Azealia Banks Kicked Off Twitter After Homophobic & Racist Rant Against Zayn

Azealia Banks confronted yet another backlash after she tweeted homophobic and racial insults to Zayn Malik, who she accused of copying her look in his video, "Like I Would." She called Malik "the token sand n***a from 1D," and "faggot."

What makes someone get suspended from Twitter? The New York Daily News reports:

"The 140-character platform suspends users' accounts, either temporarily or permanently, if they engage in 'abusive tweets or behavior.'"

However, a Twitter rep told Daily News that "[they] do not comment on individual accounts, for privacy and security reasons." Whatever, all we know is the Twitter-sphere is a slightly safer space without Azealia in it.
