Azealia Banks wrote a new series of X posts that not only criticized Lil Nas X's music and made allegations about his personal life, but also ended up including her thoughts on various other celebrities, politicians, and even the 2024 presidential election. While Banks is well known for making inflammatory remarks on social media, the rapper had been keeping a lower profile in recent years.

As Nas X caught wind of what Banks said and chose to respond, it opened the floodgates for the Broke With Expensive Taste rapper to share even more X posts criticizing Nas X and other celebs who are currently making headlines.

Keep scrolling to read our full breakdown of the social media feud between Azealia Banks and Lil Nas X, as well as the rapper's comments about other artists, politicians, and social media commentators.

Lil Nas X

The standout X posts from Banks' latest stream of consciousness related to Lil Nas X. She first wrote:

"Lil Nas X really fell off so hard. Lmfao that little c*ntrag swore she was the tea. B*tch has NO BARS. Hahahahaahahahaa."

In a since-deleted X post, Nas X responded:

"Azealia I could never make a hit song again and you would still never in ur b*ssy soap selling chicken sacrificing botched body hating ass miserable life reach a 10th of my success. Love ur music btw. [kiss emoji]."

Pop Crave reported on that original exchange between Nas X and Banks, which prompted the "212" rapper to write another thread of posts:

"Lmfao this f*cking over grown twink don't make me release them gay ass photos of u mocking the LA crips with that white boy u hired on rent man. Ull get ur top blown off real quick bitch. Don't f*ck with me [n-word]."

She continued, "U have no success [n-word]. It's giving buckbroke raceplay uncle Tom ass eater. Not u begging me to be on ur little trash ass song. U mad I declined. Booooooooooooo b*tch. Ur over."

Banks wrote in subsequent posts about Nas X:

"Lmao u have to PAY dirty little nobody ass white twinks to f*ck u, I will spit in ur mouth [f-word]. Watch urself u burnt b*tch."

"B*tch I'm not about to argue with a late [f-word]," she went on. "U mad the white gays made u a minstrel, f*cked u in every hole, and tossed u off a bridge. Go soak that bleeding assh*le In a tub with some white vinegar... you'll be aight. Hold ya head MA @LilNasX."

Later, Banks shared another post about the Montero rapper:

"And [f-word] u almost didn't have ONE hit if them crackers ain't jump in and do charity work. U was out here with flies in the corner of your eyes eating a bowl of porridge with a swollen belly b*tch, saved you for 0.67cents a day head ass COME THE F*CK AGAIN HO @LilNasX I will really smack fire out u b*tch. Sit down."

During the evening of Sunday, October 27, Nas X shared an Instagram story trying to bury the hatchet with Banks. He shared the song "Out of Space" by Azealia Banks and wrote:

"Sending u love Azealia. Wishing u nothing but guidance and clarity. I want u to chase ur dreams. Get on ur sh*t. It's the best time period in music for ur art to thrive. Idc what u f*ck sh*t u say about me. I wanna see u win and shine your light. U can drop this internet bully act at any time. Ur fans love u. We love u. [heart emojis]."

One day later, on Monday, October 28, Banks reacted to Nas X's Instagram story.

"Where, are, your, bars... we are not going to use patronization to circumvent the topic here..." she argued. "The topic is that you cannot f*cking Rap son. @LilNasX. You're a terrible lyricist with pedestrian musical sensibilities. We need to come to a consensus on where your talent is. Fine, we can agree that your a little piece of eye candy for these desperate old white homo's in fashion... but where is your music b*tch?"

Kim Petras

Oddly enough, this new series of posts started with Banks quote-reposting an X user claiming that Lady Gaga's "Disease" is "trying to xerox Kim Petra's song."

The irony begins with this X user misspelling Petras' last name. While Banks' response was somewhat complimentary to Gaga, things took a wild turn regarding Grammy Award-winning pop star Petras, who was signed to Dr. Luke's label and was therefore contractually obligated to collaborate with him on different songs throughout her career.

The rapper wrote:

"This is actually all Dr. Luke coded. Kim WISHES she was original enough to be copied. Lmao do not gas this Lego head strong German HANS-face box jaw broomhilda ass b*tch up lmaooooo. F*ck outta hereeeeee lmaooooo.. the gays only f*ck with Kim tetris jaw on the internet. No one and I mean NOBODY plays this sh*t in the club. Kim petras is gay algorithm, Lady Gaga is gay culture. MASSIVE DIFFERENCE."

She went on, "But fr Dr. Luke ... high key that dry ass d*ck u keep giving the girls is tired babe. It needs some lotion. Lmaooo u can't be out here making the girls share the same pair of panties especially if u think u bold enough to f*ck with me. The way I'm about to shit on Dr. Luke's whole monopoly he thinks he has on female music culture is going to be so epic."

"I'm really a much better everything than Dr. Luke AND Jay-Z. AZEALIA BANKS is Big Daddy, the rapper wrote. "Y'all h*es better stop letting these [n-word] play with ya heads. Lmaoo"

"I have the sauce. Jay been trying to turn Beyoncé into his own little Azealia Banks for like the past 5 albums. It's quite embarrassing. Just stop," Banks wrapped.

