Azealia Banks called SZA all sorts of names in an unprovoked tirade online.
On Sunday morning, September 22, the "212" artist took to X formerly known as Twitter, and called out the Grammy award-winning singer in a nasty rant.
“Sza is really such an ugly person for having rza on her album after asking me to be on it, Me politely and honestly declining, after news of him trying to pimp me out to Russell Crowe broke,” she wrote. “That was really a huge slap in the face and truest sign of a b***h who will always be ugly.”
“Sis can get all the procedures in the world," she continued. "She’ll always be that insecure fat Muslim girl from New Jersey with the big chin and the gay husband."
Banks might be referring to SZA's 2017 album Ctrl. The Wu-Tang Clan leader wasn't involved in the making of her album. However, he did lay down a verse for a promo video, in which SZA revealed the then-anticipated release date for the album.
“I’m zoning in with my homegirl, SZA — Self Savior, Zig-Zag-Zig Allah," RZA rapped in the promo video. "Yeah, I think you can take that far, mama/Ya know what I mean? Cut loose the drama, no melodrama/Rise to the top, claim ya karma/And it’s my honor to drop this lesson, it’s my honor to give this blessing.”
It's not clear why Banks lashed out at SZA for working with RZA over seven years ago. She declined to provide any context to her derogatory posts. Her transgressions with RZA stem from allegations she made about actor Russell Crowe in 2016. She claimed Crowe called her the n-word, spat at her, choked her, and tossed her out of a party he hosted in a hotel room in Los Angeles. RZA, who brought her to the event, denied her allegations at first, but then later admitted he saw Crowe spit at her.
As of this report, SZA has not reacted to Banks' posts.
