AceShowbiz - Azealia Banks has come under fire after posting on Instagram a photo of herself sporting white face makeup for her new music video. She simply captioned the pic, "#whiteface." People soon commented on the picture, calling her "racist."
The female rapper attempted to explain the "#whiteface" photo, but she offended people even more with her choice of words. "Lol u crackers wish I cared enough to be doing whiteface. I'm becoming the ICE PRINCESS YAAAAAAS," she wrote on her Twitter. She added later, "I use the word crAcker just as much as I use the word n****r... Don't get mad now."
She also tweeted, "And sidebar.. When snoop [dogg] did whiteface YALL all thought that shit was hilarious and funny right? #MISOGYNOIR at its finest!!" Misogynoir refers to anti-black misogyny, where race and gender together are factors in the hatred of black women.
The "Chasing Time" hitmaker then criticized "gay media" and the use of the word "homophobia." She tweeted, "Gay media has to stop using homophobia as a means to try and victimize itself and scar the names of its opponents."
"Phobia would imply that I am scared of gay men or dislike them because of what they choose to do sexually," she continued. "I promise, no one gives a f**k what u decide to do in your private lives."
"But I also promise, that no matter how b****y and clever you think you are.. That I will out-b***h you," she added, before concluding her rants, "But I'm just going to ignore yall from here on out cause YALL are really just reaching and looking for any reason to insert ur selves."
