Azealia Banks Fires Shots at Lil Kim on Twitter

A couple weeks ago, i read news that Azealia Banks and Iggy Azalea were beefing. But the funny thing was that, i didn't even know who either chick was. I guess i had seen the names on hip hop sites a couple of times, but i didn't know who they were. I did a little research and found out they were both up and coming female rappers in the game, and Iggy was was signed to T.I's Grand Hustle Label. Then i come online today and i read that the same Azealia Banks was now sending shots at Lil Kim on twitter.

You need to read the tweets and news surrounding it before i go on-

"Okay so true tea is that Lil Kim got mad that I wrote a verse for her on a record I wanted her on.," she tweeted Sunday (May 6).

"Everyone knows Lil Kim doesn't write her own raps and I saw this as a faster more efficient way of getting the track done."

"She then had her assistant write me some long ass offensive email about how Lil Kim writes her own raps and doesn't need anyone's help."

"So..... My question was and is still... IS SHE DOING THE TRACK?"

"Who cares about what you use to do.... WILL YOU DO THE TRACK??!"

"All this extra sh*t is stupid. Keep closing your own doors ma. @lilkim"

"There is no beef. At all." (Azealia Banks' Twitter)

This was then followed by Kim and her camp issuing a statement.

"My client and azealia have NEVER spoke to one another or met AT ALL. Kim was actually very flattered azealia's public admiration for her, which is why it's so hard to understand how someone who claims to be a true Lil Kim fan could flip the script so easily on someone who was supposedly their idol. It is also VERY interesting that NO ONE from her team made any attempts to reach out to anyone from our team to voice any concerns or problems that they may have had. I have NEVER heard of anyone having a conflict with someone they have NEVER met with or personally spoke with. We have no idea what they are referencing and have no desire to discuss the matter any further as there is nothing to talk about. It honestly seems that someone from azealia's team would rather have her fans buy into manufactured drama instead of buying music." [sic] (All Hip Hop)

Immediately after Kim's response, Banks used the opportunity to taunt her move.

"@LilKim all the time it took u to get ur team to issue a press release bout this YOU COULDA WROTE THE VERSE!!!"

"@LilKim you DO know that YOUR management where the ones who said u needed us to write a reference verse in the first place .. Right?"

"Another week, another twitter feud. I'm deleting it now." (Azealia Banks' Twitter)

All i can conclude is this chick is looking for attention...this is definitely some type of publicity stunt, and a childish one at that. I guess she managed to get some attention, cos i went on to listen and watch two of her videos on Youtube. From the two tracks i heard, i can say she has got some skills, but she isn't trying to be an emcee or anything. She is focusing more on appealing to white Americans and Europeans. Her style is definitely not straight up hip hop.

I also got to know that she is 20 years old...i already guessed that she was young reading her tweets anyway. How do you blast someone on twitter from no where...someone you wanted to work with- you disrespect the person, and you keep asking if she is still interested in doing the track with you or not. Does this chick not have a management behind her? Or is it the team that are giving her this leads?

And the thing about "everybody knowing that lil kim doesn't write her own lyrics" is foreign to me. That's the same way people said Fat Joe never wrote his lyrics, that Big Pun wrote them for him. Forgetting that Fat Joe was rapping before Pun came on the scene. Fat Joe actually signed Pun to Terror Squad around 97, and Joe had already dropped two albums by then. Then after Pun died, they said he was using Pun's rhyme book.

The thing i don't like about stuff like what Azealia Bank's or what ever her name is is doing is that, the million's of people that don't know any better would just jump on what she said, and believe it wholeheartedly. And, i searched the whole web, and found only about 4 songs to her name. Why you talk shit and can't back it up? She needs to stay in her lane, and just do her. Focus on having a career first Azealia, then you can run your mouth if you want.
