose friendship reportedly turned sour when the video they shot for Shystie‘s single ‘Control It‘ was pulled from Banks’ label Interscope, seemingly damaging the campaign the Rapper had in place to endorse her forthcoming EP.
Now, in response to the drama, the Brit belle took to Twitter to confront Azealia, which resulted in the latter hitting back at both she and her manager.
Full story below…
One hour ago, Shystie sent the following to Azealia’s personal Twitter account, after thanking fans for supporting her during the drama:
Within minutes, Azealia took to the network to respond- blaming her one time collaborator and her ‘big shot’ manager for the mess, with:
While we think it’s insulting-and a little sexist- to hope and assume all female Rappers are meant to get along by default, it’s a shame that these two have seen their creative partnership turned to…well this.
Of course, if Camp Shystie did unveil the video with full consent from Interscope, it’s easy to understand why the label took such swift action in having it pulled, if they felt it interfered with Azealia’s brand and the campaign she is currently readying for her debut album.
In saying that-if this really is the case- one has to wonder why Banks agreed to collaborate in the first place.
Update:
In response to the ‘212’ Rapper’s remarks, the last hour saw Shystie add the following:
…to which Azealia responsed:
Im so over you…
I Really Can’t She Argues With EVERYBODY On Twitter. I’m Over it. Tbh. Good Luck Azealia
Please dont “Murderation” her Shystie!
Lol nah it seems more like label politics than personal beef.
This b**** is always in some drama. She’s gonna flop.
you mean like when baauer asked her not to release her harlem shake remix cause he was gonna release it to itunes, then she went ahead and did it anyway? …..ya, that.
Yeah I wouldn’t even call this a fight, much less beef. Az Banks didn’t say anything negative about Shystie. In fact she practically complimented her by saying she had better songs than ‘Control It’. *shrugs*
Still don’t understand how this interfered with her album campaign…
*points down two comments*
LMFAO!!!!!!!
THE STRUGGLE FOR SIGNIFICANCE AND RELEVANCY IS TRULY REAL IN THIS TOWN!!!
Azealia has talent but she needs to focus on making better music and NOT burning bridges before they’re even built.
As for Shystie – I sincerely CANNOT. I suggest she goes searching for a nice, comfortable, leather or suede, sofa, purchases it and has an ETERNAL SEAT for the sake of her wig.
KIII.
lmao!!! b**** were did you come from your f****** hilarious!!!
LMFAO!!!!!!!
I’ve been around Gwooooooorl… xo

How are you supposed to have a rap career when every person you interact with ends up hating your guts? Folks usually only get this many enemies after years in the game, not months. Won’t even touch the male rappers that sparred with her.
Hmmm. Azealia shows love for another female rapper who she considered her friend and then ends up beefing with them. Didn’t this just happen with my girl Angel Haze. History does repeat itself. Azealia is too much of a hateful b****. She’ll never make it in the U.S and her future in the U.K isn’t bright after she just dissed on of their top new female rappers. I predict she’ll do less than 20k 1st week sales
Azelia Banks is such a low blowing b****!!!! She has some major artist for a minor a$$ artist!
I meant major attitude, but you get my drift!
banks is a cutthoat B-tch sh!t on you and don’t even look back,isn’t her promoter are whoever managing her her boy friend,she bin sh!tting on all her friends from she got signed..and picking on other people in the game….but alot of you don’t like Nicki so banks will get a pass,no matter how many people she f-ck with are sh!t on are try to sh!t on…one thing o notice that the hate that kin fans and others have for Nicki other shines the love they have for there favs…because bnaks dis all off them and they are still on here d-ck omy so sad i tell ya.
People don’t like nicki cus she slaying
I AM DONE WITH THIS GHETTO HATING H**, I DON’T LIKE HER ATTITUDE, I WILL NOT SUPPORT
Azealia my dear You may be on interscope you can get dropped cus honey your songs aint charting!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus interscope hires everyone I call it “Everyone’s label” I’m tired of her and her cockiness she is gonna fall and fall HARD! Always poking fun at people look and the b**** aint got no edges Have you seen her inperson her ass does not look like she does in the videos not that she is amazing looking but still I rooted for her BUT this is coming ridiculous
Twitter WILL be the fall of all ignorant musicians. Azealia, you have some serious issues. The lack of maturity at your age is pathetic. You a b*tch for real. You fought with 85% of the industry and you haven’t even put out that flop album yet! (and y’all know it’ll flop). Girl put out that album, let people bootleg the sh*t out of it and go the f*ck back to that roach invested home of yours, forever. I use to like this b*tch too but I’ll never support arrogance, especially a b*tch like Azealia, gremlin looking a*s b*tch.
i don’t get why azelia insists on being a twitter thug. she started with such promise. she has talent but that won’t matter because she is foolish..
Your girl called her ” charcoal skinned b****”!! So that’s really not the case! Angel backstabbed her…
uhhh girl…..i like 3 of her songs but she really is a hateful little b****…..but what do you expect when someone fabricates stories about their own mother
i would love to see a war between azealia & rihanna…..sis……that would be utter devestation
