Azealia Banks: ‘Somebody gotta check these faggots’
By Josh Haggis
Azealia Banks has, once again, hit out at “faggots” in a succession of tweets, and reignited her ongoing feud with Perez Hilton.
The bisexual rapper was widely criticised early last year (2013) for using the slur during a confrontation on Twitter with the gossip blogger. Despite later apologising for using the phrase, the spat reignited earlier today (December 4), with Banks concluding that “it’s your fault you got called a faggot”.
@AZEALIABANKS I’m more than happy being me. & don’t come around with your dick between your legs trying to apologize again. Won’t accept it.

@PerezHilton I NEVER APOLOGIZED TO YOU FAGGOT

@PerezHilton you will always be a faggot. The men you want will never give you the same social regard a woman gets. — AZEALIA ⚓️ BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) December 4, 2014
@PerezHilton and that’s what the faggots do! They get in the middle of girl beef because it validates them and makes them feel involved
The notoriously offensive rapper went on to accuse gay men of hypocrisy, saying that they “call you a bitch” but get upset by being called a “faggot”.
