Azealia Banks‘ album ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’ may not have set the charts ablaze upon its long-awaited arrival last year. However, that hasn’t deterred the femcee from pressing on with promo.

As ever with Ms. Banks though, controversy isn’t far. Case in point her new interview with popular French radio station Skyrock.

During the candid chat, the New York reared rapper took aim at Kanye West for “trying to be accepted by the White fashion world.”
