The meat between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion has develop into such a Black cultural second that rappers who aren’t even concerned are throwing of their two cents. And nobody provides two cents like Harlem rapper Azealia Banks.
Now let’s get this straight, Banks shares her opinion on just about the whole lot, so her commenting on the meat that everybody has been speaking about for the final week isn’t shocking. However what she particularly has to say has folks’s ears perked up.
On Thursday morning, the “Luxurious” rapper posted a sequence of movies on her Instagram story, the place she was heard weighing in on the nasty feud between Minaj and Megan. Whereas she made a number of factors for why she thinks the 2 gifted MCs are beefing, essentially the most noteworthy was when she introduced up Jay-Z. And belief us, it’s not for the rationale you would possibly assume.
To start, Banks stated, “Initially I used to be simply going to remain out of this as a result of it’s one other day, one other feminine rap beef. Who actually cares? However I believe there’s some attention-grabbing elements to this that everybody’s lacking. This isn’t about Meg collaborating with Cardi. That is about Jay-Z. … Jay-Z has this fashion of presenting himself within the tradition as a Daddy Warbucks sort of determine.”
She goes on to make the wild declare that “six or seven instances out of ten,” ladies who select rap as a profession in all probability don’t have a father determine. For this reason Banks thinks that Minaj (and different feminine MCs) have a look at Hov for steerage and mentorship.
She later added, “Jay-Z has kinda positioned himself on this manner the place nearly each sort of feminine city artist feels she wants his approval of kinds. I might simply low-key really feel she’s felt slighted by Jay. Simply by his affiliation with Meek Mill. However on the similar time, Minaj desires to wiggle her manner in unhealthy. That’s what this beef is about. She desires to be a Roc Nation lady so f***ing unhealthy.”
Banks later defined that Hov hasn’t “co-signed” a feminine MC shortly, and the truth that Megan is with Roc-Nation pissed Minaj off.
However Banks didn’t cease together with her accusations of Minaj there. She additionally made some critical claims about her checking account and her… butt?
Banks acknowledged, “It’s fairly clear that Nicki’s f***ed. That she’s f***ed financially. realized it when she was frying the can of cream corn within the Teflon pan. I used to be similar to, ‘What within the welfare is going on proper now?’”
She continued, “You’ll be able to inform by no matter retains occurring with Nicki’s butt that she’s f***ed proper now. There’s one thing very f***ing unsuitable with the butt proper now. I do know that surgical procedure to get that out there’s a fairly penny.”
Now, you possibly can inform Banks phrases about Minaj with a grain of salt, as the 2 aren’t essentially cordial with one another. Greater than a decade in the past in 2012, Banks was supplied to go on tour with the “Pink Friday” rapper. She declined since she was engaged on her debut album.
Minaj then tweeted, “#ManTheseBitches Delirious.”
Whereas it wasn’t clear that she was speaking about Banks, she took it that manner anyway, and let off a sequence of tweets the place she stated, “Use good grammar when insulting others” and “I don’t consider ‘Rap sport’ hierarchy……….Sorry.”
