Azealia Banks isn’t holding back as she targets Kendrick Lamar and Elliott Wilson in her latest social media tirade.
- Banks has criticized Top Dawg Entertainment and its artists online throughout the past year.
- Kendrick Lamar’s growing fame hasn’t impressed Banks, as she remains unconvinced of his stardom.
- Banks challenged the idea of Lamar as a star, comparing him unfavorably to Drake.
- Elliott Wilson’s tweet celebrating Lamar prompted Banks to launch into her fiery rant.
Azealia Banks is not shy when it comes to sharing her thoughts online, and recently, Kendrick Lamar found himself in her crosshairs. Known for her blunt and unfiltered commentary, Banks once again lit up Twitter, taking aim not only at Lamar but also at Elliott Wilson.
Over the past year, Banks has been particularly vocal about her disdain for Top Dawg Entertainment. Despite Kendrick Lamar’s growing popularity and critical acclaim, she is not convinced of his superstar status and isn’t shy about expressing her skepticism.
The drama sparked when Banks noticed a tweet by Elliott Wilson celebrating Kendrick’s achievements. This recognition of Lamar’s successes seemed to rub her the wrong way, prompting her to respond with a series of pointed tweets.
In a particularly scorching post, Banks dismissed the idea that Lamar could be someone aspiring to be like. She contrasted him with Drake, asserting that Drake is more appealing and has a greater command of a standardized American accent. “To be a star, men have to want to be you, and women have to want to f**k you,” Banks declared, comparing Lamar unfavorably to Drake.
While maintaining her harsh critique of Lamar, Banks did recognize Drake as a “more viable product” in global terms, although she framed the comparison in terms of industry and capitalist standards.
This isn’t the first time Banks has caused a stir with her opinions on well-known artists. From Doechii to Megan Thee Stallion, her history of controversial takes on social media is widely known. Such was the case with her remarks about Kendrick Lamar, which were seen as yet another notch in her belt of outspoken critiques.
Azealia Banks’ relentless critiques show no signs of stopping as she continues to speak her mind on social media, stirring the pot among fans and artists alike.
