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.

In 2015, Azealia Banks was lauded for her groundbreaking Hot 97 interview in which she slammed institutional racism and its irreparable affect on African-Americans.

2016’s biggest Billboard 200 titans – Adele, Rihanna, and Justin Bieber – collectively dominated the chart since the debut of their most recent respective projects.  As we’ve reported previously, Adele and Bieber’s albums (both released in November 2015) and Rih’s latest project (released in February 2016) enjoyed lengthy reigns atop the BB 200, never once leaving the tally’s top 5…until now.

For, after weeks of fending off the likes of K. Michelle, Zayn, and other brief chart-toppers, 2016’s top trio have now fallen out of the top 5 courtesy of an impressive showing from Kanye West and others. We reported earlier this week that West, whose latest project ‘Life of Pablo’ pushed 94,000 equivalent album sales during its official “debut” week, now holds the #1 spot.

As we’ve reported over the last several weeks, Adele, Justin Bieber, and Rihanna have had a relentless control over the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 since their most recent albums (and singles from those albums) first burst onto the scene.

With their respective releases ’25,’ ‘Purpose,’ and ‘Anti,’ the non-American born trio have not only dominated the album charts non-stop since February, but have even set a record on the Hot 100 side of the fence.

Despite new competition from the likes of Gwen Stefani, K. Michelle, Zayn, and more over the past months, Addy, Bieber, and Rih have withstood the test of them all and simply played musical chairs on the Billboard 200.  Now, much to the surprise of music lovers, the three continue to endure.
