Azealia Banks Could Be Banned From The UK, According To Reports

Yesterday, Azealia Banks launched a vile racist tirade at former One Direction singer Zayn Malik.

The disturbing rant came after the American rapper claimed Zayn had ripped off her creativity in his latest music video.

She then turned her attention to 14-year-old Disney star, Skai Jackson, who tweeted about the rant.

Since, Banks deleted the tweets, been removed from a festival headline slot and posted her thoughts about the situation on her twitter.

However, the rappers Twitter account has now been suspended.

In her 'statement' that she posted to Twitter, she said: "I said what I said to Zayn because I was angry. He felt as if he was too good to acknowledge me, yet not too good to copy my creativity."

"I had to remind him that we're both in the same boat in this industry and people of colour, no matter what you may think of yourself, the world still see's you as 'other'."

"As for Skai Jackson, her mum was on the internet tweeting me, which is why I went in. I knew it wasn't a 14-year-old."

"Furthermore, Skai Jackson hasn't even entered the real world yet, where real black women get vilified for being just that."

The 24-year-old then posted a series of tweets labeling herself as 'insanely fucking talented' and that she was resisting the temptation to say more terrible things.

"Resisting the urge to say loads more terrible things to each and every one of you."

"But obviously I'm insanely fucking talented and have already lowered myself to the levels of people who don't even deserve to share the same air I breathe," she said.

There's a few things to take away from this, but the most important is that she's still a bellend.

Now, according to NME, the Home Office is considering taking action against the 24-year-old, which might see her banned from the UK.

"Coming to the UK is a privilege, and we expect those who come here to respect our shared values. The Home Secretary has the power to exclude an individual if she considers that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good or if their exclusion is justified on public policy grounds," the Home Office said.

Might as well stay in the 212, love.
