Rapper Azealia Banks is getting all kinds of heated and lighting up Twitter again, and no, pseudo-namesake Iggy Azalea is not involved this time.
She posted this photo of herself wearing whiteface, then denied it was really whiteface, and went OFF on her critics following the obligatory backlash ...
The saga began after Azealia Banks posted the above picture, in which she is covered in white face makeup, and captioned the image "#whiteface."
Despite her own hashtag, she says this isn't actually whiteface she has on ... she's just transforming into an ice princess for her new music video.
Obviously. We are all SUCH idiots.
Her explanation managed to offend people even more, too. Banks' Twitter tirade included multiple racial terms, slang and allegations of misogyny ...
- Lol u crackers wish I cared enough to be doing whiteface. I'm becoming the ICE PRINCESS YAAAAAAS
- I use the word crAcker just as much as I use the word nigger... Don't get mad now
- You lot are all so easily moved... DAMN.
- Yall really r hype. This is not white face this is my Ice Princess makeup. Calm tf down LOL
- And sidebar.. When snoop did whiteface YALL all thought that shit was hilarious and funny right? #MISOGYNOIR at its finest!!
Azealia's use of "misogynoir" - a term coined by black feminist scholar Moya Bailey - implies hatred of black women based on race and gender combined.
Is that a real phenomenon? Very likely, in certain cases. Is Azealia Banks really the victim of it in this particular case? Somewhat less certain.
In any case, she then turned her tweets to "gay media" and their use of the word "homophobia" in an equally epic, even more random barrage:
- Gay media has to stop using "homophobia" as a means to try and victimize itself and scar the names of its opponents.
- Phobia would imply that I am scared of gay men or dislike them because of what they choose to do sexually
- I promise, no one gives a f--k what u decide to do in your private lives.
Okay. But was she done? Of course not. Duh.
The rapper, who calls Iggy Azalea a mayonnaise Satan and recently ripped Kendrick Lamar as well, wants to reassure you she will out-hate EVERYONE.
- But I also promise, that no matter how bitchy and clever you think you are.. That I will out-bitch you.
- But I'm just going to ignore yall from here on out cause YALL are really just reaching and looking for any reason to insert ur selves
Good to know, Azealia Banks. Good to know.
