AceShowbiz - Matty Healy has been forced to deflate his ego following a heated back-and-forth with Azealia Banks on social media. The British musician has called himself "pathetic" and claimed to have had "manic episodes" after the American singer threatened to sue him over his violent threat.

On Wednesday, December 4, The 1975 frontman expressed his regret for his previous tweets addressed to Azealia. "Guys I don't have the right kind of intelligence / emotional maturity etc for social media I literally just end up saying stuff that immediately regret etc," he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. "I'm actually just gonna stick to music cos I'm good at that. Having manic episodes on twitter at 35 is kinda pathetic."

Matty posted the tweet after Azealia said she's suing him for threatening to slap her. "Because I'm suing him. Ahora," she wrote earlier on Wednesday. "Having something to say is one thing but threatening me with physical violence is where the line gets drawn. Threatened to slap me twice, dox me, called me ugly. I haven't slept all night I am very stressed."

Matty and Azealia have been engaged in a heated argument on X over the latter's comments about Charli XCX's appearance. Defending his friend and fellow artist, the rocker said, "Azealia you seem to have a blind spot when it comes to your 'reads'. All the women you attack seem to be culturally relevant, attractive, divisive and NICE people. I think this makes you jealous cos you're so talented but everything else about you is a failure. Just rap bro."

After Azealia doubled down on her opinions, Matty clapped back, "And on that point if I see one little s**t bag twitter barista say ONE thing about my Gabi, EVER, I will use my mental illness to full affect and I will dox and f**k you up I'm so over pretending to have different standards online coz it's 'not real'. Well, a f**kin slap is."

Azealia further irked Matty by mocking his fiancee Gabbriette. He then responded, "Azealia I know you think your life is some episode of the library is open but I am not the one. Talk to me like that I'm not gonna side eye you at an awards do I'll f**king slap you so hard I'll get a Guiness world record for the highest a rat some b***h calls a wig has ever flown."

Matty immediately backtracked on his threat though, saying, "Nah I can't be saying I'm gonna hit a girl that's insane I'm sorry. You just can't keep being so mean about my mates and my mrs it's really hurtful gets me well defensive." He added in a separate tweet, "Nah fr I was just trying to match your vibe im scared now im sorry bro, I was just sticking up for my mates. Im not tough lol."
