Azealia Banks & Perez Hilton: Twitter Feud With Angel Haze Goes Too Far

Azealia Banks Perez Hilton
The ongoing feud between Azealia Banks and Angel Haze just went even further.
Banks caused major controversy Friday night when she called blogger Perez Hilton "a messy f----t" after he commented on the fight.

lol what a messy faggot you are.
Rappers Haze and Banks have been engaged in a Twitter battle this week, with each artist posting diss tracks targeting the other. While the feud has taken a turn for the dramatic, it originally began when Banks tweeted "Seriously, if you were not born and raised in NY.... DON'T CLAIM NY. YOU ARE NOT A NEW YORKER." The Michigan-born Haze, who released her music video "New York" this summer, took offense and fired back at Banks.
Once the feud heated up, Hilton sided with Haze and started tweeting at Banks, calling her "thirsty," "pathetic," and "hurtful."
UPDATE:
Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has weighed in on Banks' use of the slur. "Banks’ claim that the word "fa**ot" doesn’t mean a gay male is not true," the organization posted on its website. "Regardless of her intent or her personal definition, what matters is the meaning given to that word by those who hear it, and the damage it causes when they do. Undoubtedly there are gay kids who follow her on Twitter who hear this word in an entirely different context. This word is used almost universally by bullies, often as part of a larger verbal or physical assault. This word hurts those kids, no matter what Banks meant by it."
Take a look at some of Banks' tweets regarding Hilton and her use of the slur below and scroll down for earlier coverage of the feud.

My most sincere apologies to anyone who was indirectly offended by my foul language. Not sorry for Perez tho. Lol

YUNG RAPUNXEL
Unpleasant meddling woman = bitch, unpleasant meddling man = Perez Hilton

YUNG RAPUNXEL
When I said acts like I female I should've said acts like a cunt.

YUNG RAPUNXEL
If u listen to my music and are not offended by the word nigga.... We're not gonna go here with this faggot shit... We're just not. Lol

YUNG RAPUNXEL
A faggot is not a homosexual male. A faggot is any male who acts like a female. There's a BIG difference.
More from our earlier coverage on the Haze/Banks dispute:
Angel Haze and Azealia Banks are both trendy, blog-y rappers known for speaking their minds. On Thursday, "speaking their minds" meant hurling insult after insult at each other on Twitter and, in Haze's case, in a song.
The blow-by-blow on Haze and Banks' Twitter feeds is worth a read, but essentially, Banks starting things off by saying she's tired of non-New York artists trying to represent or claim the city as their own:

YUNG RAPUNXEL
Seriously, if you were not born and raised in NY.... DON'T CLAIM NY. YOU ARE NOT A NEW YORKER.
Though there was no mention of Haze, the excitable rapper clearly took offense, firing off a string of now-deleted tweets attacking Banks -- who responded by accusing Haze of jealousy and being sexually attracted to her. Things got progressively worse, with Haze commenting on Banks' skin color (and apologizing) and calling the "212" rapper "azebra":

okay, im seriously done with azebra's madagascar 4 looking ass. say it in a song. or tell the people why you're really salty.
Haze then released "On the Edge," a Diplo-produced diss track that rips into Banks (listen above). She claimed she wrote it in "20 minutes," though a Banks fan produced evidence to the contrary. According to Banks, Diplo called and distanced himself from the song:

YUNG RAPUNXEL
So diplo just calls me and tells me she wrote that track months ago and he had nothing to do with it.
In the end, Banks said it's all for the better, and that she has a song coming out at noon. We'll update once the track is available: Here's the track:

YUNG RAPUNXEL
Lol I def used that energy to write a fly new jam tho. It's not even really a diss anymore! Haha !!!


YUNG RAPUNXEL
Just straight fly uptown NYC shit!!! "NO PROBLEMS" - 12pm !!!!!!
Haze takes this round, at least when it comes to the songs. She also vowed to record another track "in 30 minutes" and suggested their feud extends beyond Twitter:

Young Gypsy
Lol, so fraudulent. You know what happened between us months ago and if you want to pretend its all just twitter beef, fine.


Young Gypsy
At the end of the day, I was the only bitch who bothered to be nice to and speak well of you. On the inside, we all know what’s real, b.


Young Gypsy
And the only thing I can do as a person is applaud you for your success and ignore you when you’re ignorant. It’s all a game to you. Night.
Though celebrity feuds that play out on Twitter are often entertaining, it's disheartening to see two talented young performers tear each other down like this. Haze and Banks represent a new generation of fresh-faced and lucid female MC's who have taken hip-hop places it hasn't been before. Banks performs at fashion events around the world and Haze's recent work is so searingly honest that it makes listeners catch their breath. Both rappers have also worked with electronic dance music producers to release tracks that blend rap and dance.
As Haze herself pointed out, they used to be buddies. Hopefully one day they can drop their smartphones and get in the studio together.
