Azealia Banks Disses the UK Rap & Grime Scene and is then as a result thrown off the Rinse Born & Bred Festival line up.
UPDATE AS OF 5/13/2016 – Azealia Banks has since deleted most of her tweets that day, Her Account is now suspended.
Azealia Banks is known for her conversational views on many things from Donald Trump to her extreme hatred of white people and their place in the world.
Last night however she took aim at the UK with a bunch of Racist & homophobic insults and specifically Zayn Malik but then also weirdly rap and grime, claiming “UK RAP is just a disgrace to rap culture in general” and with UK rappers “It’s ALWAYS FORCED”.
With the Fact she was set to Headline The Born & Bred Festival in Hackney you can only imagine the uproar this has created.
