Despite being the victor of many-a-social media battle over her short, but storied career, Azealia Banks met her match when she crossed paths with the unlikeliest of opponents: 14-year-old Disney star Skai Jackson.
Jackson, best known for her infamous “sitting” meme, politely sat and shat all over Banks via Twitter – a bout that’s now gone down in infamy for the self-proclaimed “Yung Rapunxel.”
Now, a day after the rapstress tried to rekindle the beef by labeling the young actress as a “c**n in training,” Jackson’s interview with ‘Teen Vogue’ has surfaced and gets her take on the now epic Twitter feud.
Tuck in below to read the Disney darling’s statements:
“I know who Azealia Banks is, and I would always see her trending on Twitter,” Skai explains. “At first I would never really pay attention to it, but then I realized she was trending because of all the negative things and all the racial slurs that she was saying to [Zayn Malik].”
“She’s a bully, and I’ve been bullied when I was younger. I’m against bullying, I hate it because I’ve dealt with it. I felt like I had to say something on my Twitter.”
“There should be consequences that happen when you say things about people, especially racist things,” Skai says in reference to Banks’ recent Twitter suspension. “I’m honestly going to say I’ve heard some of her music; she is a talented person, but all that talent is being covered up with all this negativity that she’s causing on her own.”
“I hope that she takes a break from social media and everything and lays low for a little bit,” she explains. “Even if that is deleting your Instagram or deleting your Twitter for a certain amount of time — which I’ve done before, just to get back into myself and get back in tune with myself. I definitely hope she realizes that what she’s doing is not cool. She may seem like she’s hurting people but she’s not. She’s kind of making a fool of herself and making a mockery of herself.”
