Azealia Banks Criticizes Beyoncé For Being Anti-Feminist

In spite of Azealia Banks’s original support of Beyoncé’s new album, she is now voicing some markedly different opinions on Twitter. Lemonade was released over the weekend, and while the visual album has caused quite a bit of controversy in the short time since it premiered on HBO, this is a whole new level of cray. Aside from accusing Bey of stealing things from Banks’s own tour, Azealia also asserts that the album promotes ideas that are “the antithesis of what feminism is.” 

Below are just a few excerpts from Banks’s long and very confusing Twitter rant:




While Banks is certainly entitled to a change of heart, she definitely has some explaining to do when it comes to these accusations. Perhaps, this all has something to do with the fact that Azealia released a new song of her own yesterday. Regardless, the Beyhive is on it.
