Azealia Banks has never been one to hold back and it seems Tinashe is the latest name in her firing line.
Seemingly unprovoked, the rapper took to Instagram to vent her views about the singer and the alt-R&B direction of her newest music.
Branding Tinashe a “Pop tart,” Banks went on to unpack the reasons why she sees the 26-year-old as more of an “NBA cheerleader” and why she doesn’t feel Nashe is a “star”…yet.
A series of back-handed compliments await after the jump…
The shade of it all.
Azaelia, shouldn’t you focus on those train tracks in your mouth rather than someone who is actually talented?
I seriously wonder what undiagnosed mental illness this crazy b*tch is dealing with.
Hi, My name is Clarkson and I am single looking to mingle. I am 6’3, 140 lbs, slim waist, with a wide boooty hole. I am mostly a bottom but I can butch up and be verse for the right gentleman. I prefer well endowed men but I will take whatever I can get. I am pre-t***** which means I still have a di ck (I don’t use it often though so it stays limp). I like blogging, sewing, cooking (I make a mean raccoon stew and rodent kabobs), traveling, swimming, and buying women’s clothes. I have tried all the gay dating apps like grinder and jacked but I figure I would give this site a try. My ideal soul mate would be a man who is on prep (cause you know I have the monster), have a job (cause I ain’t got one), and a car or bus pass. Any age any race just don’t be a strict bottom. I look forward to meeting you
Azealia giving some advices when her music career isn’t going nowhere, how funny this is.
AB is a professional Instagram A&R. Many of our fave’s A&Rs were one hit wonders or couldn’t sustain as artist. These people give the best advice! LA Reid (The Deele)… Uptown Records founder… one hit wonder rapper. AB should pursue her own label to find talent she believes in. She has the eye in which many don’t. People like her tell the truth. They will be written off, but hey she has no filter.
LMAO. Just stop, this girl is a professional shyt talker, and that’s it. That’s why she has no career in music.
She gives me major TGJ clarkson vibes…. lifeless, loveless, self hating, trolling and attention seeking vibes..
Lol she’s so jaelous of the beautiful and succesful, she’s a scum dweller who has ruined every opportunity that came her way and only ever gets posted by this blog.
^^^^ *THIS* ??????????
I also found it funny when she said that people all around the world need to stop talking about her : shut your mouth, stop looking for drama and maybe you will find some peace.
I actually agree with Azealia! LOL I love Tinashe but… Azealia and those other chicks she mentioned (Kelela – Frontline, Wynter Gordon – Happy Birthday) are more effective to me as game changers in RnB and black singer culture.. So.. cudos to Azealia for being so open and sharing her views on Tinashe with us! *going to play Anna Vintour now*
Lol yeah this is the truth. It was actually constructive too. Tinashe did not play her cards right. And it’s unfortunate because she has the talent. She simply didn’t know how to package it, creatively and originally. It’s almost like she was just so desperate and focused on getting famous and popping off that she prioritized getting a hit over making art. And it backfired, because she didn’t seem genuine anymore.
Being an r&b artist in 2019 is not easy, but if you stay the course and have the talent and consistency, people won’t be able to ignore you. You get the success that people like Tinashe are chasing while being yourself the entire way. There are actually a ton of underground r&b singers that artistically, waaaaayyyyy more effective than Tinashe could ever hope to be. She should’ve been patient and identified her career path more so with someone like Fja Twigs and less like Rihanna.
Oh what tf ever lol. If all that was true this azalea girl would be a major star, not a social media troll.
Wynter Gordon is not an r&b singer she’s literally as pop as it gets
U dont know who wynter gordon is then.
Stimela
Sugar
TKO
Dirty Talk
Name the r&b song
Wynter plays with a lot of different sounds, but I agree. She’s definitely not R&B. Azealia Banks is not even R&B so idk why she even mentioned herself. ??♂️

She has done alot of genre but she’s rnb.
Just because she dont sound like summer walker or sza dont mean she’s not rnb
No lies detected.
Tinashe is copying fka twigs.
Tinashe is too commercial. I’m surprised she has lasted this long in relevancy.
She’s suppose to be in the trash with girls like natalie la rose and normani .dancers with weak vocals.
and who tf is fka twigs? Exactly. Bytch stfu, just because you stan some z-list girl group reject doesn’t make you a music industry genius. Its always the FLOPS that have all the answers and advice for other people.
Screaming did u just call twigs a girl group ?????
I was referring to clarksooon’s fave, that girl camila whats her name from that group no harmony or whatever they were called.
…..and the question still stands, who or what tf is a fka twigs?
As much as I hate Azealia, I have to say this is the first time I’ve even agreed with her and didn’t take this as shade because her comments are spot on. I love tinashe, I am a major fan but I do feel like she always has this commercial thing about her that keeps her from reaching the level of art of a Twigs or Kelela.
Reading the comments above u can tell who is comfortable hearing the painful truth and who hates hearing the truth and would prefer lies. ???
You must be talking about camila cabello fans.
Azealia is pathetic.
Tinashe is amazing!
I DONT KNOW WHY TGJ CONTINUES TO PROMOTE THIS TROLL’S HATE !
Exactly, I literally never hear this girl’s name anywhere else except on this blog. EVER. And yet they always post about her like she an A list celebrity or something. I’m starting to think she works for them lmao.
I still don’t understand why she feels so sure she is so talented and her music is so next level, I actually enjoyed just 2 songs from her
Right, nobody knows who tf this bytch is.
Azealia banks music is next level
212 was on many critics lists of greastest songs of 2010
Kanye west rants all the time and yall praise him for being deep and intelligent and call him a genius, a woman like azealia does the same, yall put her on blast, what azealia says most of the time is true
If azealia was a man, her career will be on the same level as travis Scott or tyler the creator.
