Unprovoked, Banks blasted the Bajan belle’s body – branding her “fat and bald headed” – and claimed the latter is some form of marketing campaign helmed by… Jay-Z. 

Confused? We thought so.

Head below to see and hear the rapper unpack her thoughts…

Fantasia has unleashed the ‘Holy Ghost’!

The bouncy bop is the latest taste of the star’s 7th studio album ‘Sketchbook,’ due October 11th via her freshly formed indie imprint Rock Soul. 

Arriving after singles ‘Enough’ and ‘PTSD,’ the track had been made available as an instant-grat offering to those who pre-order its parent LP.

Speaking on the set, the American Idol champion said:

“I’ve shared so much with the world but I feel that there is more still in this journey .. I’m still growing. In the sketchbook we’re still coloring out and painting it out the way I want to be seen, not allowing anybody else to take control of that journey. This sketchbook, what I’m showing through my music, no matter where I go, I want people to see that the painting is still being filled in and there’s many colors and many things to Fantasia that they still don’t know — especially music.”