Lily Allen

Lily Allen was also mentioned in Banks' new series of X posts. In case you didn't know, the two musicians have had a long-standing feud in the press and through social media posts. In 2024, that feud was re-upped following Allen's negative criticism of Beyoncé's "Jolene" from the Cowboy Carter album.

"@lilyallen you know, I think it's very safe to say that Azealia Banks won the war," the rapper wrote. "Dumb ass cokehead b*tch. I wouldn't spit on your kid if he was on fire."

Banks added, "No for real b*tch @lilyallen what the f*ck do you have to say for yourself now? I'm a grown ass woman now, where is all that f*ckin mouth u had u frail cotton mouth having ass b*tch?"

Banks continued:

"Pop out h*e. @lilyallen bring ur pissy ass to terminal 5 on Halloween b*tch I have a present for you."

The rapper ended these remarks by linking out to a Variety article reporting on Lily Allen's recent statement that she is "earning more money" from OnlyFans than through her music streaming royalties. "Lmfao u f*cking bag of trash @lilyallen," Banks remarked. "Who's music is f*cking garbage?"

Kamala Harris and Black women

"The world is ready to have the right black woman as the leader of the free world - and that's [Condoleezza] Rice. Kamala Harris is dumb drunk dumbass that no world leader has any respect for, and just as we saw that insanely orchestrated hunting of black men during Obamas tenure, the exact same will happen to black women but worse in America. Its not always about stupid ass identity politics. kamala is a fucking retarded dumb ass point blank. Whether she is black or white male female or whatever. She's a fucking imbecile."

"Like the stupid bitch really offered Black men FREE WEED IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR VOTE WHAT IN F*CKING TARNATION."

"Like the stupid bitch really offered black men FREE WEED IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR VOTE WHAT IN F*CKING TARNATION."

Candace Owens

One thing about Banks: she'll diss, speculate, and/or comment on people from all sides of a story and across the political spectrum. For instance, despite being critical of Kamala Harris, Banks shared an X post speculating on the sexual orientation of conservative pundit Candace Owens (who, for the record, identifies as straight).

"When is Candace Owens going to admit she's a lesbian?" Banks asked while quote-sharing another X post.

Tyler, the Creator

Tyler, the Creator just released his latest studio album, Chromakopia, which also got feedback from Banks.

"No cunt," she wrote. "Jump back in the box."

Chappell Roan

Another artist who caught strays from Banks' series of X posts was Chappell Roan. Banks shared in a post:

"Sis I love u down don't get canceled @ChappellRoan u gotta save the white girls from basicry and minstrelsy. Lol I know ppl r annoying but I really enjoy your music. A lot of the sh*t u see online really be some f*cking psyop ass bot services usually hired to pester you by record execs and management teams who see u as a threat to their product (artist). It took me YEARS to figure out I was being hoodwinked lmao... do not fall for the bullsh*t, don't let urself get bullied by b*tches who have to plan their sex lives around the last time they've had a meal… [laugh emoji] PERIOOOOD."

Nicki Minaj

An X post from Buzzing Pop about Nicki Minaj reportedly wanting to go to college also earned commentary from Banks.

"Is sis gonna get her citizenship first or?" Banks wrote.

Beyoncé

Azealia Banks shared a series of bizarre X posts furthering the unsubstantiated rumors that Beyoncé is somehow tied to the crimes that Sean Combs a.k.a. Diddy has been accused of. A few weeks ago, TV host Piers Morgan received a "legal ultimatum" after drawing comparisons between Jay-Z and Diddy, as reported by NBC News.

"LIKE FOR F*CKS SAKE. IF THIS IS NOT GIVING HUMILIATION RITUAL I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO CALL IT. WHY MY B*TCH COULDNT BE ENJOYING A LOVELY POKÉ BOWL OR A NICE SALAD?? FRIED F*CKING CHICKEN YALL???"

"BEYONCÉ IS DEF ON THEM TAPES WITH THE STRAP-ON POWER DRILLING ALL THE GWORLZ DEEP IN THE BUTT HONEY. WHAT WHAT IN THE BUTT! BESHINKASHÉ IS ON THEM TAPES PLUNNNGGINGGG THE GWORLS AND BREAKIN THEM APARTTTTTTT. PERIOOOOOOD."

"But I lowkey live for strap-on domme yoncé. My b*tch better have the TOOLY on ha!"

Chance the Rapper

In another X post, Banks brought up Chance the Rapper and declared:

"I literally have not seen the phrase 'chance the rapper' since he went into hiding after the trans p*rn debacle. [N-word] really been in hiding that's funnnnnyyyy."

Bad Bunny

Banks also reacted to a post about Bad Bunny endorsing Kamala Harris. The rapper wrote:

"Bad Bunny looks a lot like one of the chickens from the movie Chicken Run. His eyes are way too close together."
