Azealia Banks Rekindles Beef With K. Michelle By Sending New Shot

With all of the spats Azealia Banks has, it might be hard to remember that she got into it with K. Michelle a few years ago. It was over a tour they were scheduled to do, and both dissed each other on social media.

That was back in 2015, but Banks has now rekindled the beef and sent a brand new shot at the singer.

“Finally realizing the reason K. Michelle cancelled our tour, is because her ass was rotting,” wrote Banks. “Or maybe I made her ass rot for canceling the tour. Hmm.”

When Michelle first cancelled the tour, she quickly shut down any talk of having a beef with the Harlem rapper. She even sent a message to her fans and said the tour would be postponed, and everything seemed positive.

Banks told the same thing to her fans and had nothing negative to say about the R&B singer either. That was until something went awry and Michelle sent a shot.

“Poor lizard. Need them coins,” wrote Michelle.

“You sought me out,” Banks replied. “I never had any interest in working with you or meeting you, honey child. Keep crying on cue and getting them ass shots out the hotel room … And you wonder why you don’t have a man. Not with that big old nasty dumpy fake butt, looking like you sh-tted in a pamper.”

After Banks’ latest diss, a few people left comments and called her a hypocrite. That’s because the rapper admitted she cried on “Wild ‘N Out” when she got teased, which is something Nick Cannon recently discussed.

“It think it’s funny how it’s okay for her to talk sh– about everyone else, but when she went on ‘Wild ‘N Out’ she cried, ‘cause she didn’t like the sh– they said about her,” one person wrote.

“Cry baby, shut up,” another person commented. “[You’re a] cyberbully but punk in real life.”

Michelle hasn’t responded to Banks yet.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
