On Wednesday, rapper Azealia Banks unleashed a racially-charged beef against Australian-born rapper Iggy Azalea on social media. The expletive Twitter outburst came after the New York City grand jury failed to indict NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo over the chokehold death of unarmed black man Eric Garner.
Controversial Azealia Banks is currently under fire for launching an odd and racially-fuelled social media beef at 24-year-old breakout artist Iggy Azalea. Banks started her long-drawn-out rant on Twitter Wednesday afternoon. According to News.com.au, her online tirade canvassed not just her aversion of the blonde rapper but also defending alleged rapist Bill Cosby and using an anti-gay insult at a gossip writer.
The ever hot-tempered Azealia Banks started calling Iggy Azalea as "Igloo Australia" for failing to comment on "black issues" in spite of taking advantage on the adoption of African-American culture in her music. In Banks' Twitter beef, The Guardian reported she also accused the media for giving Azalea excessive coverage, which to her rightfully belongs to Nicki Minaj.
its funny to see people Like Igloo Australia silent when these things happen... Black Culture is cool, but black issues sure aren't huh?

"If you're down to ride with us bitch, you gotta RIDE ALL THE WAY," Banks tweeted.
Azealia Banks' social media posts then even got nastier.
"LOL... I'M PETTY, but it's so true, ugh, that wannabe black girl s--t makes me wanna throw a jar of my p--- at her LMFAOOOO," Banks posted.
Iggy Azalea initially responded to Banks's racially-charged beef and her social justice warriors with an ironic social media post.
"I see all hell broke loose while I was at rehearsals today," Azalea tweeted.
In another insult against Azalea, Banks also referenced the Ku Klux Klan and even describing wanting to urinate in a jar and throw it at the blond rapper. E! News also reported that Banks used a racial slur against fellow rapper T. I., who has long been regarded as Azalea's mentor, in an additional tweet.
Like, fill a jar with piss and mayo and eggs and just dump that shit on that bitch's head LMFAOOOOOOO — CATTY NOIR (@AZEALIABANKS) December 4, 2014
Iggy Azalea also responded on Twitter through several posts.
"We've all read the script 49584068408540 billion times now, find a new game plan," Azalea tweeted. Then she later added another post, "There's more to sparking a change than trolling on social media. World issues shouldn't be used as a poor excuse to promote fan battles."
"Make sure you do something to let YOUR government know how you feel when something is unjust, not JUST your followers on Twitter," Azalea tweeted.
Despite Azealia Banks' expletive social media beef against Iggy Azalea, the Australian rapper just promoted her upcoming tour, which The Daily Mail reported she mistakenly announced Joe Jonas to be the opening act for her 2015 arena tour instead of younger brother Nick Jonas.
"HAHAHA wait, sorry Joe, I mean @nickjonas HAHAHAHA shit! DONT KILL ME," the blonde rapper promply corrected.
what I'm trying to say is: @nickjonas is my special guest on tour next year. — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) December 4, 2014
