Azealia Banks believes she is held to an unfair standard by white men in the gay community and would like to know why.
After returning from her sold-out European tour, Banks found herself faced with abuse launched at her by a Twitter user named Zachary Tyler in a now deleted tweet.
Shortly after, the Hip-House songbird’s fans uncovered a string of racist tweets published by the same character which led them to believe his issue with her was rooted in what they believe is racism.
The rapper, who is often subjected to racist abuse online, was then urged by some fans to forgive him as she spotlighted his bigotry by sharing his remarks on her Twitter account.
Confused, she posed this question…
How come the white gays forgive themselves and their faves for shit from years ago but can’t get over things I’ve apologized for constantly?
Why can’t we all just get along and go to the mermaid ball? https://t.co/zDC0E5qSca— CHEAPYXO USA (@cheapyxousa) February 27, 2019
She is of course referring to the apologies she has issued following remarks she made during feuds with her music industry peers.
Peers, she says see their mistakes erased from Pop cultural discourse as hers are used to justify the treatment she often receives from “stans.”
as problematic as she is, she often hits the mark when speaking on the issues in the lgtbqia communities.
Actually why does she’s need caucasian approval? She has a large gay following. Folks like her off the wall style I suppose. I’ll pass now it’s beginning to be a s*** show!!
Cause it’s the white gays paying her bills. She can bash them online all year long at the end of the day she is as toxic as these mean girls and that’s why they’re drawn to her.
I’ve had it with her patronizing homophobic rants. She never addresses white privilege anymore it’s always “the gays this the gays that” why can’t you book a gig at straight clubs then henny?
Shereally is brilliant. The girl is extremely smart!!
White gays are the worst. Ultimately, they are still white men and use their privilege to their advantage. Too many of them are racist and problematic AF.
so true
hahah black gays are the worst honey
because she’s a consistent c***
