Yesterday alone, her departure was announced, her own statement (rejecting the quad’s comments) was serviced, and insider tea was spilt.

Fifth Harmony have been a fixture in the headlines and on social media today following the shock departure of member Camila Cabello.

And, if folk felt there split would be handled in a PC manner, they’re greatly mistaken.

For those who listened to Azealia Banks’ ‘Fantasea’ the set served as one of the most innovative bodies of work to be built by an artist from this generation’s Pop class.

Alas, it seems that Hip Hop’s reigning Queen Nicki Minaj isn’t impressed by Banks’ aquatic tales of love, life and lust.

How she may have let her fans know this?

With their collective star on the rise after the chart domination of songs ‘Work From Home’ and more, Fifth Harmony was well on their way to filling the “girl group” void left in the industry by the likes of Destiny’s Child and Danity Kane.
