Azealia Banks Launches Sick Racist And Homophobic Rant At Zayn Malik

Azealia Banks is no stranger to a Twitter rant, and last night One Direction singer Zayn Malik was on the receiving end of one of her most vile tirades to date.

The 24-year-old, who seems to really think a lot of herself, went to extraordinary lengths to be offensive and downright racist.

I'm actually shocked at what I've been reading.

It all started when Azealia pointed out that Zayn's new video looks an awfully lot like one of hers. Fair comment. It kind of does. But no-one deserves the awful treatment that soon followed.

After this went up on Instagram, Zayn put out this cryptic tweet..

Followed by this..

Then Azealia went off...

Zayn responded by saying he wasn't talking about her, but she was having none of it.

Weirdly, she then started on UK radio station, Capital...

It's unbelievable. Surely, rule number one of being a celebrity is to not be racist and homophobic?
