Azealia Banks is on her way up in the world.

Yes, despite falling prey to Grand Hustle‘s fruitless attempts to smear her as a ‘jealous hater’, Ms. ‘212’ has one upped rival Iggy Azalea by landing a spread in next month’s ‘Elle‘.

Joined by a demure looking Santigold, the ladies joined forces for the magazine’s ‘Women In Music’ spread which is covered by Pop Royal Rihanna, weeks after feuding with Azalea, who beat her at landing a spot on  XXL’s 2012 Freshman Cover.

Well, as much as we love XXL, we doubt Banks will be too fussed on missing out on their cover now.

Many thanks to Elle.

90’s R&B super group SWV are back with the follow-up to ‘Co-Sign’ entitled, ‘All About You’.
