Azealia Banks isn’t one to shy away from sharing her thoughts, and now that Elon Musk has allowed her return to Twitter (she was de-platformed in 2018), she’s been using the app to speak her mind once again. The controversial rapper took to Twitter on Friday (May 20) to share her latest thoughts on Cara Delevingne’s bizarre behavior towards Megan Thee Stallion at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (May 15), which many thought was fetishizing of Black women.
Azealia has her own awkward history with Cara, who could be seen on Sunday invading Megan Thee Stallion’s personal space on multiple occasions throughout the evening. The British star had previously walked on stage during Azealia’s performance at a Halloween party in 2021, and snatched the mic out of her hand while she performed her song “212.” After speaking inaudibly to the audience, Azealia took the mic back, and Cara proceeded to get down on all fours and lick Azealia’s leg.
When asked on Twitter to comment on Cara’s seeming obsession with Black women, Azealia offered her honest opinion and said her interest in Black women wasn’t problematic at all.
“Cara doesn’t have an obsession with black women,” she began. “It’s that upper crust English society full of fake white and jealous white hoes who were never as charismatic as she is that made fake friendships, tried sabotaging her every which way she moved and the intense jealousy of her older and extremely plain looking sister poppy that always made Cara feel sad and lonely.”
She continued by ripping into her older sister Poppy Delevingne, “Poppy would always say mad back handed slick shit and tell Cara’s business to people in the industry and I always remember Cara literally traveling the world completely alone 4 years.”

Jay-Z’s female artist marketing tactics are so fucking played out. Drum up some domestic violence lie, garner public sympathy, strip the artist of her confidence, isolate them and use them as vehicles for whatever white think tank agenda ala mode It’s actually fucking pitiful.

Cara never had to lie about being shot and conflate the very real death of Breonna Taylor into an agenda to garner sympathy during an election year. That SNL performance with the glass bullet holes was tasteless, careless and opportunistic. Bad acting on the gayle clips. https://t.co/DPCiMLEAqu
