Azealia Banks has entered another Twitter feud, and this time it’s with Disney Channel star Skai Jackson over former One Direction member Zayn Malik.
The battle began when Jackson tweeted about Banks’ Instagram post where she said Malik stole visuals for his new music video, “Like I Would”, from her clips for “Yung Rapunxul” and “Chasing Time,” according to The Daily Mirror.
Banks got into a Twitter war with the ex-boy band member when she went in on him for appropriating Black culture.

Banks calls Malik a “white boy” despite the fact that his father is English-Pakistani, according to Biography.
Act like a white boy pretending to be black? https://t.co/fNAk8XI1dg

Do you understand that you are a sand nigger who emulates white boys' renditions of black male hood? https://t.co/fNAk8XI1dg

The rapper’s derogatory tweets has gotten her removed from headlining Rinse FM’s Born & Bread Festival in July, according to The Guardian.

After the Malik feud, 24-year-old Banks focused on Jackson when the 14-year-old tweeted the following:
Azealia Banks needs to simmer down a little??
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 10, 2016
Banks responded, and the two exchanged insults.
@AZEALIABANKS When a no hip having 14 year old has more class than you. Worry about your career. Get one. ✌?
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
They also took aim at each other’s careers.
@AZEALIABANKS I had a career before Disney and I'm sure I will after! And I know I won't turn out like you bitter and miserable! Fix ur life
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
Then they brought their mothers into the mix.
@AZEALIABANKS and I'm sure my mom did a wayyy better job then yours did! You give black women a bad name. I'll be praying for you???
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
Jackson made a pun on Banks’ name.
@AZEALIABANKS you got dissed by a one directioner how miserable can your life be?? Now have several seats Azealia Stanks!
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
And Banks responded by taking aim at Jackson’s internet meme of her sitting backstage before an interview in April. It’s frequently used to show pettiness online, according to Know Your Meme.
@AZEALIABANKS a meme with 2.3 million Instagram followers. My memes are more relevant than you? now that's sad. Now bye Twitter troll
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
The battle didn’t stop there. The Black women tore each other down even more. This time, they fired at each other for their appearances. Banks poked fun at Jackson’s body while the “Jessie” actress bashed the rapper’s hair.
@AZEALIABANKS now that was corny ! ? go fix your edges before you come at me! #byenow Hide behind your weaves much?
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
The squabble finally ended when Banks told the child star to enjoy her fame while it lasts and Jackson decided she had enough of the back and forth, deeming the conversation a waste of time.
@AZEALIABANKS take your L like a champ! ✌?️
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
@AZEALIABANKS this wasted conversation is helping your career ! Bye hunny ?
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
One user in support of Jackson posted a tweet using the meme in question after the fire had died down.

This is the latest in a slew of online arguments the MC has had involving celebrities. Others include taking on the BeyHive in April after Banks praised and then criticized Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” visual album. She also took aim at rapper Wale earlier that same month, accusing him of selling Black women into slavery.
Tuesday night’s social media battle is the first one for Jackson. But her mother, Kiya Cole, weighed in on her Instagram account saying, “I don’t play those games.”
