Trail-blazing femcee Azealia Banks may have yet to drop her first studio album, however that hasn’t stopped her from making many a headline – the latest of which surrounds her management.
Details below…
This April saw the ‘212’ rapper announce that she has inked a lucrative deal with the Atom Factory – the management company owned by Troy Carter steers the careers of Lady GaGa, Mindless Behavior, and more.
However, in a statement to Billboard Biz today, Carter reveals that he and Banks are no longer working together:
“I can confirm that I ended the business relationship with Azealia last month on very amicable terms. She’s incredibly talented and I wish her nothing short of an amazing career.”
The report went on to confirm that the 21 year old, who is signed to Interscope musically, is currently without management and is seeking representation.

I guess that explains the multitude of mixtapes and EP’s. Still, there’s no harm; for given her immense buzz, this is likely just the calm before the storm. Indeed, a certain Nicki Minaj encountered a strikingly similar situation starting out; one which saw her bounce from management with Waka Flaka‘s mother, to Diddy, to ironically Troy Carter, to her current predicament. So for Azealia, it’s simply a case of getting one’s “business” right before serving the “business” on the charts.
With all the moves she made I thought they were still together. Oh well it probably won’t take her long to get a manager.
Im feeling this girl, at first i wernt sure, but she fits well into my musical taste, Im feeling the lp 1991, the songs are fresh and alternative
LOL THEY WASNT FEELIN HER RATCHET ASS BEHAVIOR AND UGLY ATTITUDE.. GUESS ALL THE GHETTO MERMAIDS CAN SWIM AWAY NOW..NOTHIN POPPIN HERE NO MORE, SHE’S SLOWLY ENDING HER OWN CAREER BEFORE IT EVEN STARTS… HUMBLE YOURSELF
She’s going to roc nation
Really? She will slay everybitch…cept for Beyonce of course.lol
It’ll sound cold but I’m starting to feel like she’ll be one of those chicks who is talked about and everyone waits for her to arrive and explode on the music scene and she never arrives.
All the beef and this…dunno, I’m feeling some kinda way.
Wonder who she’ll get.
I really in a way don’t want Azealia to blow up. I love her music, and her whole persona but I enjoy her where she is. I loved Nicki Minaj before she blew up … I don’t know I just don’t know if mainstream music can take ‘Itty Bitty Piggy’ songs or ‘I Gets Crazy’ like they do ‘Starships’. Just as mainstream obviously cannot digest ‘212’ as they would any other generic rap song. I like her where shes at. Shes got a solid fanbase that will grow and shes already selling out shows (obviously not arenas) but I’m cool with people not being on top of the BB top 100. I love me some Rihanna, and LORD KNOWS I STAN FOR BEYONCE .. but 4 was my favorite era just because of all the hidden gems that the public doesn’t know … and I’m not a hipster of any sort but I like music others don’t know of. Azealia currently is soooo fresh and so talented I just fear superstardom will inevitably change that.
Hopefully she doesn’t lose her steam.

I haven’t heard 1 of her songs but all I know about her is that she’s a drama queen… I support artists not fame whores.
Okay
