They shared a teacher at LaGuardia and share the lane that is female rap. Alas, Nicki Minaj and Azealia Banks never seemed to share the love following the latter’s explosive arrival onto the scene in 2011.

Now, after years of subliminal disses (and not so subliminal ones) the ladies have reconciled.

How it happened?

Two years after saying Nicki Minaj makes “basic ass music,” ‘Ice Princess’ performer Azealia Banks may be having a change of heart (if a recent Twitter rant is anything to judge by).

Already letting her distaste for rising rapstress Cardi B known during a rant days ago, Banks continued her slam of the ‘Bodak Yellow’ beauty last night by referring to her as “a poor man’s Nicki [Minaj].’

This, of course, after news dominated headlines that B had dethroned Taylor Swift from the top spot on Billboard’s Hot 100…

After revealing that she had set the next few months aside rebuild her brand, Azealia Banks was surprised to learn that she had been dissed in Nicki Minaj’s brand new ‘Empire’ game application.

In response, the entertainer penned an open letter to the ‘Shanghai’ lyricist which criticised her for what she believed was an unprovoked low-blow.

Little did she know that said letter, which compared Minaj’s material to McDonalds, would “encourage” the rapper’s fans to hunt for material to counter with.

What they discovered?

A video they say proves Banks’ critically-lauded material, which is often praised for its concepts and originality, is anything but original.

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.

Pop culture’s resident commentator Azealia Banks is back at it.

This time, the ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’ rapper is sounding off on rival Nicki Minaj.

Earlier today, the ‘Anaconda’ femcee set the ‘net ablaze when her comments about Miley Cyrus were published in a new interview with the New York Times Magazine.

As reported, Minaj elaborated on her gripe with the singer, who took aim at the Young Money star’s claims of institutionalised racism.

For Banks, though, Onika’s comments do not wash with her.

Azealia Banks‘ continues to flaunt her flare for fireworks.

The fiery femcee is no stranger to popping off on social media, a trait which reared its head again today on Twitter.

This time, it was Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, and attention-seeking singer Miley Cyrus who were on the ‘212’ rapper’s hit list.

Their crimes? According to Banks, being “basic” and releasing “whack” music.

Last week the lyricist Nicki Minaj nabbed her first look at the very first Madame Tussauds wax figure built in her honour.

Unfortunately, not everyone is happy about it.

For, despite being the first wax figure released to celebrate a female rapper, the figure sees the star bent on all fours with her derriere in the air.

Now, her Hip Hop sister Azealia Banks has weighed in on the allegedly racially motivated move on Twitter.

What she had to say about it?

Solange Knowles isn’t the only entertainer showing a little love to Azealia Banks this week.

For, after revealing that she believes black women aren’t given enough credit for their contributions to Pop culture and society in general, Nicki Minaj used Twitter to thank Banks for supporting her new album ‘The Pinkprint.’

Quite interestingly, Banks echoed similar sentiments during a headline-grabbing conversation Hot 97’s Ebro Darden, unaware that Minaj had discussed the very same topic with the very same Darden days earlier.

A case of great minds thinking alike? Perhaps.