Yep.
That is not wrong. But if we’re gonna talk about gender bias then why is Azealia ALWAYS bothered about what the girls are doing? She never directs that kinda energy to men. Unless they’re gay lol She didn’t have to go to Tinashe’s page and leave that comment, but she did. Azealia Banks fosters female competition. She is talented but jealous as hell
And who is azalea banks again? How many records has she sold? How many hits has she collected? How many platinum albums, sold out tours? How many artists have she established as bonafide pop stars or R&B stars?
Exactly. B*tch stfu and keep your self hatred to yourself.
How many hits does normani have?
How many aold out tours does normani have.
How many records has normani sold.
More than this azalea troll, since you tried it. and more than your c*** hopping payola fave too, since you fail at trying it.
Ok but get into this https://youtu.be/TzyYbtwtKgc
Oh lord ? This woman is so Jealous of any other black woman seeing success. Tinashe will be just fine as long as she continues to stay authentic to herself. Azealia doesn’t even have enough success to be giving out career advice. Also, FKA Twigs and Tinashe sound nothing alike musically. They are just two light skin bi-racial girls that happen to look a little bit alike.
Behind all the intellectual blablabla there’s a nasty woman who can’t stand to see her peers succeed. The week Tinashe made a splash as an indie artist she found a way to pick a bone with her. Go away Flopzelia Stanks
The best “shade-reader’ on the planet. No one is exempt. AB is what the bloggers and YouTubers were supposed to be about–non-mainstream commentary. But they get a few followers and DM texts from popular artists and they turn into Fox News correspondents–lacing every commentary with words like: I love him/her, I love his/her work, don’t quote me on this, I’m just the messenger, blah blah blah. Now that Tasha K has hooked up with Minaj, she will change too. And Daytime Tea Time has more excuses about her commentary than Lovelyti. KEEP SHADING AND READING AB and KHIA. If I want diplomatic excuses, I’ll read Billboard, Variety, and Rolling Stones.
Ole AB! Legit, she’s one of this generation’s geniuses. She just said what’s been said but in very raw / slightly hateful way. In my opinion Tin’s thorn has always been her persona outside the art. However, I think the simple fix to that is less interviews/ behind the scenes and more product / art. As far as her finally getting to the maximum creative space, that’ll come with living life and her personal evolution. Yeah, some people reach that point sooner than later but those who I’ve seen that are, just born there, end up a little mentally off like AB. I low key believe the extreme creatives have much in that area because of missing things in other areas…lol
Anyway, if Tinashe keeps on this path, she’ll land right where she needs to.
If she was a genius she would have figured out how to have a career.. ??
Thank you. Social media morons call anybody a genius these days.
That is not wrong. But if we’re gonna talk about gender bias then why is Azealia ALWAYS bothered about what the girls are doing? She never directs that kinda energy to men. Unless they’re gay lol She didn’t have to go to Tinashe’s page and leave that comment, but she did. Azealia Banks fosters female competition. She is talented but jealous as hell
eugh nooo this was a reply to Clarkson’s troll ass
Why this site didn’t post her first week sales was bragging how she was number 1 on iTunes ??
As crazy as AB is… imma have to agree with her lol I think she is pretty intelligent when it comes to a lot of things that she says, her delivery is awful but where the lie at. Tinashe is extremely talented but her music is very poptart, I always felt this way and it lead me not to listen to much of her material because it does nothing for me…. she feels like songs that bigger name artist rejected…. I like her but she should dig deeper. I can’t stand AB’s attitude but she be making sense … plus AB has really good music, I wish she would put her focus into that rather than go after other artist.
Again. WHY does this blog continue to post this trash? Y’all are basically promoting hate and negativity at this point and no other site talks about her but you. Just stop. We don’t care about this b**** and we never did.
She is always ranting on about others when she doesn’t have a fantastic career herself. She is more well known for running her mouth than her actual music. Stop trying to look for relevance. Work on yourself and your career first.
Azealia told us once before that she doesn’t see why we pay attention to her opinions. I like her music but her career is too weak to armchair A&R anyone else. She would be much better off focusing on HER music and leaving the opinions alone. TGJ could do us all a service by simply not following her and reposting her antics. As far as Tinashe is concerned, I think there is enough room for Ms. Kachingwe AND Ms. Talibah. As another poster said, with freer creative reins and time to live life Tinashe’s art will get to where it should be. I like AND SUPPORT (as in buy their records) them both and believe that there is MOST DEFINITELY room for someone who successfully combines the pop gloss of Tinashe and the pure artistry of Twigs. Truth be told, SONGSFORYOU is a much more accessible listen than Magdalene….
I’ve come to a conclusion that the readers on this blog are all naive 9th graders. There’s enough room for FKA Twigs and Tinashe, and there’s absolutely no need to compare. Saying Tinashe is too “pop” so thereby her music is less quality that Twigs is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Ms. Banks should just say she hated Tinashe cause she’s another light skin beauty and leave it at that. Her opinion is invalid when her own music career has been dead for some years now.
THATGRAPEJUICE Can y’all stop giving this girl a free platform? She’s a professional nobody.
@Chas – “She’s a professional nobody.” – hahaha I like Banks but that was funny.
AB is just being frank. If you read the whole message she has for Tinashe..its just her trolling again to gain buzz but not starting a feud at all. And Tinashe has a classy response aswl.
I agree with Azealia. Tinashe is talented and nice but it seems she makes music to get famous instead of creating art. Blah… i love me some Tinashe and Azealia but if I would have to choose between them.. Definitely I’d choose Azealia. She makes better music. Point blank.
It’s crazy how this girl had so much potential and she just exploded and waisted all that talent and reduced her self to some chick bullying and insulting people on the internet.
