On October 1, Azealia Banks took to Instagram and tore into Lana Del Rey for her criticisms of Kanye West and his support of Donald Trump. Banks accused Del Rey of "selective outrage," of partaking in "bootleg witchcraft" – Lana has openly discussed taking part in a ceremony to curse Trump – and ordered her to apologize to West.
Two weeks later, on October 9, Lana Del Rey responded to Banks on Twitter. "u coulda been the greatest female rapper alive but u blew it," she wrote. "dont take it out on the only person who had ur back." She also offered Banks the opportunity to "pull up anytime [and] Say it to me face." See Del Rey's tweets below.
Lana Del Rey's upcoming album is titled Norman Fucking Rockwell, and she's shared two new songs called "Venice Bitch" and "Mariners Apartment Complex." Banks's album Fantasea II may or may not be cancelled, and she recently appeared on Nick Cannon's Wild N Out and in the home of Elon Musk.
